The renowned Finnish studio Kuuasema, celebrated for their work on Bike Unchained 3 and Astro Blade, has now introduced their latest project: Cthulhu Keeper. This sinister fantasy strategy game masterfully blends stealth mechanics with intricate tactical gameplay, drawing inspiration from the haunting narratives of H.P. Lovecraft and the iconic Dungeon Keeper. Players are invited to delve into the darkness and lead a doomsday cult in this gripping new title.
Set against the backdrop of the eerie 1920s, Cthulhu Keeper places you at the helm of a burgeoning cult. Your mission is to build a clandestine lair that will serve as a sanctuary for your devoted followers and the otherworldly beings you summon. These minions will be dispatched on perilous missions to secure forbidden artifacts, attract new recruits, and evade the vigilant eyes of the law. Each summoned creature demands a uniquely designed chamber, crafted with the aid of ancient grimoires and enigmatic relics. Additionally, your subterranean haven must be safeguarded against rival cults and government forces, using cunning traps and formidable guards.
Harnessing the power of arcane tomes and long-lost artifacts, you'll summon horrific entities, each requiring a tailored habitat. However, maintaining secrecy is paramount. Avoiding detection by the authorities and undermining rival factions are essential for the survival of your cult. Success hinges on clever defenses, strategic foresight, and ruthless cunning.
Cthulhu Keeper is slated for a "soon" release on Steam, though Kuuasema has not yet disclosed a precise launch date. Keep an eye out for more details as the release approaches.
