The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu

this game has lots of potential but the gameplay the loop is boring as hell and the cpus in this game make me pull hairs out my head the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ npcs you could get on your team you get just play with other people. and the combat is janky feels like im a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ a door nob fighting people its mostly. and the game looks good but son we gotta do better with the gameplay its not fun im genuinely not having fun playing this ♥♥♥♥. plz update this game plz it can be good but this is bad looks ngl not playing this ♥♥♥♥ again. the other p[arts of the game are fine multiplayer is fine and the mechanics are also fine and the world the game is in is very good i got this game cuz of my love for Lovecraft. but they could change a lot about this game. i think letting the game cook for a bit would do it good. but at this moment this game is nowhere near optimal.

게임 구조가 솔로 플레이에게 굉장히 불친절합니다. 진행하며 싸움이 불가피한데, 무조건 팀원과 함께 싸워야 자원소모를 최소화 할 수 있습니다. 한 사람이 어그로를 끌어줄 때 뒤에서 암살해야하는데, 솔로에서는 모든 적 어그로가 나한테 끌려있다보니 불가능합니다. 그리고 최적화도 좋은편은 아닙니다. 꼭 3명 이상 코옵플레이를 추천드립니다. 2명도 빡세더라고요. 게임 분위기는 마음에 듭니다. 다만 개선의 여지가 많은것도 사실이에요.

Sehr cooles Game ! gebe es nur zurück weil keiner meiner Mates es spielen will :(

Bon commençons par l'ambiance, qui est à mon sens, le vrai point fort du jeux. Ont commence, on ce dit "Pouah ça va être tranquille", puis on finit de changer de sous vêtement à partir de la 3ème mission. Les hallucinations, les ennemis qui vous cours dessus, le sound design, les faux loot ... On comprend vite que le jeux va jouer avec nos nerfs de manière crescendo. Il y a un rapport du genre " est ce que je peux encore enduré pour accumulé les trésors ? Mes nerfs vont tenir ?". J'y est jouer principalement en solo, donc je n'est pas de retour avec le multi, mais le potentiel est énorme. Ont est lâché dans un univers ou l'on ne comprend pas tout les rouages, on avance, on trébuche, on meurs, on crie, le bpm au max, et on apprivoise au fur et a mesure notre environnement, sans que le sentiment d'insécurité ne nous quitte vraiment. En ce qui concerne l'aspect technique, j'ai du mal à le faire tourner avec des FPS convenable, certes ma carte graphique est viellissante, mais tout en faible, avec dlss en perf, j'ai énormément de ralentissement, ce qui gâche l'expérience. Le jeux viens juste de sortir, prenons notre mal en patience pour l'optimisation. Enfin je le conseil vraiment, en plus si vous êtes fans de Lovecraft, dont la nouvelle "Le Tertre" a inspirer le jeux, que vous adorer souillé vos caleçons, seul ou entre amis, foncer vous perdre dans la jungle, trouver des trésors et des connaissances qui ne devrais pas tomber au mains de personnes qui n'aurait jamais du savoir !

Not Recommended After just under 3 hours, I can't recommend this in its current state. My biggest issue was stability. I couldn't even get into the game at first. I was getting CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT and MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION blue screens on a high-end PC (i7-14700KF, RTX 4080 SUPER, 32GB DDR5). I updated NVIDIA drivers, disabled XMP in the BIOS, turned off my second monitor and tried multiple troubleshooting steps before I could finally get the game to launch. The frustrating part is that it wasn't just me. Once we finally got into a match, friends were crashing throughout the session, forcing the rest of us to wait while they rejoined. The in-game voice chat also kept breaking, so we ended up using Discord, which defeats the whole point of having proximity chat. Gameplay-wise, the first hour was genuinely creepy and the atmosphere was great. Unfortunately, after that it became repetitive very quickly. It feels like the game shows too much too early instead of gradually building the tension and introducing new mechanics as the difficulty increases. By the third level, it felt like we'd already seen most of what the game had to offer. Combat also needs work. It feels clunky, the controls never quite feel right, and the hit detection is inconsistent. There were plenty of times I'd swing point blank and miss, or accidentally hit a teammate instead. A few other issues: Frequent crashes. Bugs. Difficulty doesn't seem to scale well with player count. No jump mechanic, which feels surprisingly limiting. Repetitive gameplay loop. Overpriced for the amount of content currently available. It feels like it takes inspiration from The Forest, Phasmophobia and Left 4 Dead, but doesn't reach the same standard as any of them. It's definitely a "friends game", and I probably wouldn't play it solo. If my group wanted to jump on again I'd join them, but I wouldn't go out of my way to play it. There is potential here. The atmosphere, audio and overall concept are solid. But in its current state, it feels more like an Early Access title that still needs a lot of polish before I could recommend it. 5/10.

its good

The game has a single-player mode, but playing solo feels impossible—there are too many enemies, and they appear out of nowhere. How am I supposed to handle them alone with just a single-shot gun with 10 rounds and... a toothpick masquerading as a knife?
