On February 17th, Finnish game developer Kuuasema, who has also created Angry Birds Champions in 2018 according to IGN, has announced Cthulhu Keeper, a brand new strategy game. The game has no release date as of yet, but players who are interested in the game are able to add the game to their wishlist on Steam. It is yet to be said if the game is coming to consoles.

Cthulhu Keeper is a real-time tactics and dungeon-building game inspired by the work of H.P Lovecraft, according to the description in the announcement trailer. In this game, you will “build your very own cult and generate fear and chaos around you,” also according to the YouTube description.

Cthulhu Keeper is set in the 1920s, where the player takes the role of a cult leader who is spreading dark influences on the people. Players can build and expand their lair, summon creatures, and orchestrate sinister missions.

Players can plan and execute missions in the outside world. According to the Steam page, “Each mission presents unique objectives, like capturing valuable targets or escaping undetected. Customize your cult leader and monsters for each mission, equipping them with helpful items and powers.”

Players can build and expand their lair and also create ritual rooms as well for summoning the monstrous creatures that will help with the missions. Players can also place defenses to protect their lair from intruders such as the police, rival cults, and detectives. Players will be able to give their cultists tasks such as research, monster care, and trap setting.

The Steam page says this about summoning monsters, “Use the power of ancient tomes and artifacts to summon creatures from Lovecraft’s mythos. Each monster brings unique abilities and needs a fitting habitat, such as shadowed caves or occult gardens. Choose carefully: a stealthy Shambler can move unnoticed, while a powerful Mi-Go dominates the skies.”
