announced today that Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth for the Xbox has

From Bethesda Softworks:
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is a first-person horror game that
allows for dynamic gameplay with a unique mix of investigation, puzzle solving,
exploration and combat as gamers are faced with the seemingly impossible task of
battling evil incarnate. Experience an incredibly immersive gaming environment
with no interface or ‘HUD’ on screen at any time during normal gameplay,

Set during the 1920s, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is based on the
Cthulhu Mythos inspired by the writing of H.P. Lovecraft, an American fantasy
and horror writer. Lovecraft, whose work has profoundly influenced numerous
fantasy and science fiction writers including Stephen King and Anne Rice, tells
stories of unthinkable evil, psychic possession and mythical worlds. Call of
Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is developed by Headfirst Productions and
produced in conjunction with Chaosium Inc., the publishers of the classic Call
of Cthulhu pen and paper RPG.
Headfirst Productions’ powerful technology enables Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners
of the Earth to be presented as an incredibly detailed and accurate depiction of
the sights and sounds of this unique 1920’s New England setting inspired by the
Cthulhu Mythos. A diverse range of cutting-edge special effects is utilized to
ensure both unprecedented levels of realism and a thorough portrayal of the
character’s mental degradation.
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is rated M for Mature, and will be
available this week in North American retail stores at a suggested retail price
of $39.99. For more information please visit
