    Official pronunciation:

    It's uncomfortable to say and sounds like you've just been punched in the stomach if done correctly, which is the entire point of it, really.

    Lovecraft sketched the monster too, but fantasy artists have added He-Man muscles, recognizably "fantasy monster"/dragon-like tentacled faces, etc. to it over the years so that's it fit for consumption by retards.

    Doesn't matter if we lose, and I don't think we're getting something good out of it.
    Frogwares lacks taste, vision, experience and proper financing.
    Cyanide equipped better, but they are completely uninspired by this project.

    Funny, but I always thought that Cyanide needed bigger budget and more time for their projects to be recognized, but after watching their Cthulhu interviews I see now that they're working in a factory.
    They should go back to Cycling and Basketball managers.

    Glanced at the video from the livestream.

    Old skill list
    New skill list
    Strength
    Eloquence
    Investigation
    Medicine
    Spot Hidden
    Occultism
    Psychology

    Intimidation has been rolled into Strength, Folklore is gone or rolled into Occultism, Lockpicking and Forensic have been rolled into Investigation, Persuasion and Small Talk have rolled together into Eloquence, and Medicine is a new skill. Not too bad I guess.

    Why the investigator says "something queer" after accepting the case?
    It is weird
    STEPHEN: Investigate and save the honor of my daughter
    EDWARD: You are a faggot, worry about your honor

    It is nice that with zero points in occultism Edward seems quite clueless when he investigates weird symbols.

    Well, it might be green Thiaf not-darkness, but at least it's not WoW-colored.

    There is that, at least.

    The second minute and they're already saying that the you have been chosen.
    I also wonder if someone hasn't figured out yet that this mysterious hooded figure is the main character himself.

    Yeah, yeah, jokes asides, still waiting for Stygian: Reing of the old ones to eclipse this crap. Although I'd very much like to be proven wrong. Dark corners of the earth without shooting sounds pretty dope.
