Overview

The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is a cooperative horror expedition for the Xbox Series X, and its hook is atmosphere over jump scares. You join a team of explorers hunting treasure, sailing a galleon into a cursed jungle where riches are said to wait beyond the gates of a legendary underground world. Each run begins with preparation — selecting weapons and equipment before you disembark — and rewards those who push further with both greater danger and greater treasure. It is aimed at players who want dread that builds, and who have a group willing to lean on communication when things go wrong.

Construction of the experience draws directly from H.P. Lovecraft, and the design leans into that unpredictability. Supernatural forces do not simply chase you; they distort how you read every situation, blurring reality and illusion until doubt spreads through the group. Survival hinges on trust and mutual support, yet as madness sets in, hallucinations intensify and clear judgment becomes a resource as scarce as ammunition. One misplaced shot can turn a promising haul into disaster. A Deluxe Edition adds the Abyssal Gear Pack of weapon and tool skins, the Fortune Hunters characters pack, and the exclusive Temple of Yig mission for a different playstyle.

Key Features

AN EXPEDITION INTO THE UNKOWN: Join a team of explorers in search of treasure. Aboard your galleon, prepare for each mission by selecting weapons and equipment before setting off for adventure in the cursed jungle. The further you make progress, the greater the danger you'll face before you make it to the gates of a legendary underground world where unimaginable riches await.

LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR AND ALTERED REALITY: The Mound is inspired by the stories of H.P. Lovecraft with their oppressive and unpredictable atmospheres. Here, the supernatural forces don't just hunt you down: they distort your perception of every situation to throw you off balance. Faced with diabolical creatures and unexplained phenomena, the border that separates reality from illusion blurs, sowing doubt and paranoia among your group.

COOPERATION PUT TO THE TEST: In The Mound, survival depends on communication and helping each other. But as madness sets in, hallucinations intensify. Can you still trust your perception and do you really have time to assess the situation? One poor decision, one misplaced shot, and the mission could turn into a disaster.

A CURSED JUNGLE BRIMMING WITH TREASURE: Each expedition takes you deeper into a dense jungle where more dangers lurk and madness threatens to overwhelm you. Stay clear-headed, complete your objectives and return to your galleon before it's too late.

DELUXE EDITION CONTAINS: (1) The Abyssal Gear Pack including an exclusive skin for the matchlock musket, the flintlock musket, the oil lamp, and the knife; (2) The Fortune Hunters Characters Pack including two exclusive characters; (3) The exclusive Temple of Yig mission: a brand-new contract at the heart of a dedicated zone, offering a radically different playstyle.
