Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace is an investigation game served with turn-based combat, set in the haunted worlds of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos.

Featuring an original story, Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace is a squad-based narrative adventure game that plunges players into the engrossing pulp world of 1920s America, offering a mix of exploration, investigation and tactical RPG to combat unseen supernatural and psychological horrors true to the Lovecraftian spirit.

The year is 1926, and a professor of astronomy is found dead in her mansion, the apparent victim of a heinous murder. Players must pick from 12 of the most iconic protagonists from the Arkham Horror universe, each with a unique skill set, and assemble a team of investigators to uncover the secrets behind this mysterious death.

Find clues, perform interrogations and progress through nine chapters as the story unfolds. Your investigation will take you to visit  shadowed institutions and mysterious locales, ranging from Miskatonic University, the Arkham Asylum, and the bayous of Louisiana. 


In the new trailer showcasing the events that set the story’s wheels in motion, Asmodee Digital gives players a glimpse of the horrors that await them in iconic locations from H.P. Lovecraft's fantastical universe.

Ahead of launch, players can still pre-order Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace at a 20% discount on Steam, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch for $15.99 / 15,99 € until the game’s release; at launch, the game will be available for $19.99 / 19.99€.

As the investigators get closer to their goal, your squad will have to face curious science, living nightmares, and a sinister cult, whose mad scheme is to bring about the end of everything. Use a large variety of melee and ranged weapons, as well as powerful items and devastating magic spells to defeat your opponents in turn-based combat; while you attempt to retain your sanity.

As you face off against Lovecraftian horrors, your investigators will descend deeper into the depths of madness, affecting their level of sanity and causing traumas that will impact the course of your investigation. Care about your sanity and make the right choices … the Ancient Ones are preparing their return.

Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace, previously called Mansions of Madness: Mother’s Embrace, is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC (Steam) on March 23, 2021 for $19.99 / 19,99 €.
