Does anyone know of a Call of Cthlulhu cRPG, because I was interested in Cyclopean and well it was canceled. So has anybody found Call of Cthulhu cRPG or am I looking for the impossible.
Not that I'm aware of.
Mobygames list of H.P. Lovecraft games isn't aware of one either.

I'd say Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth from Bethesda comes probably closest, but still is "just" a first-person action-adventure game.
Penny Arcade Adventures are the best Cthulhu cRPGs.

Well, they're Lovecraftian. If Lovecraft was the son of Terry Pratchett. We're talking about a cult that worships old gods here. And consists entirely of mimes.

The other game from from Zeboyd games, Breath of Death VII, is also included. So, for every game you pay one euro ;-)

How handy, RPS published a review of this today. I may have to get it, grew up on consoles and have always been a big JRPG fan.

Personally, I bought it, because I like old-school jRPGs and more importantly because paying 2 euros to supports a developer who actually wants to move to the PC is a bargain.

More indie devs producing RPGs on the PC is a good thing, considering that most AAA titles in that genre end up being disappointing to me.

For actual Cthulhu fans, however, don't expect this game to actually have anything to do with the books. The game isn't inspired by the Lovecraftian Cthulhu imo, the "hero" is much too human for that. It's more a classical jRPG with a twist.
Just got it from Steam Cthulhu Saves The World & Breath of Death VII double pack for 1.79 euro. Looks like a steal.
Got also Dungeons of Dredmore, looks like I'm gong old school this summer.
Are they any good RPGwise?
Gameplay-wise they are just like the first 3 Final Fantasy games and have great writing with lots of humor.
Dungeons of Dredmor is a classic roguelike.
Nice, niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. :-D
just played through ~1hr of cthulhu and its GREAT, the writing is very nice, I agree with everything mentioned in the RPS review above, the magic point system is a bit annoying as well as random battles, but for $3 its BEYOND theft.
