Call of Cthulhu Endings Call of Cthulhu Guide and Walkthrough

Last update: 08 November 2018

Throughout the entire game, Call of Cthulhu gives you many opportunities to make different decisions - whether or not to drink alcohol, eat Leviathan's meat, acquire the monster's knowledge, or what to do with Officer Bradley. These elections seemingly do not have much significance - they do not significantly influence current events. They do, however, determine the ending of the game to a huge extent. There are four endings in total - this section contains all the information required to learning the requirements of each of these.

Note - not all steps are required to unlock the endings described below, but some steps, such as killing or saving a character, are indeed required.

• Call of Cthulhu
• The protagonist's suicide
• The Suicide of Sarah Hawkins
• Conduct the Counter-Ritual
