Remnants of the Old Ones

Step into a Lovecraftian universe where the line between science and occult danger dissolves. In a Prohibition-era America, cults spread influence while the Syndicate, government authorities, and Miskatonic University all vie for power. Your task is to lead a secret organization dedicated to stopping a ritual that could awaken a Great Old One.

Core pillars

• Build networks of informants to map cults, their locations, and covert activities, gathering critical intelligence to stay one step ahead.
• Recruit agents with unusual profiles, nurture their skills, and safeguard their physical and mental stability as they face the unspeakable.
• Manage scarce resources, upgrade facilities, and extend your influence over the government, the Syndicate, and Miskatonic University to disrupt occult operations.
• undertake missions that blend branching narratives with tactical, turn-based combat, where teamwork and clever synergies determine success.

Gameplay depth

• From a strategic map, allocate resources, deploy teams, and plan countermeasures against rival factions and cultists.
• Combine your agents’ abilities to unleash devastating synergies in field missions and confront the unimaginable forces gathering against humanity.
• Decisions shape your agents’ destinies; meticulous preparation is essential to curb the whims of fate and prevent catastrophe.

Atmosphere and stakes

Immerse yourself in a claustrophobic, oppressive mood where ancient secrets press at the edge of reality. The end times feel near as cults seek the attention of a Great Old One, and the slow rot of complacency threatens to swallow civilization.

Goal

Led by you, your agents must thwart the cults before they complete their ritual. The knowledge you gain comes at a price—some truths are too heavy to bear, and not every recruit will survive the ordeal.
