Make no mistakes, despite being set in a universe based on the Lovecraftian lore, Call of the Sea is not a horror game by any means. Trying to piece together what happened and where has everybody disappeared, you will make your way to the heart of the island, by solving several, increasingly difficult puzzles. You will not encounter any other sentient being, only clues about what they were up to. Nora is the sole character of the game, a lone adventurer in a place full of secrets. Trying to find the one person she cannot live without, Nora will actually find out the truth about herself. Arriving in the tropical paradise, she will retrace the steps of the archaeological expedition. When the precious letters documenting his journey come to an abrupt halt, Nora sets out to find his husband. Harry turns to old legends and tales and ends up organizing an expedition to a mysterious island. Plagued by a mysterious illness, Nora’s fate seems to be sealed since western medicine can provide no cure. Nora, the protagonist, sets out to find her husband Harry but ends up deciding her own fate. The first game developed by Out of the Blue holds a lot of promise, and despite some issues with the overall experience, I have to say it did not disappoint.īeyond the beautiful visuals and enticing setting, Call of the Sea is a story of self-discovery. Since the very first trailer released from Call of the Sea I was fascinated by the idea of having a colorful adventure game set in the world of Cthulhu. In the last few years, Raw Fury managed to become one of the most visible indie publishers, launching pretty successful games such as Star Renegades or West of Dead.
Read on to find out what kind of experience Call of the Sea turned out to be. Raw Fury proposes a new setting for the classical horror universe, one that is overflowing with color and optimism, where the peril is just an ugly nightmare at the very edge of a beautiful dream. When you think about books, movies, or games related to Cthulhu you imagine doom and gloom, a silent and unescapable desperation, anything but a tropical paradise.
