![]() She breathes life into Norah in her own way, and by doing that becomes an unmissable companion in Norah’s quest for her spouse. Cissy Jones is no stranger to iconic roles in computer games, having lent her voice to games as diverse as Firewatch, World of Warcraft, Walking Dead, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and Death Stranding. But equally important is the sound, the score, and especially the voice casting. The graphics are fantastic and colourful and make it a joy to play. Colours Out Of This SpaceĪs you might have guessed from the descriptions in the previous paragraph, the game really is beautiful. ![]() She, and through her the player, will have to solve a ton of intriguing puzzles to move closer to the heart of the island. But this island isn’t without danger, as Norah finds out as she discovers more information on what happened to her husband’s expedition. In fact, being on the island seems to make her feel so much better and forget her illness, if it wasn’t for the strange blots on her skin. She can run, climb, jump, and swim as good as Doctor Jones himself. Norah isn’t some damsel in distress, though. Except we now have a female dilettante in the lead, and one that fits the general archetypes of the Cthulhu Mythos stories very well. In fact, it has that same spirit of discovery and exploration that the Indiana Jones films have. The island is really beautiful and being there feels like walking in a 1930’s pulp novel or movie, the kind of Saturday morning matinee entertainment that inspired George Lucas to create Indiana Jones. It was done in a way that is satisfying for both fans of the Cthulhu Mythos and people who are completely new to it. Call of the Sea doesn’t hide this inspiration, nor does it throw it in your face. It manages to strike a balance between the utter beauty of the tropical location, and the unknown horrors residing in that paradise. The game is incredibly atmospheric and moody, despite taking place on a sun-soaked island in the Pacific. Lovecraft himself was a truly terrible human being, but his fevered imagination gave us a Mythos that is incredibly interesting, and Call of the Sea makes good use of that. The first thing I noticed was that Call of the Sea has a very Lovecraftian mood to it, and that immediately attracted me to the game. She needs to find out what happened to Harry and his crew, if he found a cure, and what the ties are that this island has to her own past. This is where his expedition disappeared, and this is where Norah’s quest begins. ![]() His quest for the cure led him to a mysterious island in the South Pacific, an island not even the natives dare to visit. You play Norah, a woman “on the trail of her missing husband’s expedition.” Norah is suffering from a mysterious illness and her husband Harry was adamant to find a cure to save his wife. It is in this turbulent year that Call of the Sea takes place.Ĭall of the Sea is the latest release by Raw Fury and is developed by Out Of The Blue. It was an era of exploration, of invention, of strife, and of enigmas. There was still plenty of mystery on our own planet and many things were still unexplained. The world wasn’t at war yet when Hitler declared himself Fuhrer of Germany. ![]() The great dust bowl storm sweeps across the US.
