The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu

An interesting blend of genres, this is a cool coop extraction game that really messes with your head. Within just a couple of hours we've had friends become enemies, enemies become invisible, friends become invisible, trees, tentacles, blood rain.... the list goes on. All of this is intentional just to screw with you. Good stuff. Have no issues with framerate or any other performance and while there are some janky things for sure, I haven't encountered any bugs outside of the main menu being off center 1 time.

was soll ich sagen es ist nicht gut.... es fehlen funktionen wie springen, blocken oder ausweichen sehr linear also nix so wirklich mit erkunden kisten und loot sind fast immer an der selben stelle man hat keine richtige auswahl der waffen nur die man im vertrag bekommt kein stash....

wet fart

Oui c'est un excellent jeu qui poussera ceux qui aiment les challenges dans leurs retranchements. Au menu un bestiaire cauchemardesque et extrêmement bien fournit, une armurerie d'époque, un système de folie et de paranoïa constant soupoudré de trésors et objets occultes lovecraftiens à récupérer... Ce jeu est exigeant, magnifique entre les plages, marais, jungles, grottes et autres ruines. Les cartes sont grandes avec de nombreux détails regorgeant de faunes, flores, pièges mais également trésors. Il existe différents modes de jeux allant de la récupération de trésors, nourritures et équipements, où il faudra en mission secondaire récupérer des journaux d'expéditions pour ouvrir de nouvelles zones, sauver des individus de l'ancien corps expéditionnaire pour avoir des nouveaux personnages jouables ou améliorer l'équipage (bonus divers comme avec le sculpteur comme pour le cuisinier) ou bien des missions de purifications de zone. Bref un vaste contenu et surtout une ambiance pesante ou un camarade peut vous attaquer à n'importe quel moment si la jungle la déjà emporté et corrompus sans que vous le sachiez...

Recommended Picked the demo and now got it up on launch day and played a few sessions with friends. The atmosphere is great, the jungle is tense, sanity and the Lovecraft setting works really well. It’s refreshing to have a co-op game that relies more on teamwork and exploration than cheap jump scares. There are a few launch bugs, but nothing that ruined the experience for us. Hopefully the upcoming patches will smooth things out. If you enjoy co-op horror games, this one is definitely worth a look.

This is a fun game, and it has a great game loop. But it has some problems. There are times when events take place that are feel near impossible to overcome. It feels like I am just dying over and over with no ability to advance. I saw someone else get that feeling of being pushed to hurry. No time to explore. There is so much to explore that we should have that opportunity, especially on the "basic" missions. Weapon breakage really needs to be nerf, if not removed. Now, even though that is a lot of issues, I will still recommend it because it is a fun game that needs attention.

flat out the game is just not functioning correctly I have no ability to play any multiplayer and even when I get into the game (solo) it doesn't even run that well.

Pour avoir jouer quelques parties, le jeu est sympa malgré son manque de perfectionnement. Le concept est bien trouvé même si le jeu n'est pas si effrayant que ça. L'IA des ennemies peut être encore travaillé pour éviter qu'elle décide d'attaquer un joueur en hauteur et d'ignorer celui qui est atteignable. Le feeling des armes sont un peu bizarre, voir même archaïque dans les combat. Les armes à feu reste puissantes même si la pluie vient mettre son grain de sel quand tu utilises une arme à mèche. Les animations ont une qualité variable, celles qui retirent t'on contrôle sur ton personnage sont très bien faites, mais la charette à tendance à faire un gros drift par moment. Pour moi, c'est perfectible mais tout à fait jouable et amusant.

So...this is a hard game to figure out at first glance. Honestly I think they do a mediocre job explaining actually what this is. It looks, and at times might even feel like something akin to Darktide, but in actuality it's far closer to something like Lethal Company. It's like if Lethal Company took its horror very very seriously, and had a decent budget. You take a contract to extract a specific value in loot, pick a place to go gather said loot out, and divvy up your equipment between you and your team mates and then you go. There are different times of day and weather effects that may make it easier or harder to explore, and an entire mythos worth of Lovecraftian horrors to make it all that much harder. The Lovecraft influence shines through beautifully, both in terms of story and art direction. It is wonderfully creepy 99 percent of the time, and the tension never really lets up. It goes out of its way to explain very little about how it works, which is gonna frustrate anyone who isn't here for the horror. How does sanity work? What plants, if any help treat it? Is everything in my head? It's all handled excellently, and I can't get enough. All that said, this is gonna be a hard sell for most. It's very much a horror game, not an action loot game. The combat IS fun, and not terribly hard to get your head around, but it's easy to bite off more then you can chew and end up dead. If you're into coop horror with an emphasis on the horror, and you're into Lovecrafts work, then this is an EASY sell, pick it up now. If you're more into the streamerbait, friendslop thing, probably best to look elsewhere.

The jungle is bleeding. Trust me.
