Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet

Story

The year is 1910, and the small fishing port of Illsmouth is a sleepy New England town where time seems to stand still, basking in the pale spring sunshine. But appearances can be deceiving, .... Beneath the peaceful tranquility of the small village lies a cruel truth. Whispers in a dusty, secluded library are tinged with fear as questions from the past are brought into the present. Is there a connection between the return of Halley's Comet and the reappearance of the Great Old Ones who once ruled the land with a reign of terror? Legend tells of an ancient ritual site hidden deep in the shadows of the tangled forest, marked by an ornate and mysterious cross. Once, long ago, this place was the scene of wild and terrible rituals, about which no one dared to speak, lest they incur the wrath of the ancients. Why are the inhabitants of Illsmouth haunted by such shocking horror? Why are they drawn to the ancient ritual places after so many years? What has released this curse from its deep slumber to ravage the souls of innocent people? You take on the role of John T. Carter, a brilliant young astronomer who pieces together the mysterious history of the village and its cryptic inhabitants. Incredibly realistic action and supernatural mayhem intertwine, drawing players deep into the mysterious secrets in the shadow of the comet.
