Kuuasema, the Finnish game studio behind Bike Unchained 3 and Astro Blade, has announced its latest project: Cthulhu Keeper. This dark fantasy strategy game blends stealth with intricate tactical gameplay, drawing inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft's unsettling stories and the beloved Dungeon Keeper. Players will delve into the shadows.
The game is set in the mysterious 1920s. Players lead a burgeoning doomsday cult, constructing a hidden base to shelter their followers and the terrifying creatures they summon. Missions involve acquiring forbidden artifacts, expanding their following, and outsmarting the persistent police. Each monstrous recruit demands a specially designed chamber, built using ancient grimoires and mysterious relics. The underground fortress must be reinforced against rival cults and authorities with cunning traps and vigilant guards.
Players summon nightmarish beings using arcane texts and lost artifacts, each requiring a unique habitat. Maintaining secrecy is paramount; evading the law and undermining rival groups is crucial for survival. Success hinges on strategic defenses, careful planning, and ruthless efficiency.
Cthulhu Keeper is slated for a Steam release in the near future, though a precise date remains unannounced.
