Call of the Elder Gods

I liked this a lot! American Arcadia is still my favorite from this dev team (loved the easter egg about that, too!) but this was a solid entry. Good music, great performances (Darin de Paul!!! Ah!) and with one exception, really fun and strong puzzles! I will say the final puzzle should have utilized the switch-between-characters function, as it was infuriating to keep climbing ladders and going up elevators, and why would Evie just be standing there?? Also uh, I do hope we all agree that being a Nazi is a lot worse than a "kook", right? Weird choice of words, Harry. I did also sort of giggle at the characters using the right accent for Spitzbergen, and our MC used the wrong pronunciation for her own hometown (it's more like "Benud" than the French, LOL). My final issue here is the story wasn't quite as strong as that first one, mainly that sometimes they'd be like, "What is this? It looks like that tower!" and you're like, it looks like the same scenery you literally just saw two seconds ago? It felt a bit jarring sometimes that they would express surprise over something they already talked about. Finally, the controller support was not the best, some of the puzzles trying to move between things (the Enigma machine, and the mind switching machine in particular) was super fiddly and could have benefited from the D-pad being mapped -- I probably could have done that myself, but just a note (we played this on the TV with a docked Steam Deck) This sounds nitpicky and it is, because those are the only things I could point out as I really liked this and would absolutely recommend it -- especially the thank you note in which the devs very bluntly speak out against the predatory gaming industry and their lack of care for anything but money. ROCK ON, HELL YEAH, I was already a huge fan of this dev team but that just cemented my fangirl status! I love games like this and really enjoyed this title, especially the ending, which was lovely. Great production, graphics, music, atmosphere, and I appreciate the time and effort and care that went into this, even if I had a few things that bugged me overall. Can't wait for the next one!

As I havent played Call of the Sea I thought: Oh nice a puzzle game with Cthulu mythos, gonna have dread and weird puzzles and madness. Instead I got a sappy story, the whole amount of dread the game had dissapeared in first chapter, and there was zero madness. Just great, for people who like such stories bout longing and etc, it should be game for you. But for people who bought it because of Lovecraftian tag you will be sorely disappointed.

Great sequel to Call of the Sea. Loved the puzzles, loved the story. I missed having a 'log' though compared to the first one, I liked filling it in and reading through it. But, I really enjoyed it overall and if they make another one I'll definitely play it.

Al enterarme que era un juego de mi tierra España le he querido dar una oportunidad. El ratito que llevo jugando me esta gustando a ver como sigue... Ya cuando me lo termine pondré que me ha parecido... Bien pues ya voy por algo más del la mitad del juego y al igual que el 1º me esta gustando mucho, es una joya , me gustan sus puzles, el uso de dos personajes para resolver y su apartado artístico .

Świetne zagadki, atmosfera i poczucie przeżywania przygody wraz z bohaterami. Taki trochę Indiana Jones w starym stylu. Wydaje mi się, że bawiłem się jeszcze lepiej niż z poprzednią częścią.

Yes good game but first part ( Call of the sea ) was way better.

Das ägyptische Mitgliederrätsel in Kapitel 3 ist völliger Schwachsinn. Es erschließt sich nicht, warum nicht der Fotograf die größte Person in der Gruppe sein soll, ebenso wer "Auriga" und wer "Corvus" ist. Selbst die von den Programmierern entworfene "Hilfe" geht großzügig über die einzelnen Lösungsschritte hinweg.
