Lovecraftian Treasure Hunts - The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu Gameplay Trailer
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is a cooperative first-person survival horror game in which you play as a member of an expedition of explorers sent into a cursed jungle in search of treasures and a legendary underground world...
Each mission begins aboard a galleon, where you and your teammates choose weapons, equipment, and objectives before setting foot on land.
Somewhat similar to Crytek’s Hunt, you traverse humid and dangerous jungle environments and encounter monstrous creatures inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft.
The goal is to complete each mission’s objectives, collect treasures, and then return safely to the galleon before the threat becomes too great.
Combat features a range of weapons (firearms, melee, etc.) against supernatural enemies, but the game innovates with a madness mechanic specific to the Cthulhu license, generating visual (and possibly auditory) hallucinations to deceive your perception during gameplay.
The developers’ idea is to trigger alterations of reality, leading you to lose track of what is real and to confuse allies with enemies, creating constant psychological tension in multiplayer.
As a result, the game places strong emphasis on communication and teamwork, especially when madness sets in and paranoia makes coordination more difficult.
Without solid strategy and mutual support, a single bad decision or poorly aimed shot can lead to the expedition’s failure.
One thing is certain at this point - the game is in good hands of ACE Team, who brought us solid games like the Clash: Artifacts of Chaos
