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 elements with intricate tactical gameplay, drawing inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic horror and the cult classic Dungeon Keeper. Players will delve into the shadows, embracing the role of a burgeoning doomsday cult leader.
The game is set in the shadowy 1920s. Players build and manage a hidden underground lair, a sanctuary for their followers and the terrifying creatures they summon. Missions involve acquiring forbidden artifacts, expanding the cult's membership, and outsmarting the persistent authorities. Each monstrous minion demands a specifically designed chamber, constructed using arcane grimoires and mysterious relics. The lair itself must be fortified with cunning traps and vigilant guards to repel rival cults and government agents.
Players will summon a menagerie of Lovecraftian horrors, each requiring a unique habitat. Maintaining secrecy is paramount; evading the law and undermining competing factions are vital for survival. Strategic planning, robust defenses, and a ruthless approach will determine the cult's success.
Cthulhu Keeper is slated for a Steam release in the near future, though a precise launch date remains unannounced.
