Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet
I went in expecting standard adventure-game puzzle-solving, and Shadow of the Comet delivers that with a strong atmosphere. You're John T. Carter, an astronomer investigating a comet's arrival and the twisted history of a remote village. The game leans hard into cosmic horror flavor without relying on jump scares, instead building tension through cryptic NPCs, strange rituals, and the creeping sense that you're uncovering something humanity wasn't meant to find. The puzzle logic is classic point-and-click adventure territory: gather clues, combine items, talk to townsfolk to unlock story threads. It's methodical, sometimes slow, but the Lovecraftian framing gives mundane detective work a genuinely unsettling edge. If you're looking for a quiet, cerebral adventure steeped in cosmic horror rather than action or thrills, this scratches that itch well.
