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 a role steeped in sinister ambition.
The game is set in the shadowy 1920s, placing you at the helm of a burgeoning doomsday cult. Your task is to build a clandestine lair, a hidden sanctuary for your followers and the terrifying creatures you summon. These monstrous entities will be dispatched on missions to acquire forbidden artifacts, expand your cult's influence by recruiting new members, and evade the persistent scrutiny of the police. Each summoned horror demands a specifically designed chamber, crafted using ancient grimoires and mysterious relics. Furthermore, your underground haven needs robust defenses against rival cults and government agents, requiring the strategic placement of traps and loyal guards.
Harnessing the power of arcane texts and long-forgotten artifacts, you'll summon unspeakable beings, each requiring a unique habitat within your lair. Maintaining secrecy is paramount—outwitting the authorities and undermining competing factions is vital for your cult's survival. Strategic planning, cunning tactics, and robust defenses will be the keys to your success.
Cthulhu Keeper is slated for release on Steam in the near future, though a precise launch date remains unannounced.
