Treasure hunt in the jungle cursed by Cthulhu
What kind of game is that? The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is a co-op horror game in which you go on a treasure hunt in as a group of up to 4 players. Your search leads you deeper and deeper into a cursed jungle that is teeming with fearsome creatures.
The weapons and clothing of the figures are strongly reminiscent of the 15th century. So you fight yourself with muskete and crossbow, hatchet and machete through the jungle. The inspiration of the developers is already in the name-HP Lovecrafts Cthulhu myth.
The jungle not only a simple forest, but a dark, oppressive place that distorts your perception of reality. What looks like a monster at first glance could turn out to be one of your unfortunate comrades in the next moment you just missed a shot with the musket.
Players celebrate the idea, but there is a problem at the presentation
How are the first reactions? Under the trailer that was uploaded to the developer on the YouTube channel, the anticipation for the new game of the ACE team is already great.
There is also criticism, but it primarily affects the presentation in the trailer. For example, the artificially looking conversations in the gameplay segment would not have been needed. The psycho-horror aspect from the Cinematic also does not really come into its own in the gameplay shown.
However, the developers have already reacted to the concern that the finished game offers too little horror and too much action. The gameplay sections made it possible for the game to be more action-packed than it actually is. In the future, they want to prepare further material that the gameplay and its unique features show better.
