This really reads to me more like a sourcebook for Call of Cthulhu than a game in its own right. That's not a bad thing by any means - there's some good ideas for new types of characters for modern games in this, and that's welcome, although they are a bit hit and miss.
But I doubt I'll use it much partly because of the attitude of the authors - it's one thing to believe you've got a fresh new slant on the Mythos, it's another to attack other Mythos games as having got it wrong for decades because you don't like their take on it. Especially when so much of what you are doing seems heavily based on it.
Worth checking out certainly if you are looking for something new in the Mythos. There's some freshness there.
