The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu

Bought on here hoping PC would be better than PSN, usually is. NOPE! Very basic, the game explains nothing you better be prepared to figure out everything with 0 explanation. Another game with a million hotfixes that fix nothing. don't waste your time.

So many game-breaking bugs

I was hesitant to buy The Mound - a game I was looking forward to - because of the mixed reviews, but a friend and I made the plunge regardless, and haven't regretted it. The atmosphere is palpable and creeps up on you until it pounces.

Unfinished crap The combat is wacky at most, no new mechanics to offer, and basic functionality does not work: the inventory might get bugged, you cant pick up food and at the same time your slots get occupied by invisible items. Terrible game which I wouldnt recommend to anyone. Not even in sale

Fun to play with friends but gets old fast . Feels unfinished .

Passed the game. Sick lore if you give it time.
