Call of the Elder Gods news

Lovecraft gets the Indiana Jones treatment in Call of the Elder Gods, but is something missing in this Call of the Sea sequel?

For all its rip-roaring Indiana Jones adventure, its ancient civilisations, and pulpy supernatural peril, Call of the Elder Gods' true heart is perhaps its tatty leather-bound journal. That won't be a surprise to anyone that's played Call of the Sea, its well-received predecessor, but it's gratifying to see that - for all this follow-up's bigger, bolder ambitions - the original's first-person narrative adventure charms and smart, deductive spirit remains.
