More Inspiration -- Call of Cthulhu:

Call of Cthulhu is a is a Survival Horror Role-Playing Game set in the “Cthulhu Mythos”, that’ll released at the send of the month and a game I’m looking forward to play. The game features a semi-open world environment and incorporates themes of Lovecraftian and psychological horror into a story which includes elements of investigation and stealth. It is inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu", while also being an adaptation of the 1981 role-playing game of the same title which was made by Chaosium.

The game follows investigator and war veteran Edward Pierce, a private detective experiencing an existential crisis, who is hired by wealthy industrialist Stephen Webster to travel to Darkwater Island to investigate the death of his daughter, Sarah Hawkins, and her family in a fire. His investigations soon tell him that there is much more to the case than meets the eye, and that the locals of the island are hiding dark secrets from him. As he investigates, he will have to deal with horrors and dangers that threaten both his life and his sanity.

I'm hoping this game will give me some more inspiration in regards of game-mechanics and atmosphere for my Degree Project.
