In the original story Obed was implied to have been a Card-Carrying Villain who summoned the Deep Ones to Innsmouth purely out of Greed and who was willing to give them whatever they wanted in exchange for their gold. Adaptational Heroism: Downplayed with Obed Marsh.Compare that to Jack, who is MUCH more hands on. He still brought death to the Deep Ones and dismantled the Marsh family's empire, but only by virtue of telling the authorities who then did all the real work. He was chased out of town in much the same manner as Jack before passing out from horror upon seeing a Deep One in person. Adaptational Badass: In the source material, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, the main character was a college student who visited Innsmouth on a whim.Most of the raid takes place offscreen, so the players don't raid the Marsh Manor and meet Nyarlathotep, they don't get to take part in the submarine attack on the underwater city, or witness Brian Burnham's alternate fate of being eaten alive by Dagon. Adapted Out: As this is a Pragmatic Adaptation of the "Escape from Innsmouth" and "Raid on Innsmouth" campaigns from Call of Cthulhu, something things had to be left out or condensed.Action-Based Mission: Contrasting with the usually intended stealth gameplay, Jack is forced to fight during sequences like the warship level or some portions of the last level, which both involve to move through hordes of Deep Ones.

Not to be confused with the tabletop game Call of Cthulhu nor with its official videogame adaptation Call of Cthulhu: The Official Video Game. Still Dark Corners of the Earth is considered by some critics to be an excellent, if not the best, Survival Horror video game at the time of release. There are a lot of compatibility issues which were only compounded by the studio going bankrupt shortly after release meaning there's no official bug fix patches, though a couple of dedicated fans have tried their hands at some. Sadly the game's engine has not aged well. Though he is eventually declared sane and released, Walters is obviously no longer fit to be in the police force, and is now trying to make a living as a private investigator, actually investigating what he did himself during his period of amnesia between cases for other clients. It turns out that whatever happened inside the manor gave him a Split Personality, and his new identity had taken over his body for half a decade, resulting in him getting incarcerated in an Arkham sanatorium. Skip ahead a few years, and Walters has lost his memory of what exactly happened inside, and the events afterwards. What he finds inside is quite disturbing. Taking cover, Walters accidentally locks himself inside the manor. Walters arrives, but a shootout occurs anyway. They demand that Jack Walters be sent in to speak with them. The cult is armed with rifles, and refuses to allow the police into the manor. At the start of the game, the Boston Police Department has arrived at an old manor at the edge of the city to investigate alleged crimes of a resident cult called the Brotherhood of Yith. Players take on the role of Jack Walters, a police detective with a reputation for seemingly impossible insight into difficult cases, in 1920's Massachusetts. It is the last title developed by the now-defunct Headfirst Productions, and was published by Bethesda Softworks in the year 2005. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is a horror/adventure video game based on the Cthulhu Mythos, specifically The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The Shadow Out of Time.
