Kuuasema, the Finnish game studio behind the popular titles Bike Unchained 3 and Astro Blade, has announced their latest project: Cthulhu Keeper. This dark fantasy strategy game blends stealth gameplay with intricate tactical elements, drawing inspiration from the works of H.P. Lovecraft and the classic Dungeon Keeper. Players will delve into the shadows, embracing the role of a burgeoning doomsday cult leader.
The game is set in the ominous atmosphere of the 1920s. As the cult leader, you'll build a clandestine lair to accommodate your followers and the terrifying creatures you summon. Your minions will undertake missions to acquire forbidden artifacts, expand your following, and evade the persistent scrutiny of the authorities. Each monstrous recruit demands a specifically designed chamber, constructed using ancient grimoires and mysterious relics. Simultaneously, you must fortify your underground base against rival cults and government agents, utilizing cunning traps and unwavering guards.
Harnessing the power of arcane texts and long-forgotten artifacts, you'll summon horrific beings, each requiring a unique habitat within your lair. Maintaining secrecy is paramount; outsmarting the law and undermining competing factions will be vital for your cult's survival. Strategic planning, clever defenses, and ruthless tactics will dictate the success or failure of your sinister enterprise.
Cthulhu Keeper is slated for release on Steam in the near future, though a precise launch date remains unannounced.
