Throughout the entire game, Call of Cthulhu gives you many opportunities to make different decisions – whether or not to drink alcohol, eat Leviathan’s meat, acquire the monster’s knowledge, or what to do with Officer Bradley. These elections seemingly do not have much significance – they do not significantly influence current events. They do, however, determine the ending of the game to a huge extent. There are four endings in total – this section contains all the information required to learning the requirements of each of these.
