Gameplay

Presently you play as an unnamed traveler of the ruins of Cthulhu, with different Cosmic Horror entities spawning in a pseudo random fashion.

Stealth Mechanics

The primary game mechanics are Lure, Stun, and Trap. Each successful hit will gradually accumilate a blood trail that allows the main antagonist, a private detective from Bequest De Cendres, to track your whereabouts. This is currently set to auto game over, but presently experimenting with using regular expressions to simulate forensics testing, rather than immediatly ending the game. If the enemy has the initiative, this switches to an all text front view battle system.

Battle Mechanics

The game will periodicall check for how many monsters are left on the screen, and you will have diminishing returns the more that you try to grind that increases the strength of your MC, which is designed to contrast with game that reward leveling up. Other than certain things I haven't translated, the primary UI will be in Francais or Nihongo, or hybrid port-manteau.

A random article of clothing will gradually wear and tear until you eventually lose that garment, requiring you to either make your own clothes, or hire a shoe carpenter. Your pet spider can either heal, defend, or bite you. The players stats is always scaled to be slightly less than the enemy's enemies stats for balancing difficulty. The primary commands are epee, ishi, and bache.
