Question About Leveling up Occult

Hello to all that are still playing this game. I just had a question. I've made it to Chapter 6 so far, and noticed that, despite having picked up every occult item I know of, I was not at the right level for a skill check. I've seen a few times about people leveling up the occult skill 'before you start', and when I started a new game to check, I didn't see any ability to do so. Is this a new game thing? Am I just thick? Maybe I missed something?

EDIT: yes I may just be an idiot. It’s during the telephone conversation right after you awake from the nightmare that you can upgrade it, not before, and not after. I suppose I’m starting a new occult game now since that’s how I was hoping to play.

Help! Game crashes in Chapter 5

I make it through the asylum, into Sanders’ room and in the middle of the scene as he’s being thrown around, my game crashes. I tried the dev cheat code, I’ve deleted and reinstalled, checked for corrupt data, etc. but I can fix the problem. Does anybody know what else I can do? Playing on Nintendo Switch.

will a sequel ever be released?

I had a blast getting through this game. I'm fond of every aspect of this thing:the atmosphere, dialogue,action,the villains and their wretched deeds...it was a great experience. This leaves me wondering if there will ever be a sequel to such a neat game.

Can't get occult item from chest because my investigation skill is too low

How in the world do I prioritize occult to max it when there are other skills I need in order to even get access to all of the occult stuff? I had to prioritize getting spot hidden up so I wouldn't miss the mansion occult item but now my investigation skill was lacking so I can't get the other occult item.

Edwards investigation sections. Does he have powers?

Throughout the game it seems like he's just good at crime scene investigating but as time goes on his crime reconstructions seem to react to him. Like the occult stuff that pops up sometimes hurting him or giving him visions. Why?

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.
