DID HE JUST BEAT CTHULHU? | Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet (1993 MS-DOS), developed and published by Infogrames, the same company that released Alone in the Dark in 1992, and is in fact a companion piece to that game. Day 3 played on PC during a previous Twitch stream. I have played this point-and-click adventure game a couple years ago, but I've forgotten a lot of it, and now it's virtually a blind playthrough again. At some point I had to start using a gamefaqs walkthrough because the game is very cryptic with a number of moon logic puzzles. It's also somewhat difficult to control, because the character only moves if you hold down the mouse button in the direction you want him to go or you use the keyboard arrow keys, and the look, pick up, talk interface isn't particularly clear. Items are used by clicking on them in your inventory and walking to the correct spot where they're used automatically. This is day 3 of Parker's adventure in Illsmouth, where he confronts Narackamous and defeats the Great Old Ones on the nearby island around Illsmouth. This game also features a lot of unauthorized celebrity cameos from actors like Vincent Price, Dennis Quaid, Melanie Griffith, Jack Nichsolson, Robert Mitchum, among others. shadow of the comet deaths, shadow of the comet longplay, shadow of the comet game, let's play shadow of the comet, let's play call of cthulhu shadow of the comet, shadow of the comet intro, shadow of the comet walkthrough, call of cthulhu shadow of the comet gameplay, survival horror game pc, retro gaming, retro gaming pc, retro pc games 90s, adventure games, adventure games for pc, classic survival horror games, horror games, horror games gameplay, horror games funny moments,

Shadow of the Comet (later repackaged as Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet) is an adventure game developed and released by Infogrames in 1993. The game is based on H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos and uses many elements from Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror and The Shadow Over Innsmouth. A follow-up game, Prisoner of Ice, was released in 1995 and does not directly follow the events of this game.

Shadow of the Comet: The Official Strategy Guide (Prima Publishing, 1994; re-released by the author, 2019) was written by Steve Schwartz. In addition to a game walkthrough, all game dialog, and a disk of saved games, the book includes the Lovecraft story The Call of Cthulhu.

The player can control the protagonist Parker via the arrow keys. When Parker comes across something he can interact with, a button press will allow the player to do so. Items that Parker can take will project a white line from Parker's eye to the item, indicating that when the player interacts with the item, it will be added to Parker's inventory. Apart from this the game plays like a standard third-person adventure game.

The game takes place in 1910, and concerns the visit of a young British photographer, John Parker, to the isolated New England town of Illsmouth (an alteration on Lovecraft's Innsmouth) to witness and photograph the passage of Halley's Comet. In 1834, on the last passing, Lord Boleskine visited the town after learning that certain conditions near the town would allow astronomical objects to be seen clearer and closer than on any other spot on earth. He decided to test this theory by observing the comet from Illsmouth, but something unexpected happened and he went insane, spending the rest of his life in a lunatic asylum. Parker, learning of the 1834 incident and reading over Boleskine's papers, wishes to succeed where his predecessor failed. When he arrives, Parker stumbles upon a sinister conspiracy and must survive the three days between his arrival and the comet's passage while finding out what happened in 1834.
