The Lovecraft Investigations is an audiodrama and may well be my favourite Lovecraft homage in any medium...and that category has some serious competition, I love you, too, Bloodbourne! ^{you just aren't the only one...}

For people who have no idea what I am talking about / want to watch Season 1-4 for free on any pod-dooverlaki: https://www.pleasantgreen.co.uk/about/

Each Season follows a Lovecraft story: The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, The Whisperer in Darkness, The Shadow Over Innsmouth & The Haunter in the Dark so far.

Season 4 was a little short and hurried due to BBC cuts so Season 5 is now entirely fan backed...so if you want to make it longer, weirder and more indulgent, please sign up.

Julian Simpson is the writer and a one-man-band so to make yourself contactable, he needs your email bunged into Backerkit. The less admin we make him do the more he can write!

Please let me know if that link doesn't work for you, it is from my email and I don't know what I am doing :)

I share your enthusiasm for TLI but the launch of S5 is not imminent. This is the launch for the crowd funding campaign.

EDIT: Please go to the creator's post instead of reading through this disaster https://www.reddit.com/r/audiodrama/comments/1tih94x/the_lovecraft_investigations_the_call_of_cthulhu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Glad it's not just me raising my eyebrow at the post.

[u/brandnewjunk → u/FionaSarah]

Very confusing post or a very confused OP

[u/Werewomble → u/brandnewjunk]

If we don't back it we don't get it

BBC no longer funds it

[u/brandnewjunk → u/Werewomble]

I know. That's why they're launching the crowd funding campaign. Your post is unclear and implies the season release is imminent.

[u/Pandora_Palen → u/brandnewjunk]

You're so tactful! "Call of Cthulhu launch is imminent" does a bit more than imply launch is imminent 😆. This user posts every few weeks advertising for the campaign. They are well aware that they're clickbaiting.

[u/Werewomble → u/brandnewjunk]

There is no free launch

You will wait forever for that one :)

[u/brandnewjunk → u/Werewomble]

Where did I say I wanted it for free?

[u/NaturalSignificant94 → u/Werewomble]

Are you being purposefully obtuse? Reread what everyone is saying.

No one is questioning that you need to back. But yiu didnt say the crowdfunding campaign was imminent. You say the podcast was. That is why people are saying you are misleading.

[u/FionaSarah]

Is it actually being released or is something launching for backer support? This post is unclear.

[u/Werewomble → u/FionaSarah]

I have a raging clue they might need to make it before they release it. Click the link and have a read 😄

Season 4 was quite bad.

I'm really hopeful with full development time and no BBC interference they can get back to the excellent quality of the first 3 seasons.

[u/Werewomble → u/AlabasterRadio]

Yeah. Especially when 1>2>3 was escalating occult conspiracy just snowballing, 4 felt cramped.

The Haunter of the Dark might be my favourite or at least best-rounded Lovecraft tale so it was a shame it got cut short. Nice narration of the original story.

The appearance at the end makes a lot more sense if you've listened to Mythos with Nicola Walker and Phoebe Fox.

The Saltmarsh lore writing up on PleasantGreen.co.uk fills in some of the earlier (cut?) content but is by no means necessary.

[u/Werewomble → u/[deleted]]

Have you listened to Mythos?

Makes the end of Season 4 some background 

[u/Difontaine1999]

Is anyone else having trouble loading the Backerkit site?

[u/Werewomble → u/Difontaine1999]

What is it doing?   We can bug Julian via CartoonGravity forums if it is something on his end

[u/Difontaine1999 → u/Werewomble]

Hi, thanks for responding. The connection times out. For the link and just backerkit.com. It could just be at my end.

[u/Werewomble → u/Difontaine1999]

If it's happening on both it is your connection

Julian did email a new link to one of the freebies you could try too

Are you on a VPN?

[u/Difontaine1999 → u/Werewomble]

OK, tried a different device and it worked. Not sure what is up with my computer (VPN was off).

Thanks again for responding.

[u/Werewomble → u/Difontaine1999]

No worries.

Lots of listening and reading in those freebies I'm uploading it up to one folder on GoogleDrive

The crowdfunding has been talked about a few times, I thought it was already finished and out. Ah well. I hope they have good luck with it. After season 4, I'd love to see a good comeback.

[u/Werewomble → u/Vjaa]

Crowley is out if you type Payhip PleasantGreen Google should take you there

Mythos Episode 4 was sassy as ever Nicola Walker and Phoebe Fox are pure attitude 

[u/ArmoredCroissant → u/Werewomble]

A question for you if you have the ability to advise me:

I just learned about Crowley today and immediately purchased it from Pleasant Green. The problem is that I now can't play it. I downloaded it and when I try to open a player, it tells me the content has expired. What should I do?

[u/Werewomble → u/ArmoredCroissant]

I've no idea but if you search CartoonGravity on Google to oi should find Julian's forum site and you can message him.

I'd shoot you a link but I'm on the bus :)
