Related Topics – Call of Cthulhu

Right after E3 Jason reported about the state of Call of Cthulhu, an often delayed horror adventure game. Developer Headfirst Productions has now sent out a publisher related update on the game.

The publishing contract between Ravensburger Interactive and Headfirst Productions Limited for the development and publication of "Call of Cthulhu : Dark Corners of the Earth" has been terminated by Headfirst Productions Limited for breach of contract by Ravensburger Interactive. The game's development continues unabated and is now scheduled for release early in 2003. A further statement will be issued when a new publisher for this title has been found

Publishing enquiries should be sent to Mike Woodroffe.

Actually Cthulhu is inpronouncable, but you can try by saying k'tool-hoe.
Quake1 has lots of Lovecraftian influences in the creature design, but Cthulhu itself wasn't in it. The creature of the first level resembled a Nightgaunt, the final boss looked like a Dark-Young (and was called Shub-Niggurath, another creation of Lovecraft)

This doesn't sound good at all for this beautiful-looking game. The developer must be feeling the squeeze, too, because they've sunk a lot of time and money into this one as well as the technology, which is supposed to be the basis for their next project, too. Ugh.

It kind of reads like "we got our publisher out of the way, now we can get on with making the game."

Anyone know whatever happened to that game that was an update from an Amiga game which had a quad-split screen and was turn-based? I think it was called Hired Guns or something...

"The Call of Cthulhu" was a short story written by H. P. Lovecraft back in the 20's or 30's. It is supposed the be one of the greatest supernatural thrillers of all times.
