Previews of Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Lands on the iPhone
August 27, 2011 by beerogre
This is really beginning to shape up guys... check out the adventures of your favourite tentacled god-thing as he terrorises an alternate version of WWI on the iPhone.
Here's what Red Wasp have to say from their Press Release:
Indie developer Red Wasp Design today released the first screenshots from their anticipated upcoming game, Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land'. These screenshots are taken from the Standard Definition (SD) iPhone version of the game and are, the developer says, a work in progress. A High Definition (HD) version will follow. They show characters from the game under attack by the undead and Dark Young. As the characters fight these legions of horror they will have their sanity eroded away as the game's designer Tomas Rawlings noted, “Lovecraft and his peers created really iconic monsters that tap into our deepest fears. As huge fans of his stories, we've worked really hard to transfer the essence of these alien horrors into a game form. We're blending the core ideas of the classic role-playing game along with our experience of gameplay design all wrapped in our new 3D engine to craft what we hope is a gaming experience of malignant evil!
Announced in May this year and set to launch initially on iPhone and iPod (both SD and HD versions), Red Wasp Design plan to infect other platforms such as iPad, Android, PC and consoles with their World War One themed turn-based strategy horror. The game has been developed in co-operation with Chaosium, the purveyors of the cult horror role playing game based on Lovecraft's work, Call of Cthulhu. The much loved RPG marks it's 30th year of publication this year, which Chaosium has been celebrating with the launch of a limited edition release of Call of Cthulhu. Dustin Wright from Chaosium said, "We're very excited to be working with Red Wasp Design to bring the Call of Cthulhu world to gaming devices. It's a great time to be a fan of H.P. Lovecraft gaming.
Don’t have an iphone 🙁
LoL!
Then cancel the whole game release, @kane doesn’t have an iPhone.
Back to the drawing board lads. 😀
lol
Apologies for blatant “white knighting” but the above comment is simply banter in good jest as far as I can see.
I don’t have an iPhone either you rotters Red Wasp! *shakes clenched fist*
Make the game for my laptop instead!

Thanks Tony
Don’t play many games these days.
Partly because Vista is too stupid to run my favourites from the previous laptop and my new one is not really up to newer games! lol
you don’t loose much I am quite disappointed from Iphones and will move to android ASAP.
*Yawn* Wake me up when it’s out for Android.
Sorry, but not everyone has an underspeced over priced iPenis
shame it’s not on PC, looks like one computer game id actually be interested in…
Hope it has Shoggoths and my personal favourites, the Flying Polyps!
I got a Black Berry! It can make phone calls!
You can make calls with soft fruits now?!
What will they hink of next!?
Does one use a Raspberry to send a rude message?
Opening with apple compatibility now of all times doesn’t seem like the optimum plan. I still hope this sells enough copies to get to Andorid.
(sent from PC with Linux)
Hehe. Love your tag line. 😀
Thinking about it – Don’t Apple usually release their new ipenis around June/July?
Hmmmm, several months late so far.
Couldn’t have something to do with them realising the ipenis 5 was going to be a bit crap compaired to the new Android phones. ( Like the amazingly awesome Samsung Galaxy s2 )
Nah, couldn’t be that. 😀
Check out the level pan video on their website. Come to think of it, miniature (skirmish) games are ideal contenders for import onto the touchscreen devices.
How cool is that! I love this game.
Yes, I also like to play interesting games. My friend likes to play online, but I don’t really like it. And sometimes he gets very annoying. And I decided to teach him a lesson. I found an article on the Internet about how ignore contact on iphone and decided to do the same, because I was tired of it. As I understand it, he won’t know about it and won’t even understand what’s going on.
