A game based on the writings of one of the most frightening authors of all time has shipped just in time for Halloween. [i]Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth[/i] is inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos that was created by the American fantasy and horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. The Cthulhu Mythos describes a vast system of gruesome creatures and terrifying locations created by Lovecraft. Various other authors expanded the idea into a horrific universe. The game will be published by 2K Games and developed by Headfirst Productions, the publisher of the original Call of Cthulhu pen and paper RPG.

Sights, sounds, and in-game graphics will be used convey the character?s mental degradation.
