Big Bad Wolf Studio and Nacon, which recently filed for bankruptcy (as we previously reported), have provided a brief insight into the story.

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is set in 2053. Players embody Noah, an agent who specializes in occult affairs. He is sent to the depths of the Pacific Ocean to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Ocean-I researchers. The new trailer reveals more about the research conducted worldwide by Ocean-I, with its heavy atmosphere. A major discovery has led a team of scientists to the gates of the mythical city of R’lyeh.

When they fail to report back, Noah sets out in pursuit of them and Andrew Marsh, the CEO of Ocean-I. As Noah progresses through the city’s winding paths, the line between nightmare and reality blurs under the influence of the most powerful cosmic creature: Cthulhu. Between loss of sanity, ancient rituals, and cosmic monsters, this quest for truth comes at a price.

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is an investigation on a razor’s edge where Noah must stay lucid and think outside the box. Solving the puzzles in each chapter requires making significant choices and leads players deeper into the Lovecraftian mythos.
