Inspired by The Shadow Out of Time by H.P. Lovecraft, players will control Professor Harry Everhart and his student Evangeline Drayton, who discovered a strange artifact several years prior. As with anything Eldritch-related, it’s had a terrible effect on their sleep cycles, and thus, they venture forth to find some peace of mind.

Much like Call of the Sea, you’ll explore environments and search for clues while solving puzzles, whether it’s in New England, the Australian outback or “otherworldly cities out of time.” You’ll have to switch between both characters at times, and various Occult Books offer “new reality-warping enigmas” to challenge you.

Of course, you can also soften the difficulty by enabling hints and icons. Best of all, the adventure is carried by the talents of Yuri Lowenthal and Cissy Jones, who voice Everhart and Drayton, respectively. Stay tuned for more updates, and in the meantime, check out our review for Call of the Sea.

The story revolves around Professor Harry Everhart (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal) and his student, Evangeline Drayton (Cissy Jones), who face hallucinations and nightmares after discovering an artifact several years prior. If that weren’t enough, their loved ones have gone missing. Thus, the duo embark on a globe-trotting adventure, from New England to the Australian outback and more, to find out what’s going on.

Of course, as implied by the title, powerful Eldritch beings are involved and may not let them leave with their sanity intact. Developed on Unreal Engine 5, Call of the Elder Gods challenges players to hunt for clues and solve puzzles, engage in “reality-warping enigmas” with Occult Books, and more. Stay tuned for updates, including a release date, in the coming months.
