THE LEGACY OF JACK WALTERS
Call of the Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (2005)
Jack Walters was an amazing police officer, seemingly able to solve cases even when there was no evidence to go off. One day in 1915, Jack was tasked with going to a mansion to meet some cultists who insisted to the police that Jack go alone.
It turned out these cultists were Yithians who were able to spy on Jack, unbeknownst to him.
Six years passed until Jack woke up with very little memory of the past six years, and no context to anything he could remember. He had been commited to Arkham Asylum in the mean time, but was able to get out and resume his post as a private eye.
Jack was then assigned to go to the coastal town of Innsmouth to retrieve an agent who had gone missing there, only to uncover that the entire town was a part of another cult. Jack left but returned with the support of the military.
This was when Jack uncovered the truth about his past, his connection to the Yithians, and how he was able to solve cases so easily.
It all became too much for Jack, who eventually hung himself, unable to cope with the truth.
So why would anyone be interested in someone like that? Who are the Microsoft Elite?

Author's Note
Jack didn't really have a lot of offensive options, so I took some liberties and dove further into H.P. Lovecraft lore and dug up some weapons from the era from Jack to use. Other than that, I can't say much about this game.
