Lovecraft Tales is set in the dark universe created by H.P. Lovecraft. It’s a classical point-and-click horror adventure with survival and RPG elements. The game is based on the Lovecraft story The Whisperer in Darkness.

The game’s open world is populated with dark secrets, clandestine cults and atrocious cosmic beings. It will feature a day-night cycle and advanced player parameters such as insanity and hunger.

It will take place in beautiful hand-painted 2D environments inspired by 19th century paintings of artists such as Caspar David Friedrich. The game’s story will be non-linear.

The player will face difficult choices and will have to interpret the narrative through loosely connected notes, newspaper articles and letters. IOW, Lovecraft Tales won’t be holding your hand.

Death will be possible, either permanently or otherwise. Different game modes will be offered in order to satisfy both hardcore and more casual players.

Lovecraft Tales will also be episodic. An Indiegogo campaign for Episode One is in progress and will run for a month. A playable pre-alpha demo may be downloaded from the page. Developer CVLT is looking to raise at least $17,000. The plan is to release the episode for Windows, Mac and Linux at a date TBD.
