Â Back when the GameCube was released, Nintendo tried to fool us that they were cool and edgy and down with the kids. How? They made a deal with Capcom which saw the entire main Resident Evil series ported to the â€˜cube, along with an exclusive (at the time) remake of the original and a prequel. Â

So, yup. Nintendo-exclusive horror games are, occasionally, a thing. The more discerning Ego-gamers among you might also remember Eternal Darkness. If you do, we are now BFFs. High five, brother. This Lovecraftian â€˜cube only adventure was a journey through time to stop the dastardly and bastardly machinations of the â€˜eternals,â€™ big olâ€™ squelchy demon things from the depths of Tim Burtonâ€™s nightmares.

Anywho, Iâ€™m telling you all this because Iâ€™m getting some serious freaking Eternal Darkness vibes from this one. Feast your ogling eyes on these first screens of Call of Cthulu, Cyanideâ€™s upcoming horror hitting PC and consoles next year.

These screens, and a quick slice of plot from Game Informer (â€˜you take the role of a private investigator from 1920s Boston named Edward Pierce. You investigate an artist and their family's death on a secluded island, by exploring areas such as sinister docks and the family's manor,â€™ holy hell it reeks of Eternal Darkness in here), are all we have to go on so far. Still, we can hope that a return to the kind of creeping, psychological horror the genre sorely needs is on the cards.
