Indie studio Kuuasema has announced the real-time tactics game Cthulhu Keeper, in which the player takes on the role of a cult leader. You will build your camp, embark on various missions, and summon and control creatures from Lovecraft’s bestiary.
Embrace the Horrors of the Deep
Of course, we are unlikely to control Cthulhu or the other Ancients themselves, but creatures of smaller caliber are available: googs, deep-sea creatures, elders, shoggoths, mi-gos, and more.
Game Synopsis
In this Lovecraft-inspired real-time tactics game, you play as a 1920s cult leader on a mission for the Old Ones. Build your cult, summon terrifying monsters, and complete stealthy tactical missions to spread madness and amass power! In Cthulhu Keeper, you are the cosmic horror.
Variety of Missions
The developers promise a variety of missions, from stealing artifacts to recruiting new acolytes. Monsters will have unique strengths and weaknesses and prefer to live in certain conditions. Your base is not always safe either: the detectives we often play as in Lovecraft’s works can find and break into your base – somewhat reminiscent of the Evil Genius series.
Game Development and Release
Cthulhu Keeper is being developed for PC. As of now, it has no official release date, leaving fans eagerly anticipating more updates and glimpses into this dark and mysterious world.
Conclusion
Cthulhu Keeper promises to immerse players into the dark and thrilling universe of Lovecraftian horror, combining strategic gameplay with a richly detailed narrative. Will you be able to harness the power of the Old Ones and lead your cult to greatness?
Huh. Odd that Deep Ones aren’t on what appears to be the Cthulhu path
