We’re quite impressed by how confident The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu seems to be in the run-up to its July 15 release. The latest trailer about the island and its dangers might not bring much we don’t already know to the table. However, it’s still an impressive look at how this place fundamentally changes those who set foot on it after a short foray into its ominous jungles.
Indeed, you could become your own worst enemy, and a credible threat to your allies if the forces you’re up against manage to pervade your mind, and trusting even yourself becomes a costly mistake your squad might not recover from. That’s as horror-focused a premise as any, and we’re expecting this one to be a morbid kind of hoot when it drops on current-gen systems. Excellent enemy designs and an appropriately creepy vibe have us interested, but be sure to keep a light on when experiencing them.
For more details on what the island has to offer, check out this gameplay overview. We’re kind of dreading that release date a little more than we’d like to admit, but in terms of co-op shenanigans, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu could fill a decent space ahead of this Fall’s biggest releases.
