Call of Cthulhu
Call of Cthulhu is a horror fiction role-playing game based on H. P. Lovecraft's story of the same name and the associated Cthulhu Mythos. The game, often abbreviated as CoC, is published by Chaosium; it was first released in 1981 and is in its seventh edition, with various sub-systems in different eras and settings such as Cthulhu Gaslight, Cthulhu Dark, Down Darker Trails, and Pulp Cthulhu. Its game system is based on Chaosium's Basic Role-Playing (BRP) with additions for the horror genre.
In Call of Cthulhu, you take on the role of everyday people who become investigators of the unknown - whether they are prepared or not. The mysterious places, people, and situations you encounter are often not what they seem - you and your friends are the only things standing in the way of diabolical cults and cosmic monsters from beyond space.
Throughout the play, your investigator improves their skills based on the choices you make - but beware - encountering the strange horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos can leave its marks and scars. Be it tomes of forbidden lore, unnatural spells of power, or alien entities - all such things will test an investigator’s mind and body.
Investigators are heroes who stand against insurmountable odds and, perhaps, save the world as we know it.
