It’s been available on Steam for a few months now, but from tomorrow (May 10th) the action RPG roguelite game, inspired by HP Lovecraft and developed by Blini Games will be hitting xBox One, PS4 and the Nintendo Switch. In the Lovecraftian world, you’ll find all sorts of myths and monsters, and challenges that will test your very sanity.
Lovecraft’s
Untold Stories let’s you experience first-hand the dark and cosmic horror
created by HP Lovecraft. You’ll investigate dark and foreboding locations, from
a creepy Victorian Mansion and an old abandoned hospital filled with failed
experiments, or jungles filled with dark tribal rituals. The levels not only
depend on your character, but are also randomly generated ensuring a different
playthrough experience every time.
There are
five characters, and therefore five different ways to play, and five storylines
to uncover. There’s the private detective, a witch, a thief, a
professor, and even a ghoul. Every character has their own stats, weapons and
combat moves providing you with five completely different playthrough
experiences.
The Detective is your balanced character with average
health and stamina
The Professor is ranged combat with lower health
but a special shield offered by his weapon
The Witch, is the glass cannon, high fire and
ice damage but very low health
The Thief, stealth plus melee combat
The Ghoul has high damage, high health and can
regenerate his health, but he is unable to use medkits
Insanity lurks around every corner and every decision you
make can have devastating effects on your own mind. As you investigate, there
are situations where your decisions can lead to the unhinging of your own mind.
In order to face The Old Ones, you need knowledge and you can only find that by
exploring. Those who go mad under the influence of the Mythos, kill themselves
to escape the torment. Though, a mind is resilient and can recover.
