Call of Cthulhu is a computer game from the third person in the genre of RPG / Survival horror.

The protagonist is detective Edward Pierce, who arrived on a remote whaling island to investigate the death of the Hawkins family. The mystical plot of the game is based on the fictional universe of the writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft ("Myths of Cthulhu"). The main focus of the game is on the exploration of locations and the development of the hero.

Edward Pierce has 7 basic skills, 5 of which can be developed with experience points. At the same time, the number of experience points is limited. It is possible to slightly improve all skills, or only a few skills to a high level. The method of passing the game depends on the chosen strategy of character development.
