After more than a good ninety-two hours of being cooped up in a dark room with nothing but chips and Mountain Dew serving as my only form of sustenance, I finally emerged from my lair and strode forth into the real world… well… for little over ten minutes or so.

You know there is something distinctly wrong when you are greeted by a brown box sitting on your bed. Pulling out my silenced 9mm pistol, I slowly opened the box with my Astartes Power Swords and lo and behold, my orders from the Bioware store!

Videogames based on Howard Phillips Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos are nothing new, but Cthulhu Saves the World is the first game to cast the deity in a satirical RPG setting.
