You're gonna have to do more copy-pasting to get anybody to check this out.



Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure is a PC Mac Linux comedy point 'n click love letter to classic-era Lucas Arts adventures, Hitchcock, HP Lovecraft, and many, many others. A lighthearted spoof of the Cthulhu Mythos, Gibbous will have you controlling 3 protagonists, dealing with strange cultists, ancient voodoo, and Dead Cthulhu himself. Well, "dead" is just a matter of opinion... But you really came here for the bullet points, didn't you? Alright, here ya go:
  • Classic point and click gameplay inspired by the great Lucas Arts games of yore!
  • Traditional frame by frame animation, just like back in the days (well, maybe a bit more frames)
  • Detailed, hand-painted background art!
  • Hugely diverse orchestral soundtrack!
  • Unique responses for item-hotspot combinations!
  • A focus on exploration and examining the environment!
  • Loving and respectful spoof of the Cthulhu Mythos
  • DRM-free or Steam Key!
  • Made in Transylvania!

This is like Monkey Island with Cthulhu instead of voodoo, although it seems to be trying a tad bit harder (they really shouldn't overdo the fourth wall breaking stuff).

It's rather sad that Cthulhu is now only on the internet for the Lulz. It was funny, once or twice, that it became a fucking meme is a disgrace.

What do you get when you mix Monkey Island 3 and Cthulhu? A comedy about fish monsters, talking demonic cats, the Necronomicon and Voodoo!

If you want to watch,this is my video for this great game :D

Steam page, coming "incredibly soon":



A comedy cosmic horrror adventure made in Transylvania.

Darkham, with its crooked gambrel roofs, dark alleys, and a past shrouded in secrecy, never really was a welcoming place, but nowadays? Kooky cults are popping up everywhere, and that most evil book, the Necronomicon, is spoken of in trembling whispers once more.

Detective Don R. Ketype is on the case to retrieve the mysterious evil tome, but unsuspecting librarian Buzz Kerwan stumbles upon it and accidentally transforms his cat, Kitteh, into a walking, talking abomination. Being humanized? Quite a downgrade.

Gibbous is a comedy cosmic horror game - a modern adventure that is classically inspired, features gorgeous HD art, detailed traditional animation, and a lengthy story that will see the three protagonists travel around the world and deal with abominations both cosmic and human-made, voodoo, and Things That Should Not Be. From Lovecraft Country to Transylvania, set off on a quest to get a very cynical cat to stop talking.
