How exactly does one unlock the 2 endings needed for Nameless cult and Farewell achievments?

I'm new to reddit n stuff. Hopefully i'm doing this correctly.

As the title explains what exact steps or decisions does one have to make during the playthrough of Call of Cthulhu 2018 videogame to unlock the endings that net you the trophies Nameless Cult and Farewell?

I'm going mad looking for the info on Internet but no one has a reliable answer or strategy.

I come to the Call of Cthulhu reddit in search of answers to my plight!

Thanks in advance

Was forced to consume the leviathans flesh?

So, as the tag says i was on the mission with the whole consuming its flesh and accepting its knowledge, and i clearly clicked dont consume, and dont accept, and edwards hungry ass just heads for the table and takes a bite and even though i picked for me not to. Does anyone know if there are game aspects that would force those options upon me? I definitely made sure it wasnt a misclick.

I started playing Call of Cthulhu a few weeks ago and I'm not quite done yet but if you wanna watch a non-gamer lose his mind over this game, feel free to be frustrated with me xD In the latest video (not this one) I've just beaten the Dimensional Shambler

So I bought the game because I'm a lovecraft fan but...

I'm learning quickly that I am not a gamer!

Interacting with objects on E, running on left-shift while simultaniously moving with WASD. It feels very clunky and like I have to break my fingers in order to do all the things I want to do. Are the controls strange on PC or am I just bad at gaming?

I like the story so far all right but not the gameplay xD

Bug in the game "Call of Cthulhu - Dark Corners of The Earth"

Hi guys, I have a retail copy and in the end I can't lower the four levers after having lowered the central one, let the water out, entered the body of one of the monsters and climbed onto the 4 statues. Is there any solution?

Game crash

So I bought this game yesterday and every time I try to play it I barely get pass the loading screen after entering a save, it crashes about a minute after starting the game and I can’t seem to find anything to solve it. My drivers are up to date. Any idea what could it be?

Should I read book before playing

So imma keep this short. I've seen some videos that have made me interested in this game and I do enjoy stealth and detective/puzzle games. The seeting intrigues me, but to get the best experience, should I read the book? And if so, is there anything I should check out before playing the game? Or can I just jump in?

The finger

In chapter 8 when playing as Colden you can find a finger in Fuller’s office as one of the hidden objects, but all they say is it belonged to a woman. I don’t think it ever comes up again, but is there some buried piece of evidence that says who it belonged to?

My first homebrew Scenario. Looking for tips or ideas.

I've been keeper for a couple of scenarios and decided to create my first homebrew Scenario. I have a rough idea of how the story will go. The players will be playing investigators/detectives who are investigating the potential murder of a man. The man in question is the protagonist from hp lovecraft's Dagon. The incident is ruled out as a madman who committed suicide. But then certain clues start popping up. A neighbor comes forward with a weird story to tell about the night of the victim's death. She saw someone. Was it a murder after all?They know the victim was addicted to morphine. Did he owe someone money? What about the journal he left behind? Was it really written by the victim? Maybe it's some wierd red herring. Did the murderer write it to make it seem like a suicide? At some point the journal will dissappear from the evidence locker. The players will be able to interview a host of suspects, including the victim's doctor, psychiatrist, neighbors and landlord. They might also be able to visit the hospital, ethnologist or captain named in hp lovecraft's Dagon. Or Maybe the victim tried to do some research at local libraries. Took out a couple of books. I would like to make it a complex investigation. But there will always be something lurking in the shadows. Someone following the investigators at a distance. Something terrifying.

Sorry for all my rambling, but these are just the ideas I had for this scenario. Has anyone ever written a similar one? If so advice and tips will be greatly appreciated. Any advice is welcome. If anyone has any ideas of their own to add, like characters, monsters, encounters, combat ideas or plotlines in the story please share.

Beginning of my Cinematic "playthrough" of this game. I'm basically making an edited "movie" out of it but with most of the necessary clues and all dialogue options woven in from multiple playthroughs as well as lots of cinematic thoughts to give it more of a "movie" feel.

Call of Cthulhu (PC): Does it make sense to accumulate physical strength?

Hi guys, noob here. I’m basically starting the game (investigating the fire at the mansion right now) and whenever I get players points I tend to distribute them evenly. However I’m seeing that the most useful so far are the research focused, like perception, psychology and so on. Does it make sense to put those points in physical strength at some point? Is there a strategy to distribute these points?

Help! Chapter 6 - What am I missing?

I’ve had to use 2 walk thru’s already and I’m on chapter 6 and I’ve got the dagger but no chance can I get back to the painting - he gets me every time I get the dagger and try and hide. It is meant to be this difficult or I am not missing something.

Endless Loading Screen on Starting New Game

Hello - I'm trying to start a new game on my PC, and everything initially launches fine, but it never starts. The green loading bar rapidly fills almost completely up, with just a tiny bit left empty and the green wheel continues to spin. However, it stays in this state indefinitely, never actually starting the game. My computer itself doesn't freeze or crash, and I'm able to close the window back to the desktop without any issues. I don't have any mods and I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall the game, to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions that might help? Thanks!

Console Commands, Kill Count And Saving System

Howdy!

I have (my usual) three questions about this game, at least in the first run...

1: Does the PC version of this game have console commands available?

2: Is there a kill count, along with other statistics, featured in this game?

3: What kind of saving system does this game utilize (how do you save in this game)?

Please satisfy my curiosity; thank you in advance.

Endings and Choice?

I just finished Call of Cthulhu, and I gotta say, I'm very underwhelmed. I got all 4 endings, and after playing through the last save 4 times (to see all 4 different endings), I find it all to be lackluster. After reading about the "requirements" to get the different endings, I am certain that most of the choices don't matter in this game -- as I did some requirements of each ending, but neglected others. I think the only real necessities are to save Drake and not kill Bradley -- but all the other "choices" seem to be completely irrelevant to your endings. I think the one which made the most sense for my playthrough was Pierce's suicide -- where he simply tries to save the world by his sacrifice and non-participation in the ritual -- but god damn that's boring. Which ending did you prefer? But ultimately, what is the point in having "choice" in this game, if (in actuality) none of the choices really mattered, except which ending you choose in the last scene?!!!!? Overall the game just feels hollow.

Chapter 2 stuck getting into warehouse (am I an idiot, a failed character, or experiencing a glitch)

Hi all

Basically, in my save game, I broke the lock to the shack with whiskey in it, the barman does not like me enough to sell me whiskey, Cat will not talk to me at all any more, I cannot find the third part of the winch (I assume my spot hidden is too low?), and I cannot convince the guards that Cat sent me.

How do I get through this? Did I just spec my character bad? Or have I ruined things by making it impossible to talk to Cat? I think I exhausted my dialogue options with her at the very start of the chapter and I have been unable to talk to her about the warehouse since I discovered her goons guarding it.

Thanks in advance!
