Gibbous — A Cthulhu Adventure is a Comedy Cosmic Horror Point-and-Click Adventure Game from 2019, by the Transylvanian indie developer-team, Stuck In Attic. Best described as what happens when the Cthulhu Mythos meets Disney, this is indeed a somewhat unusual one.In the spooky city of Darkham, strange things are brewing. There are whispers of kooky cults popping up everywhere, and it is believed that this is connected to the reappearance of the classic Tome of Eldritch Lore to rule them all, the Necronomicon. Local Private Detective Don R. Ketype is asked by mysterious employers to track down a copy of the infamous book, but before he is able to get his hands on it, it ends up in the hands of the hapless and unsuspecting librarian Buzz Kerwan. Through more shenanigans, Buzz ends up accidentally using the book to give his cat, Kitteh, the ability to speak. To the poor cat, however, this is a terrible curse; for cats aren't supposed to be understood, so making them more human is both a horrible downgrade and perversion of nature, so she demands that Buzz finds some way to undo his mistake.Eventually, Don and Buzz link up their investigations and the three set off on a globe-trotting quest to turn Kitteh back to cathood, uncover greater conspiracies and darker forces at work, and try to figure out the secret behind the Necronomicon's incommensurable power.In 2021, Stuck In Attic successfully crowdfunded another game set in the same universe: Near-Mage. Its release date is "When the stars are right". |

Hopeless with Tech: True to the era his character-type is from, Don is rather confused and frighted by modern technology, having brought a laptop simply for show to assure prospective clients that he isn't hopelessly behind the times. When Buzz later borrows it to do research on the Internet, Don admits upfront to him he has ever actually used the laptop himself and that he doesn't even know what the Internet or a blog is. |

Horror Comedy: The game leans mostly to the comedic side, but make no mistake — the Cosmic Horror Story's genre trappings when it comes to humanity's fragility in the face of inscrutable cosmic forces and the terrifying existential questions and implications that rises therefrom are very much kept intact. |

Incompatible Orientation: Luca the coachman in Transylvania is interested in the local barmaid. Once the town's internet is restored, he finds out from her not!Tinder profile that she's only interested in women. He's fine with this, as it means that the hipster that's trying to pursue her also has no chance with her. |

Lovecraft Country: Seeing how this uses the Cthulhu Mythos as a basis, it is inevitable. Especially the town of Darkham, which is an obvious pastiche of H. P. Lovecraft's dark and crooked New England towns. Just, with a "D" at the front of it. |

Don't Try This at Home: In order to get some answers from the barkeepers in Transylvania, Buzz needs to be able to stomach some țuică and ask them while under its effects. Since he gets hammered immediately, Luca provides him some vegetable oil to swallow so he can withstand it. When Buzz brings this trope comes up, Luca notes that you shouldn't underestimate the audience's intelligence. |

| | Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure (Video Game) / int_8bfd8321 |

Informing the Fourth Wall: Lampshaded. It makes sense for Don to do this, seeing how he is a private eye; an occupation to which a penchant for flowery internal monologues aimed at no one in particular is pretty much a strict requirement. When the perspective switches to Buzz, however, he quickly notices that he is starting to talk to himself all of a sudden for seemingly no reason, and he fears it makes him sound crazy. |

Shout-Out: Darkham has an asylum. Examining it leads to Buzz commenting the asylum's leader is "a real Joker". There are a literal ton of Monkey Island references in the game, from a book in Buzz's room having a puzzle solution from The Curse of Monkey Island, to the Voodoo Gentleman (referencing recurring Monkey Island character the Voodoo Lady). Examine the view of Paris enough times while playing as Don, and he will wistfully say "We will always have Paris." |

Decoy Protagonist: In the prologue, Don R. Ketype is set up to be a classical protagonist of a Cosmic Horror Story, as a Private Detective who stumbles upon something horrible he wish he hadn't (heck, his name even spells it out pretty clearly). But in short order, he is knocked out and abducted by members of the local cult, and the perspective switches over to Buzz instead. Don becomes a Deuteragonist instead. |

A Dog Named "Dog": After Kitteh starts to talk, Buzz asks her if he should still call her "Kitteh", noticing that the name seems kind of stupid to say out loud now that she can talk back. Kitteh admits that the name is kind of dumb, but also points out he has been calling her that for years already, so they might as well stick with it. |
