About
Dear Prof. Everhart,
It brings me no joy to write you again but I’m afraid I have nowhere else to turn. I recognize the artifact in your possession. I have dreamed about it every night for months. I have seen impossible, unexplainable things, but if the artifact is real then I fear they may be too. I must meet with you at once. I am running out of options.
Yours,
Evangeline DraytonAll is not well at Miskatonic University. Professor Harry Everhart tries to ignore the shadows flitting at the corners of his vision, while student Evangeline Drayton is haunted with impossible dreams of an artifact uncovered a decade ago. In their search for answers, the pair will uncover revelations more ancient than anyone could have imagined.
Journey to the far corners of the Earth and unearth ancient horrors in this Lovecraftian narrative puzzle adventure and sequel to 2020’s critically acclaimed Call of the Sea.
