The renowned Finnish studio Kuuasema, celebrated for their work on Bike Unchained 3 and Astro Blade, has now introduced their latest masterpiece: Cthulhu Keeper. This sinister fantasy strategy game masterfully blends stealth mechanics with intricate tactical gameplay, drawing inspiration from the haunting narratives of H.P. Lovecraft and the cult-classic Dungeon Keeper. In Cthulhu Keeper, players are invited to delve into the shadows and embrace the darkness.
Set against the eerie backdrop of the 1920s, Cthulhu Keeper places you at the helm of a burgeoning doomsday cult. Your mission is to construct a hidden lair to shelter your devoted followers and the eldritch horrors you summon. You'll dispatch them on perilous missions to retrieve forbidden artifacts, recruit new believers, and evade the ever-watchful eyes of the police. Each monstrous entity demands a meticulously designed chamber, crafted with ancient grimoires and mysterious relics. Simultaneously, you must fortify your underground sanctuary against rival cults and government enforcers using devious traps and relentless guards.
Harnessing the power of arcane tomes and long-lost artifacts, players can summon abominable creatures, each requiring a tailored dwelling. However, maintaining secrecy is paramount—evading the law and sabotaging competing factions will be crucial for your survival. Your success hinges on clever defenses, strategic planning, and ruthless cunning.
Cthulhu Keeper is slated to launch on Steam "soon," though Kuuasema has yet to confirm an exact release date. Stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling new addition to the world of strategy gaming.
