Call of Cthulhu: The Darkness Within coming to iPhone
"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn..." but not for long. A company called Digital Jokers, in conjunction with a subsidary called Mayhem Studios, is bringing HP Lovecraft's cuddly, horrible, insanity-inspiring Great Old One to the iPhone in the form of a graphical adventure game called Call of Cthulhu: The Darkness Within. It looks like fun, although if the laughable trailer is any indication, they'll need to do some spell checking and additional translation before the game actually goes live.Still, Cthulhu fans will slog through some pretty bad software if it means there's a good Lovecraftian story in the mix. We'll keep an eye on this one -- graphical horror-based adventure on the iPhone done well could make for a good (or should we say evil?) time.[via Macworld]
Lovecraft-inspired PC horror adventure unveiled
Zoetrope Interactive today announced a Lovecraft-inspired horror game in development for the PC: Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder. You take the role of police detective Howard E. Loreid (which is an anagram for "Stock Character") attempting to solve the murder of rich guy Clark Field who, as luck would have it, has had dabblings with the occult. According to Zoetrope, Darkness Within lets players explore the "eerie and disturbing corner[s] of the human psyche". If you met some of the people we know, that's a terrifying prospect indeed. Look for Darkness Within later this year. In the meantime, stare at the gallery below to get the spookiness flowing.[Via CVG]%Gallery-3525%
