GREAT CTHULHU AWAKES TODAY

It happened. Great Cthulhu is awake now. Ominous stars stirred Him in His sleep in sunken R’lyeh, and he has arisen from his watery grave. He will summon the rest of the Great Old Ones, and together they will claim back the throne that was once theirs as monarchs of the Earth. All hope is lost for mankind…

Unless you can do something to stop them.

LLC Blini Games is disturbed to announce that after a successful period of 6 months in Early Access, Lovecraft’s Untold Stories releases today on Steam for €14.99 / $14.99 / £11.39 in English, Russian, and Spanish; other languages will be added in the near future. Besides, the Chinese version published by Surefire Games can be found here. Madness and death await for those who dare to challenge the Great Old Ones — but maybe you can delay the inevitable…

Follow the path of five different characters (the Detective, the Professor, the Ghoul, the Thief, and the Witch) in their adventures against the Great Old Ones, their minions, and their worshippers. Explore their different storylines inspired by Lovecraft’s stories that cross randomly generated levels such as the hospital, the jungle or the port city, and look for the clues you need to face terrible foes like Dagon, Shub-Niggurath, Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, and Great Cthulhu.

I've been an avid gamer since I stumbled upon ZORK running in my local Radio Shack in 1980. Ten years later I was working for Sierra Online. Since then I've owned nearly every game system and most of the games to go with them. Not sure if 40+ years of gaming qualifies me to write reviews, but I do it anyway.
