Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet and Prisoner of Ice are making their digital debut on Good Old Games (GOG.com).
Both games are set in the Call of Cthulhu mythos, but tell very different stories. Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, Shadow of the Comet and Prisoner of Ice are 2D adventure games that capture the atmosphere of some of H.P. Lovecraft’s horror stories like “At the Mountains of Madness,” “The Dunwich Horror,” “The Shadow Over Innsmouth,” and, of course, “The Call of Cthulhu.”
Here are their official descriptions:
Shadow of the Comet is the tale of a young British photographer out to capture a one-of-a-kind comet passing over an isolated New England town of Illsmouth. He discovers that the last person to attempt this spent the rest of his life in a high-security lunatic asylum. Soon, he’ll also discover why…
In Prisoner of Ice an indirect sequel to Shadow of the Comet, you’re just another officer aboard the HMS Victoria – a military sub returning from a simple extraction operation. Just another run of the mill job, the target is safe and you’re counting down the time till your shore leave. Little do you know, it’s also a matter of time until you look straight into the eye of an ancient evil aboard.
