Evaluation

Call of the Elder Gods, the Lovecraftian narrative puzzle adventure sequel to 2020's Call of the Sea, launched on May 12, 2026. The two DLC items listed on the store — the official soundtrack and art book — both released alongside the game on launch day as part of a Deluxe Edition Bundle, and no additional DLC has been announced or listed. The developer has been actively supporting the game post-launch, issuing a patch on June 9, 2026 that addressed a range of visual and input issues and added a highly requested custom keybinds feature. There are no developer statements about future story content, expansions, or additional gameplay updates, nor are there any unreleased DLC entries on the store. Given that the game only launched 38 days ago, there simply hasn't been enough time to establish whether additional content is planned — the developer has been focused on bug fixes and polish so far. The game is best understood as a complete, self-contained narrative experience at this stage, but it is too soon to say with certainty that no further content will follow.

About this game

All is not well at Miskatonic University. Professor Harry Everhart tries to ignore the shadows flitting at the corners of his vision, while student Evangeline Drayton is haunted with impossible dreams of an artifact uncovered a decade ago. In their search for answers, the pair will uncover revelations more ancient than anyone could have imagined.

Shocking Secrets

Call of the Sea’s object and observation-based puzzles return with new depth. Scour richly-rendered environments for clues. Swap between Harry and Evangeline to solve complex, multi-part problems across time and space. Choose your own difficulty level with toggle-able hints, icons, and journal entries

Dizzying Marvels

Harry and Evangeline’s journey takes them from the firelit libraries of a New England mansion to the red sands of the Australian outback, through frozen wastelands and otherworldly cities out of time, all stunningly rendered in Unreal Engine 5 and featuring a soundtrack by multi-award-winning returning composer Eduardo De La Iglesia.

A Shadow Out of Time

Follow Harry Everhart and Evangeline Drayton as they search for the truth about their missing loved ones and come face-to-face with beings beyond their understanding. Inspired by H P Lovecraft's 'The Shadow out of Time', Call of the Elder Gods features a fully voice-acted story of grief, family, and sanity, starring returning talents Yuri Lowenthal (Spider-Man, Arcane, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth) and Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Starfield, Baldur’s Gate III).
