It was a good game which felt fun to play especially for someone that played Call of the Sea. If you like puzzles and simple narrative adventure, this will be up your alley. These games feel like going through an escape room. However, I think as a sequel it is not as good as Call of the Sea. It definitely misses some of the charm that the first game had and the story is not as good. That being said I really liked playing with Harry some more as he was a really good character in the last game. I hope to see another game in the series so that I have more fun puzzles to solve!
[H1]Puzzles are so good they almost distracted me from the poor character depth[/H1] For full transparency: I played this on normal mode and on [url=https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2770303355]stream , which stretched the runtime a lot. I’d estimate a solo playthrough closer to 4 hours. And if you're stuck, you're more than welcome to use the stream to help yourself as I know guides are rare as I write these lines. Also worth saying upfront: I didn't play Call of the Sea myself, so this is me judging Call of the Elder Gods as a standalone game, even if I already knew the broad story of the first. I’m a huge fan of good puzzles and an easy target for anything even vaguely Cthulhu-adjacent. This definitely delivered on the puzzle side, but not so much on the cosmic horror side. If you’re here for unsettling dread, turn back now because this is not it at all. The first couple chapters are honestly pretty mild. The puzzles are fine, but the ones that really woke me up didn’t show up until chapter 3-4. Once you're there though, some of them are excellent and extremely satisfying. It also nails the adventure vibe through old ruins, mysterious relics, a bit of Indiana Jones energy, and yes, even Nazis because apparently ancient temples come with a package deal . Voice acting is strong all around, music works well, and the journal on normal mode is extremely helpful for keeping clues straight. There’s also a hint system in the menu (didn’t test it), plus chapter select, which is nice for cleaning up achievements and revisiting endings. Now the bad news: the story did absolutely nothing for me. It’s cliché, super predictable and constantly acts like I should care deeply about people who have the emotional depth of decorative rocks. Dialogues drag, every revelation feels announced 5 minutes early, and some dramatic moments land with all the impact of reading meeting notes. Norah is the only exception (she actually feels like a person, sometimes), but she’s not around enough as an actual character to carry the rest. The narrator also comments on every single thought in existence, which started feeling like someone reading the game over my shoulder. It also says you can play without knowing the first game, but that’s... technically true in the same way you can start a TV series at season 2. It keeps referencing Call of the Sea so often that it feels like being left out of an inside joke. Even after selecting that I hadn’t played it, the game still assumes a lot. That made several moments way less interesting than they were probably meant to be. Difficulty is another odd one. Early puzzles are simple enough that puzzle veterans may start checking the walls for hidden exits out of boredom, then suddenly the late game expects you to turn into Sherlock. So beginners may hit a brick wall exactly where veterans finally start having fun. It’s weird pacing, but I’ll admit some of those later puzzle chains were extremely satisfying to crack. The price, though? That’s the real eldritch horror. A few standout puzzles and good voice acting are not enough to justify that tag unless you’re part of a very specific target demographic. Add in bugs (I got trapped in movement 3 times, and one area straight-up forgot to load the whole environment at around 2h25 in stream), plus some clipping issues, and it’s hard to recommend broadly. Overall, if you love escape rooms and puzzle boxes, there’s a lot to like here. But if you're seeking cosmic terror, or memorable writing / rich characters, this one is mostly a very expensive set of riddles as of now.

If you played Call of the Sea, this sequel levels up pretty much every aspect. You're not required to play it first, but I highly recommend it. The gameplay is pretty much a walking simulator with not-too-difficult puzzles, though they will consume time and require thinking. There's a great deal of environmental storytelling, everything from text notes and journals to clues in the environment that you'll miss if you don't look around for them, but ultimately you're walking through a linear narrative. You can tell there was an overwhelming amount of love put into the game from the developers. The art style is unique, beautiful, and consistent throughout. The writing is fantastic, not just the voiced dialogue, but all the notes and environmental designs do a good amount of heavy lifting to keep the world cohesive. There are no unanswered questions or plot holes. Besides that, all the other technical elements are pretty much flawless. The voice acting, audio design, music, performance, everything has been carefully crafted for the highest quality. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope the developers produce more games in this series.
