Today, PsychoDev has announced their Lovecraftian point ’n’ click adventure Chronicle of Innsmouth: Mountains of Madness, which will be published on Steam by late March (final date to be announced).

Mountains of Madness is the second entry in the Chronicle of Innsmouth franchise and is set 10 years before the events of the first chapter. Written by a Lovecraft expert, the game is based on the eponymous novella, but features many references to other stories. It also includes many easter eggs that only the geekiest of Lovecraft geeks will get (like Lone Carter’s name himself), and gives you the opportunity to play as the Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred, author of the dreaded Necronomicon, and at some point as H.P. Lovecraft himself.

In this adventure, you play as the investigator Lone Carter, who comes back home after an encounter with the Mythos only to find himself in a complex plot that intertwines different characters, places, and even eras. A mystery story involving a series of deaths and disappearances, where your skills as a detective will face the cosmic horror and dread of the Cthulhu Mythos – you need to find the truth, but the truth might be too much to bear.
