Big Bad Wolf, the studio behind critically acclaimed games like Vampire: The Masquerade Swansong and The Council, has unveiled their next project: Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. The announcement included a stunning CG trailer introducing Noah, the protagonist battling encroaching madness, the submerged city of R'lyeh, and the terrifying Cthulhu himself.
