Publisher Nacon and developer Big Bad Wolf Studio have released the story trailer for Lovecraftian adventure game Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. Digital pre-orders are also now available.
Here are the latest details, via Nacon:
Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss takes place in 2053. The player embodies Noah, an agent specializing in occult affairs. Our protagonist is sent to the depths of the Pacific Ocean to investigate the mysterious disappearance of researchers belonging to the Ocean-I company.
Today’s new trailer, with its heavy atmosphere, reveals more about the research conducted worldwide by Ocean-I. A major discovery has led a team of scientists to the gates of the mythical city of R’lyeh.
With no news from them, Noah sets out on their trail and that of Andrew Marsh, CEO of Ocean-I. As he progresses through the city’s winding paths, the line between nightmare and reality blurs under the influence of the most powerful of cosmic creatures: Cthulhu. Between loss of sanity, ancient rituals, and cosmic monsters, this quest for truth comes at a price.
Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss offers an investigation on a razor’s edge, where Noah must maintain his lucidity while thinking outside the box. Solving the puzzles in each chapter involves making important choices and leads players to dive ever deeper into the Lovecraftian mythos.
Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on April 16.
