About this game

Lovecraft’s Untold Stories is an action rogue-lite with RPG elements. You explore randomly generated levels based on the H.P. Lovecraft stories, fighting cultists and all kinds of monsters from the Mythos, improving your weapons and gear, solving puzzles and challenges, and looking for clues and knowledge to defeat the Great Old Ones and the Outer Gods.

LIVE H.P. LOVECRAFT’S STORIES

Lovecraft’s Untold Stories is based on H.P. Lovecraft’s stories. You will experience first-hand the cosmic horror created by the genius of Providence. Every character will go through an investigation that will take them through different locations, from the creepy old Victorian mansion to the abandoned hospital where forbidden experiments take place or the jungle where lost tribes celebrate forgotten rituals, just to name a few. Levels are randomly generated: it will be a different experience every time you play. Also, they vary depending on the character you’re playing with. Look for items and clues to unlock secrets and new stories.

5 CHARACTERS, 5 WAYS OF FIGHTING THE MYTHOS

You can play as 5 different characters, each with a different playstyle and storyline. A private detective, a witch, a thief, a professor, and even a ghoul—each with different stats, weapons, and combat moves, creating five entirely different gameplay experiences. The Detective offers a balanced playstyle, with average Health and Stamina. The Professor is a specialist in ranged combat, with less Health and a special shield granted by his weapon, the Tillinghast. The Witch does a lot of damage, has teleport abilities and elemental shields of fire and ice, but also a very low Health. The Thief is a specialist in melée combat that takes advantage of its stealth to maximize her damage. The ghoul does a lot of melée damage, has a high Health and regenerates itself, but can’t use medkits at all.

Ratings and reviews

A great game (also on PC). Unfortunately, the touch controls are just too imprecise. This becomes painfully obvious at the first boss fight. If I ever buy another controller for my phone again, this will be the first game I come back to but until then, since I own the game on Steam, I'll stick to playing it on PC with a controller instead of playing this port. It's an excellent port, but unfortunately, touch controls can't match the precision of a stick or even a D-pad. Controller required!

The aspect ratio for phones like sony Xperia 5 ii is wrong. The game is filling the screen completely which blocks out half the map. The tutorial is unchanged from the pc version. It tells you about mouse and keyboard and not touch controls. There are no video setting options to remedy the screen issues. I'd understand if this was early access but this is a full price premium game. So no. Down voted.

I don't understand why people are giving this game anything less than 4 stars. I admit that The Great Old Ones are undefeatable, but I like to think this is a reimagined Lovecraftian tale. What if we could defeat them? Everything about this game is great, the only downside may be the parasites but it is still fun. This is one of the only few Lovecraftian games, and not just 'inspired' by it. As a fan of Cthulhu mythos, I highly appreciate this game. I completely got lost in the atmosphere!
