The acclaimed Finnish studio Kuuasema, renowned for their work on Bike Unchained 3 and Astro Blade, has introduced their latest project: Cthulhu Keeper. This sinister fantasy strategy game masterfully blends stealth mechanics with deep tactical gameplay, drawing heavily from the haunting narratives of H.P. Lovecraft and the iconic Dungeon Keeper. Players are invited to delve into the darkness and lead a burgeoning doomsday cult.
Set against the eerie atmosphere of the 1920s, Cthulhu Keeper places you at the helm of a burgeoning cult. Your mission is to build a concealed lair that will serve as the sanctuary for your devoted followers and the eldritch beings you summon. These minions will be dispatched on critical missions to secure forbidden artifacts, enlist new members, and evade the vigilant eye of the law. Each monstrous entity you bring into existence demands a specially crafted chamber, constructed with the aid of ancient grimoires and enigmatic relics. Furthermore, your subterranean fortress must be safeguarded against rival cults and government agents using cunning traps and vigilant guards.
Leveraging the power of arcane tomes and long-lost artifacts, players can summon a variety of unspeakable creatures, each requiring a unique habitat. Maintaining secrecy is paramount; avoiding detection by authorities and undermining rival factions are essential for your cult's survival. Success hinges on strategic defenses, meticulous planning, and a ruthless approach to challenges.
Cthulhu Keeper is slated for a "soon" release on Steam, though an exact launch date has yet to be announced by the developers.
