Our take on Call of the Elder Gods
The store page gives substantial attention to Unreal Engine 5 visuals, unusual locations, and recognizable voice actors. The core activity is more specific: searching scenes for clues and solving object-based, multi-part puzzles within a fully voiced mystery.
What is Call of the Elder Gods?
This narrative puzzle adventure follows Professor Harry Everhart and student Evangeline Drayton as they investigate missing loved ones, recurring dreams, and an artifact connected to events from a decade earlier.
Players search richly rendered environments for clues and solve object- and observation-based puzzles, including multi-part challenges that span different times and spaces. Harry and Evangeline can be switched during these investigations. Adjustable options let players turn hints, icons, and journal entries on or off. The journey moves from New England libraries to the Australian outback, frozen regions, and cities outside ordinary time. The story is fully voice acted and focuses on grief, family, sanity, and encounters with incomprehensible beings.
