Cyanide Studio Walks Through Hour of ‘Call of Cthulhu’ Gameplay

Three weeks ago, we finally got a glimpse of the gameplay for Cyanide Studio’s adaptation of Call of Cthulhu. And now, thanks to the wonders of the internet (well, more like the devs allowing previews), we have a full hour of gameplay from the game.

Now, two things: One, this is the beta version of the game (from this past Gamescom, specifically), so things might not be final when the game finally releases on October 30th. Second, while it’s cool and all that we get this preview, we do get commentary by the devs, who are playing the game while answering questions from a chat, so those looking for a gameplay-audio only playthrough are out of luck. We also don’t get to see the questions that were asked, which is also a bummer.

Still, we do get some demonstrations of the gameplay mechanics, including those which Cyanide have been able to adapt from the board game. According to the devs, the main path will take you 12-15 hours to play through, but that’s not including all of the side quests. Then there are all of the choices you make that determine the ending, which are in turn affected by your sanity and phobias. It sounds like a lot of juggling, so hopefully come Halloween, it all comes together.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
