This is a downloadable copy of Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet, delivered as a Steam activation code. The product is new and supplied by Atari under model 39050. It suits players who want a classic point-and-click adventure with a Lovecraftian atmosphere.
System requirements and DRM
The game runs on Windows XP or later with a 2.0 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM and a graphics card offering 256 MB VRAM. DirectX 9.0c and 100 MB of storage space are required. A Steam account is mandatory for activation and installation.
Region limits and upgrade context
Activation is blocked in a specific list of countries including RU, CN, IR and others; buyers in those regions cannot redeem the code. The title originally released in 1993 and was re-published up to 2015, so it replaces the original floppy or CD editions for modern libraries. Players seeking action-oriented gameplay or multiplayer modes will not find them here.
