Summary
From the publisher's web site:
It's the perfect night! As a devoted cultist of the Grand Octopus, you sneak into the celebrated English university to search for the four ingredients necessary to complete the magic ritual that will allow Him to return to this world. But it turns out others have the same idea.
Stealthily gather what you need while keeping an eye on the other cultists and thwarting them when possible. Sometimes clever negotiations are needed. Be the first to complete the task and you will be able to invoke the Grand Octopus and earn His Favor.
Comments / Trivia
This game was originally published in French by Superlude, also in 2014.
This game avoids using the names of any Cthulhu Mythos creatures or locations. For example, the game is about a "Grand Octopus" with divine powers dreaming on the ocean floor in his "Lost City" until his cultists can revive him.
