A Conflict Beyond Human Comprehension
Set amidst the cataclysmic backdrop of World War I, Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land weaves a chilling tale of an ancient evil stirring beneath the surface of the conflict. As your team of investigators and soldiers, you’ll find yourselves pitted against an enemy far older and more malevolent than any human adversary – the forces of the Cthulhu Mythos.
Prepare to encounter grotesque cultists, terrifying creatures from beyond the stars, and ancient entities whose very existence threatens to unravel the fabric of reality. Can your team maintain their grip on sanity long enough to unravel the sinister plot that threatens to plunge the world into eternal darkness?
Strategic Gameplay Rooted in the Cthulhu Mythos
Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land masterfully blends turn-based strategy gameplay with the rich lore and mechanics of the Call of Cthulhu RPG. Each investigator possesses unique skills and abilities, allowing you to tailor your squad to meet the challenges ahead.
As you navigate the war-torn landscapes and delve into eerie trenches, your choices will shape the narrative and determine the fate of your team. Engage in tactical combat, investigate cryptic clues, and unravel the secrets of the Mythos, all while managing the sanity of your investigators.

Sanity is a fragile commodity in Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land. As your investigators witness the horrors of war and confront the unfathomable cosmic entities, their minds will be pushed to the brink.
Every encounter, every failed skill check, and every glimpse into the abyss chips away at their sanity. Manage your investigators’ mental health carefully, or risk succumbing to madness and losing their grip on reality.
