[ . . . ]Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth -- Survival horror is more of a theme indicator than an actual genre.  A given game under the mantle of survival horror can be anything from a simple point-and-click adventure (Clock Tower) to an RPG (Sweet Home).  But no game seems to cross more genres than this game does.  It is everything from cinematic storytelling, to first-person shooting, to stealth, to a puzzle-based adventure.  And if you love Lovecraft-themed stories as I do, this one is the icing on the cake.  Let's just put it this way, it is extremely rare that a fan of Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos is ever treated as well as this game manages to.  Just be sure to remember that this one requires the energy and the patience.  It is by no means an easy game.
[ . . .][/QUOTE]Yeah.  With the exception of Lovecraft's own writing, I don't think anything gets the atmosphere so right as Dark Corners.
