Under the Mountains of Madness
While mainstream movies don’t generally make use H.P. Lovecraft's mythos, the computer games have been illustrating its madness since the 90s. The writer himself regarded his stories as open source material already back at his days, so Conarium has taken its job to write a slight sequel to the 1931 novel At the Mountains of Madness. Main protagonist Frank Gilman from Miskatonic University wakes up from the Upuaut antarctic base without any previous recollection. Head hurts, and gibbous artifact of the unknown sort casts strange lights to the vacant room. Comprehension soon follows, something has gone amiss. What hideous secret lies behind the disappearance of the research crew and what demonic and indescribable things dwell in below?
Zoetrope Interactive has led many previous players to madness with its earlier Darkness Within-games. The PC version of the game was published a year ago and newly published Xbox version provided screenshots for this review.
