Return to the ‘Chronicle of Innsmouth’ Adventure Game Series Later This Month With ‘Mountains of Madness’
We could always use more Lovecraft in our games, and we’ll definitely be getting more in the sequel to PsychoDev’s 2017 point-and-click adventure title Chronicle of Innsmouth with Mountains of Madness. The sequel is expected for release later this month, and it’s set 10 years before the original game. It’s based on Lovecraft’s novella, but also features references to his other works.
In the sequel, you play as private investigator Lone Carter, but you’ll also step into the boots of Abdul Alhazred, writer of the infamous Necronomicon, and even H.P. Lovecraft himself!
The story goes that Carter wakes to find himself on a beach near Innsmouth after having his body ripped apart. After struggling to get that last cigarette, he loses consciousness, only to wake up again completely fine. Obviously haunted by this dream, Carter needs to get away from Innsmouth and back to his hometown of Arkham. Unfortunately for him, trouble follows him back to Arkham with disappearances, a ritual murder and more that threatens his very sanity.
Like the first game, Mountains of Madness uses old-school pixel-based art and interface that’s reminiscent of classic Lucasarts adventure games (rendered in 640×480, no less!). As well, prepare to test your own sanity with an array of puzzles that you’ll need to solve in order to progress in the game.
“March 2021” isn’t exactly a definite date of release, so keep an eye on this one.
Props to 3rd Strike for the news.
Dead by Daylight fans have another Tome launch today in Tome 19: SPLENDOR, bringing with it a new content update, the game’s next Modifier, a new Tome packed with unlockable rewards, and a major update to the in-game store. Accompanying the update will be several Outfit Collections, which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks.
After giving fans a taste of what’s to come with the time-limited Lights Out Modifier, Behaviour Interactive has introduced a new one with Chaos Shuffle, offering a completely different challenge. In the Chaos Shuffle Modifier, players will be jumping into Trials with randomly selected Perks from all of Dead by Daylight’s available Perks. However, instead of relying on tactics they’ve grown accustomed to, players will now have to contend and strategize with the Perks they’re dealt at the beginning of the match. Chaos Shuffle will be out soon.
Along with the new Modifier is the new Event Tome with SPLENDOR, packed with new challenges, memories, and classy rewards to Dead by Daylight, inspired by all things gold and silk. Players will unlock memories that offer a glimpse into The Artist and Zarina Kassir’s past, with new outfits for The Trickster, Nea Karlsson, Mikaela Reid, The Skull Merchant, and many more characters across the Free and Premium Tracks. Players who purchase the Rift Pass instantly unlock a gold-adorned Outfit for The Trapper, and those who complete the track are rewarded with a brutal Ultra Rare Outfit for The Doctor.
As for the in-game store, with over 30 Chapters packed with content and outfits for our numerous Survivors and Killers, the in-game store has been given a complete visual overhaul. The new interface allow players to easily find items that are on sale, cosmetics from a specific collection, as well as purchase bundles that contain multiple items at a discounted price.
Finally, there are the new Outfit Collections that are coming to Dead by Daylight in the coming weeks.
- The Forgotten Myth Collection brings a horrifying Visceral Legendary Outfit for The Huntress, complete with its own unique Mori.
- Metamorphosis manifests in different ways. The returning Chrysalis Collection reimagines both Killer and Survivor with butterfly or moth-inspired looks.
- The return of the Visions of the Future Collection offers new futuristic looks for several Survivors.
- A new addition to the Nicolas Cage Essentials Collection proves the actor needs no stylist to look cool.
- The Forgotten Garden Collection spreads botanical brutality to two Killers.
- The Cats & Dogs Collection brings more cozy sweaters to the game inspired by our furry friends.
Dead by Daylight is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
