Cthulhu is a single-player modification for Half-Life. It contains 65 maps, 21 new monsters and 14 new weapons. Aeons ago, Earth was ruled by The Great Old Ones, beings so alien and terrible that merely seeing them would drive most people mad. Before man's ancestors climbed down from the trees, these being were defeated in a war with The Elder Gods. But their alien nature meant that they could not be slain in any way that we would understand, so they were imprisoned. And so they wait, patient and potent until the stars are right and they shall walk forth once again and wipe mankind from the face of the Earth. You play Ranulf Stafford, an occult investigator in Arkham in the year 1928. Drawn into a nightmare chain of events, you find yourself the only thing standing between mankind and the return of Cthulhu, one of the most dreadful of The Great Old Ones.

That was a really different take at a classic mod for Half Life.
Cthulhu combined horror with sci-fi elements, included a twist of occult rites and black magic as well as very interesting concepts and takes at your armory.
While I did not use a majority of the weapons, I enjoyed all of them quite a bit.
The revolver was **** but the remodels were absolutely great, big credits to ZikShadow at this point.
There were many different areas in this mod: From zombie-plagued forests to ancient temples over highly scientific alien complexes to mystic occult seatowns.
The only models I did not really like were those of the cultists, because in the original version, they looked a lot more crazy than in the HD pack.
But other than that, great mod with innovative ideas and features.
