Fancy discovering some ancient horrors deep within Antarctica? The kinds of things that man was never meant to bear witness to? Well, if you do, then you’ll be pleased to know that the At the Mountains of Madness game, based on the HP Lovecraft story, which we last reported on back in January, has hit Steam Early Access.
By the looks of it, the game captures everything that made his writing get so deep under your skin, so be sure to give it a go.
And while the bland narration in the Early Access trailer is by no means top-notch voice-acting, the appearance of Cthulhu at the end more than makes up for it.
From The Press Release:
At the Mountains of Madness is an indie first-person horror adventure game with survival elements in which you assume the role of the Professor Dyer, geologist of the Miskatonic University, who in 1930 traveled to Antarctica as a leader of a research expedition. But in Antarctica disaster always lurks adventurers like a shadow. And in the most cold and desolate place on earth, it is easy to find death; or worse, you can find the Mountains of Madness.
“I am forced into speech because men of science have refused to follow my advice without knowing why,” H.P. Lovecraft.
Fight against the elements and explore ancient lands and Antarctic landscapes, find your way through dark caves, and unravel procedural mazes while trying to survive in a realtime 3D action adventure in search of undiscovered fossils and zones unexplored by man.
Pick and use well the items you carry on, such as food cans, wood logs, batteries, dynamite, strange things… You never know when you’ll need them!
Choose if you battle monsters or if you become another shadow in this sci-fi labyrinth of psychological horror.
