Lovecraft's wet dream

Great lovecraftian-inspired RPG/Management Game, even if the RNG can make small mistakes snowball very quickly, which can be a little frustrating. This game is extremely coherent in term of themes and gameplay, and that alone is enough to make it special. It is a lovecraftian-inspired game in which your ancestor, in his attempt to achieve great power, completely spoils the land with terrible horrors and release an eldrich creature in the labyrinthic basement of your ancestral house. You are fighting what cannot be vanquished, and must prove yourself up to the challenge by inhumane effort, to the risk of turning yourself into a (metaphorical) monster. In term of gameplay, it means that the game is unforgiving on mistakes, even unfair at some points, but never unbeatable. This difficulty is also fueled by the need to manage a stable Hamlet/Base and group of heroes, in order to defeat the challenges in your way. Thoses elements will force you, in order to beat the game, to let go of your morality, for the mission you were assigned (or the sheer will to vin) prevails everything, even the life of your recruits.
