‘Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth’ Gets New Life on GOG.com
We’ve mentioned many times before how Lovecraft is an awesome source for videogames. Games like Zeotrope Interactive’s Conarium and Lunar Cult Studios’ Lust For Darkness rely heavily on the Cthulhu mythos. And of course, there are games like Headfirst Productions and Bethesda’s 2005 survival horror FPS Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, which has recently been re-released for PC courtesy of GOG.com.
The game, which was well received by most critics, failed to make an impression with gamers when it was released, and subsequent sequels planned by Headfirst were canned. Nonetheless, the game is still very much worthwhile to check out today. While the game is already available on Steam, as is often the case with older games, there are compatibility issues with modern hardware. However, GOG have gone through the code and fixed things up to allow for modern PCs to run it properly, so no worries there.
As an added bonus, when you buy the game from GOG.com, you also get two of Bethesda’s classic RPGs, The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls Chapter II: Daggerfall, for free! Get in on it now.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
