Press release:
Milan – 23 October 2018 – The independent team PsychoDev announces its new project, named “Chronicle of Innsmouth: Mountains of Madness”, a graphic adventure which blends the Lovecraft universe with the classic style of LucasArts adventures. On October 30, 2018 the developers will launch a Kickstarter campaign to bring the Mountains of Madness to Steam, iOS, Android and Switch, to be released in November 2019.

The PsychoDev team has previously published Chronicle of Innsmouth, its well-received debut graphic adventure based on the Lovecraft universe in May of 2017. This prequel promises to improve on all the elements of the first game, particularly with its increased graphics resolution.

Mountains of Madness takes place in the world of the master of horror, H.P. Lovecraft. Set in the 1930s, it traces the events narrated in the novel “At The Mountains Of Madness”, which tells the story of an expedition of scientists bound for the South Pole only to come across a shocking discovery.

This is only the beginning of many incredible and mystifying events that will befall them. The game is populated by characters unique to the Lovecraftian style of exploration into the unknown, and spans many farflung eras, even revealing the shrouded origin of the Necronomicon itself. Mountains of Madness is an epic journey in which discovering the truth behind its terrible mysteries is but a passport to madness.

About PsychoDev:
PsychoDev was created by the union of a team of professionals combining their extensive experience in the field of video games and of graphic adventures in particular (including Detective Cock; Little Briar Rose; The Wardrobe; Tales; Shadows on the Vatican etc.)

The first PsychoDev project, Chronicle of Innsmouth, is an adventure game based on “The Shadow Over Innsmouth” by H.P.Lovecraft. Chronicle instantly stole the hearts of Lovecraft fans who pushed for the team to create a physical boxed version of the game, which quickly sold out. The new project in the saga is Mountains of Madness. Due to be released in 2019, this next chapter should surprise and delight fans, both old and new to the series, with its fresh modernized style.
