Finnish game developer Kuuasema has unveiled an exciting new project titled "Cthulu Keeper," a comedic strategy game that draws inspiration from the eerie works of H.P. Lovecraft and echoes the thematic essence of Bullfrog's 1997 classic, Dungeon Keeper. This eagerly anticipated game is currently under development for PC, promising a unique blend of humor and horror.
Set in the mysterious 1920s, players will embark on a dark journey to "build your very own cult and generate fear and chaos around you," as stated by the developers. The gameplay revolves around constructing and expanding a sinister lair, delving into forbidden research, and summoning a variety of Lovecraftian monsters. To extend your influence, you'll recruit cultists, spread your message on the streets, and fulfill various objectives. However, be prepared to face challenges from rival cults and authorities, utilizing traps and spells to safeguard your domain.
