It's pretty good if not extraordinary adventure game, gameplay is minimal , but they really captured the lovecraftian atmosphere for sure.

I wonder what caused such interest in CoC as a property after largely being ignored for so long. FHI is a publisher, though. This will really depend on who gets to develop the games.

Maybe the popularity of the board games? There's certainly overlap with people who play more hardcore board games and video games.

I hope Othercide won't turn out too bad. It certainly looks stylish enough for a TBS.
