MetaArcade is launching its narrative horror game Cthulhu Chronicles on the App Store for iOS today, because we don’t have enough horror in our daily lives.

The Seattle-based MetaArcade made Cthulhu Chronicles in partnership with Chaosium, which created the popular tabletop role-playing game Call of Cthulhu 37 years ago in 1981. The game distills the essence of the award-winning role-playing system into a story-driven, intuitive experience designed for mobile gamers, with individual stories forming a larger campaign set in 1920s New England.
