Shortly after the debut of its Nacon Connect 2026 showcase where French publisher Nacon tried to put up a strong front amidst a major time of upheaval in its history, a new report points to more upheaval and, unfortunately, another studio closure. According to French outlet Origami, Nacon is preparing to shut down Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss and Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong developer Big Bad Wolf as part of its attempt to survive its insolvency filing and that of Big Bad Wolf's parent company Cyanide, which itself is a subsidiary of Nacon. Of course, this is an unconfirmed report […]

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is the latest Lovecraftian horror game to hit the market, but beyond its horror elements, it is first and foremost a puzzle game. Of course, the fun in every puzzle game is solving the puzzle that the developers have put in front of you, but it's also understandable if you need a hint or two. This guide, and the other six on their way, will take you through each chapter of Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. For more on Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, check out my review.

With PC games growing increasingly complex nowadays — especially ones built on Epic Games's infamous Unreal Engine 5 — default/maxed-out graphics settings rarely (if at all) strike the optimal balance between visual fidelity and performance that most PC gamers seek, and Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is no exception to this rule. As a demanding UE5 game, it should come as no surprise to many that the game's maxed-out/Epic graphics settings will be very GPU-heavy, and thus should require some tweaking to achieve better performance on most rigs, without hopefully completely sacrificing visual fidelity. This guide should hopefully help you strike […]

French developer Big Bad Wolf (The Council, Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong) returns to the market next month with Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, a first-person narrative-driven adventure game based on H.P. Lovecraft's beloved cosmic horror mythos. Unlike most Cthulhu stories, though, this one is set in the future, rather than the past. In 2053, with Earth's surface resources almost fully depleted, corporations begin scouring the deepest oceans, utterly unaware of the ancient horror they are about to awaken. Noah, the main character, is an agent of Ancile, a secret division of Interpol that specialises in occult affairs. He is tasked […]

It's that time of year again, as we're back to yet another Steam Next Fest filled to the brim with demos of upcoming games, some of which could be some of the year's biggest games when they finally arrive. As I have done previously, I've gone through a slew of demos that are available as part of the festival, and curated my findings into a list of a few that I highly recommend you spend some time playing throughout the festival's remaining run time. It's also worth noting that even if you don't catch this list until after the festival […]

Publisher Nacon and developer Big Bad Wolf have debuted a new gameplay trailer for Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, just ahead of when players will get a chance to try out the game themselves when a demo is released as part of Steam Next Fest on February 23, 2026. The trailer digs into one of the game's core mechanics, investigations, as the player character Noah investigates an underwater mining station that, at least at first glance, seems to be abandoned. The trailer showcases the dark corridors of the mining station and shows Noah exploring the hallways, scanning and analyzing clues, before […]
