Inspired by the award-winning board game franchise, Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace is an investigation game served with turn-based combat, set in the haunted worlds of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos. Plunge into an original story written by Fantasy Flight Interactive’s official writers and explore the American Roaring Twenties.
The year is 1926: a professor of astronomy is found dead in her mansion and everything indicates that she has been the victim of a heinous murder. Choose from 12 intrepid investigators from the Arkham Horror games, each with a unique set of skills, and assemble your team to shed the light over this mysterious death.
Find clues, perform interrogations and progress through nine chapters as the story unfolds. Your investigation will take you to visit shadowed institutions and mysterious locales, ranging from Miskatonic University, the Arkham Asylum, and the bayous of Louisiana.
As the investigators get closer to their goal, your squad will have to face curious science, living nightmares, and a sinister cult, whose mad scheme is to bring about the end of everything. Use a large variety of melee and ranged weapons, as well as powerful items and devastating magic spells to defeat your opponents in turn-based combat; while you attempt to retain your sanity.
As you face off against Lovecraftian horrors, your investigators will descend deeper into the depths of madness, affecting their level of sanity and causing traumas that will impact the course of your investigation. Care about your sanity and make the right choices… the Ancient Ones are preparing their return.

'..snatched from the jaws of victory'. The game not my playthrough. I cannot in any way, unfortunately, recommend this game. I have played through 6 of the chapters so far but gave up having twice not got through the final fight in no 6. But that is not the reason I stopped. It is all the annoyance created getting to that point. Main issues - problems with movement, I have had to ctrl alt del to get out of the game numerous times because my character was stuck and unable to move as it was blocked in by the scenery or other characters. Luckily when I rebooted it took me back to the same place but in a different position so I could carry on. But is this acceptable? Given the price of the game, is it really that unfinished. Secondly, the sheer nauseating monotomy of clicking on every white dot mostly to find that you get a sanity check. As others have said, you pick up a piece of paper that has today's date on it, oh no sanity check, lose one sanity. that is not gameplay that is weak playtesting and only annoying to the people trying to play the game. If you want to play the story ie get to the end, use one of the guides which say 'if you click on the shrine you will get a sanity check'. You can then avoid them and the game actually flows better.
Alas this is not like the boardgame, there is no thrill of the chase or team bonding here, it feels like a cop-out. To be fair I dont think it started out that way and there are lots of familiarities here with the original Arkham but I feel that this would be much better done as an X-Com or Phantom Doctrine type background with Arkham layered over the top. That way the movement would be excellent, you could have sanity and health for each character, you could have your base with team members working on other things while your team goes out to discover clues and battle the cults, and you could create the right atmosphere. Lots of scenarios such as finding the other team members, investigating a suspicious event, battling a known cult hideout and eventually build up to the grand finale etc.
This game is a travesty I am surprised it even got a mixed grading. I went for it because it was Arkham but wish I hadnt bothered.
It is a nice touch. Not quite terrifying, but interesting, especially, if you like the tabletop games with the same characters.
If you're a fan of the Fantasy Flight Arkham Files series of board games, you'll love this!
The game play is reminescent of the old Sierra games. Limited text bases choices requiring you to do what the devs thought was the right answer. I find it clunky. In the late 1980's, it would have been acceptable tech. Not now. The Developer Lucky Hammers closed in 2019.
If you like Lovecraft's stories and setting this is worth a play if you can buy it on a LARGE discount. It is somewhat atmospheric, and is well narrated (other voice acting is hit and miss). Graphics and music are better than expected. Game play is very simple, almost walking simulator simple, if that makes sense (but it isn't a walking simulator).
What are you getting? A weird combo b/w a very simple adventure game, and a poor xcom style tactical battle system. However, as I said, if you like Lovecraftian stuff the adventure components are ok and the combat is tolerable for brief periods. It isn't a hard game and is a good one to play if you just want to turn off your brain and chill. I'd give it.... 5/10? Really only worth it if you like the subject matter and are feeling a bit starved.
