Goofs

The game is set in 1922, but features the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI was not under that name (at the time of the game it would still be called the Bureau of Investigation), and did not use the seal featured in the game until 1935.

User Reviews

A must buy for Lovecraft fans and others

But before we get into the content of the game itself, let me say that this game has the most unique gameplay of any recent FPS and could even be classified as a revolution. People who are not into Lovecraft may find the story and ending a bit strange since this title only covers a small portion of the Cthulu world but people who have already read Lovecraft's works may be familiar with the story. There has been no game with such high production values for a long time. The major weakness of this game is in the nonexistent lip syncing, which could have been much better given the amount of dialog in the game and its very difficult to make out what people are daying without reading the subtitles. There are also plenty of bugs in this game which affect gameplay often.
