Join us for an exclusive first look at The Mound: Omens of Cthulhu, the highly anticipated co-op survival game with over 800,000 Steam wishlists! In this gameplay preview, we dive into a dark, 17th-century world filled with Lovecraftian horrors and ancient treasures. The core mechanic revolves around a high-stakes extraction loop where you must collect loot and complete missions while managing your sanity. As the red mist rolls in, your perception twists—is that a monster in the woods, or just your teammate? We explore the unique 'ox wagon' escort system, upgrade our matchlocks and rapiers on the ship, and face off against terrifying tree creatures and giant millipedes. If you are a fan of Left 4 Dead, Lethal Company, or extraction shooters with a dark, Cthulhu-inspired twist, this is a must-watch. Can we survive the night and return with the gold, or will the madness take us first? Subscribe for more Mound coverage!
