About

Dear Prof. Everhart,

I’m very sorry to bother you again, but I don’t know where else to go. I recognize the item you have—I’ve been dreaming about it for months. I’ve experienced strange and unexplainable things, and if this item is genuine, I’m afraid those things might be connected. I need to meet with you as soon as possible; I’m running out of time.

Yours,

Evangeline Drayton

Things are unsettling at Miskatonic University. Professor Harry Everhart is disturbed by strange shadows he keeps seeing, and student Evangeline Drayton is plagued by bizarre dreams about an artifact discovered ten years earlier. As they investigate, they’ll stumble upon truths far older than history itself.

Explore the remote reaches of the world and uncover terrifying secrets in this puzzle adventure inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. It’s a sequel to the award-winning game Call of the Sea from 2020.

Key Features

  • Shocking Secrets – Call of the Sea’s object and observation-based puzzles return with new depth. Scour richly-rendered environments for clues. Swap between Harry and Evangeline to solve complex, multi-part problems across time and space. Choose your own difficulty level with toggle-able hints, icons, and journal entries. For a true challenge, dare to read the Occult Books scattered about the world and meet new, reality-warping enigmas.
  • Dizzying Marvels – Harry and Evangeline’s journey takes them from the firelit libraries of a New England mansion to the red sands of the Australian outback, through frozen wastelands and otherworldly cities out of time, all stunningly rendered in Unreal Engine 5 and featuring a soundtrack by multi-award-winning returning composer Eduardo De La Iglesia.
  • A Shadow Out of Time – Follow Harry Everhart and Evangeline Drayton as they search for the truth about their missing loved ones and come face-to-face with beings beyond their understanding. Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s The Shadow out of Time, Call of the Elder Gods features a fully voice-acted story of grief, family, and sanity, starring returning talents Yuri Lowenthal (Marvel’s Spider-Man, Arcane, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth) and Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Starfield, Baldur’s Gate III).
