About
Call of Cthulhu (2018) is an RPG-Investigation game that blends psychological horror with stealth mechanics, developed by Cyanide. Players take on the role of a detective unraveling the mysterious deaths of an acclaimed artist and her family on a remote island, only to discover a far more sinister truth involving the cosmic entity Cthulhu itself. The game's deeply immersive atmosphere and narrative-driven approach make it a standout title for horror fans seeking something more cerebral than action-focused.
Performance-wise, Call of Cthulhu is relatively accessible on modern hardware. The game runs well on entry-level GPUs with benchmark scores around 4047, requiring just 8GB of RAM and a CPU scoring approximately 4228. You can expect solid FPS performance on mid-range graphics cards even at higher settings, making it an excellent benchmark title for testing how older or budget GPUs handle detailed environments and atmospheric lighting without demanding cutting-edge hardware.
If you're drawn to narrative-heavy horror experiences with investigation and stealth gameplay, Call of Cthulhu is worth exploring despite its modest 69/100 rating. The game's atmospheric world and unique Lovecraftian setting appeal to players seeking something different from mainstream AAA titles.
Performance profile
October 2018 release. Call of Cthulhu was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.
RPGs like Call of Cthulhu stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.
Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Call of Cthulhu; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
