Big Bad Wolf Studio and Nacon are working on an adventure game set almost three decades in the future.

2053. Across the globe, the occult threat is growing more blatant, and strange, inexplicable events are multiplying. As Earth’s surface resources dwindle, powerful corporations turn to the uncharted depths of the oceans, unaware of the ancient horrors they are about to unleash. In this tense, Lovecraftian thriller, you play Noah, tasked with investigating the mysterious disappearance of miners in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. With the help of your AI companion, Key, explore the vast, labyrinthine prison of R’lyeh – an ancient, sunken city of Cyclopean proportions – and resist the creeping madness caused by Cthulhu’s influence. At its heart lies a secret that could shatter your understanding of reality. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss features stunning environments that defy the laws of physics and push the boundaries of immersive storytelling to new heights.

Confront nightmares and cosmic abominations that will push your sanity to the limit. Journey through a futuristic reimagining of Lovecraft’s mythos and uncover the legendary sunken city of R’lyeh. But beware: the deeper you descend, the more your mind will succumb to Cthulhu’s relentless influence. Delve into the darkness with Key, your AI companion. Follow clues, collect scattered clues, and hone your detective skills to solve immersive and complex puzzles. Uncover hidden truths and look beyond appearances to choose your path to solving the case. Each mystery offers branching paths and secret passages waiting to be discovered.

As an agent of Ancile, a secret division of Interpol specializing in occult affairs, you will be thrust into a gripping story with complex characters brought to life through cinematic storytelling. Immerse yourself in a first-person investigative horror adventure with a rich, branching narrative where your choices and understanding will shape Noah’s fate in this nightmarish world.

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss will be available sometime next year for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC.
