Description

The first casualty of war is not truth, but sanity.

Based on the award winning Call of Cthulhu RPG, this turn-based strategy/role-playing game is set in the midst of World War One and pits a team of investigators and soldiers against an ancient evil. This enemy, older than humanity itself, is using the carnage of the great war to build a reanimated army deep beneath the bloody battlefields of Europe.

"Many men have related hideous things... which happened on the battlefields of the Great War. Some of these things have made me faint, others have convulsed me with devastating nausea, while still others have made me tremble and look behind me in the dark..." H.P.Lovecraft 'Herbert West: Reanimator'

Call of Cthulhu was originally the title of a novella by cult American horror writer H.P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) which has, since it was published in 1928, captured the imagination of generation after generation of fans. Lovecraft’s works also inspired an award winning role-playing game, Call of Cthulhu. It is this classic pen'n'paper RPG combined with inspiration from Lovecraft's fiction including the classic WW1 set 'Herbert West: Reanimator' that together forms the basis for ‘Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land’. From this basis we've then layered in tactical gameplay, multiple characters, skills, authentic period weapons and equipment, sanity system and other features such as magic, poison gas and artillery.

As with Elder Sign: Omen, I wonder if this will happen as long as only the top 20 games gets geenlighted every 14 days and they get new games al the time.

What about linux support?

I agree the animiation does look a little off but if the game machanics and play are good I can look past it.
For example there's the game "Don't Starve" Not the best graphics but the game is super challanging while still fun.
I'm not sure how long it might take to get this up and going if it gets greenlit, hopefully not too long since it already exists as a game elsewhere in some form or another but if a bit longer meant some nice improvements I would be okay with that.
