Currently Playing: Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth | Brilliance & Jank

Dark Corners of the Earth is one of the more interesting (if janky) horror titles out there. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is a fascinating game. It's memorable, atmospheric, and immersive, with a distinct gameplay style. Yet there is plenty of jank within Dark Corners of the Earth, ebbs and flows in quality, and a game pulling itself in many directions. An end result of a long, difficult development that reduced its ambitious scope. • Support the channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/boulderpunch • Or Become a YouTube Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUe2AK0iirPfXcDkYu5dWow/join Get access to videos early, receive a weekly update, and be featured in the credits.

Few games scratch an itch that Dark Corners does. Dark Corners of the Earth uses the works of HP Lovecraft. It takes elements of "The Shadow over Innsmouth" and some of his other works. The game also uses the Call of Cthulhu TT RPG, pulling from the campaign "escape from Innsmouth". Dark Corners of the Earth is the last hoorah of the sixth generation of gaming. The last stretch before budgets and team sizes blew up. Where publishers took fewer risks. This is too bad because we need more games like Dark Corners of the Earth. Let's take a look at why.
