Il detective privato Lone Carter si risveglia su una spiaggia di Innsmouth dopo un fatale scontro con uno Shoggoth: il corpo è integro, ma la mente è tormentata da incubi di orrori cosmici. Questa avventura grafica point-and-click lovecraftiana ti trascina in un'indagine che si snoda tra Innsmouth, Arkham, il Polo Sud e l'antico Yemen. Interpreta Carter, il folle arabo Abdul Alhazred e persino H.P. Lovecraft in persona per svelare sparizioni, omicidi rituali e complotti che attraversano le epoche.
Enigmi astuti richiedono un'acuta capacità di deduzione, tra interazioni con personaggi originali e ispirati a Lovecraft. Lo stile artistico rétro richiama i classici LucasArts di inizio anni '90, in risoluzione 640x360, con una colonna sonora originale inquietante. I fan delle avventure point-and-click impegnative, ricche di horror cosmico maturo, vedranno nervi e sanità mentale messi a dura prova.
Chronicle of Innsmouth: Mountains of Madness is a Lovecraftian point’n’click graphic adventure. Drawing inspiration, places and characters from specific stories by H.P. Lovecraft such as The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The Mountains of Madness, this detective story sets you in the thrilling investigation of a horrifying mystery that will take you to iconic places like Innsmouth, Arkham and the South Pole. You play as the private investigator Lone Carter – but prepare to find yourself in the boots of the Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred, writer of the dreaded Necronomicon, and of H.P. Lovecraft himself…
Private Investigator Lone Carter regains consciousness to find himself lying on a beach near Innsmouth. His body has been ripped apart. He tries to pull his last cigarette from the pack, but his arm fails to obey. As he fades away into death, terror growing in his eyes, he remembers in dreadful glimpses his fatal encounter with the Shoggoth…
An endless period of darkness ensues.
Then, some fire burning within awakens him, and he returns, completely recovered and unharmed – but he would never be the same. He is haunted by terrible visions, nightmares hinting at ineffable, horrifying truths. He needs to get back home, to understand what happened to him – but escaping from Innsmouth will only be the first step in his journey. In his hometown of Arkham, a mystery awaits for him. A disappearance. A ritual murder. A plot that intertwines different characters, different places, even different eras. An adventure that will test your wits and drag you to the very limits of your sanity… and perhaps beyond.
Mountains of Madness is a new adventure game in the Chronicle of Innsmouth franchise. Set 10 years before the first chapter of this saga, these events will influence the events to come.
