Howdy explorers, Have the new creatures lurking within the jungle been causing you trouble?We're currently working on our next big patch, but we've also been trying to resolve some outstanding issues that have been cropping up for some players. One of these has been the performance of the in-game voice chat. While it's been working as intended for some, we have had reports of voice chat sounding robotic or not working at all. We've overhauled it to resolve these issues and given it extensive testing. Since The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu uses spatial audio, and some sanity effects use voice, we rec

Hello explorers, It's been a couple of weeks since our last update, which focused on quality-of-life improvements, with updates to our matchmaking, filters, the ability to teleport out if you get stuck, and other tweaks and changes. Today's update is focused on bringing new content to The Mound and is part of our plans for the continued expansion and development of the game. We're able to do this thanks to the support you've shown for our game, and we hope you enjoy each update we'll continue to put out.

Hello explorers, We're back with another patch for The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu. Our latest patch focuses on Quality of Life features to improve your overall game experience.

We've also made some improvements to in-game voice chat, optimisation, and the ability to teleport yourself out if you find yourself stuck. You can also pet Carlito, which might be the most important addition this patch. We've got a larger patch in

Hello explorers, It's been a couple of weeks since the launch of The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu. We hope you've been enjoying the special kind of chaos that can only be brought by cosmic entities beyond our understanding and if you think you've started to understand how things work, then we're going to have to do something about that. Foreshadowing aside, we've had a lot of feedback about the tools players have at their disposal to deal with the Mound. This is a short patch, but with some big changes. The largest of which is the addition of a block ability, that will help you avoid getting overrun

Merry Monday, readers. Edwin’s been struck down by a post-TennoCon lurgy, and we were only too happy to allow him some rest, provided he file his Soulframe and Warframe: Tau stories before collapsing into a feverish heap. We even agreed to feed the Maw in his absence, albeit without reaching a similar accord on responsibility for the litter tray. Thus: new PC games this week. Here are some of them. Read more

Seeking relief from the terrible light of the Xbox resettification, I fall into the sweet, dank embrace of The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, a 17th century extraction game in which four crucifix-wielding, musket-toting Spanish explorers venture to a jungle full of creatures inspired by Lovecraftian horror. Why would they set foot in such an awful place? For loot, of course. Why else do Europeans travel to other countries? Read more
