In Miskatonic, players take control of the power of ancient being, Labgoroth, to control the malleable psyches of puny humans. Harness their fear and prey on their ignorance to summon into their realm and wreak havoc. Labgoroth has trapped four unassuming victims into his lair. Make the maze, steer subconsciouses, and facilitate fear to grow your power. You must act fast, however. As time passes, fear erodes and power fades. Rage against the dying of the dark and stuff out all hopes to achieve total control.
Each turn, you will engage in dialogue with your victims psyches where every choice matters. Depending on their outcome, the humans will start to behave differently. Then, you can use their cultists to manipulate the labyrinth and prevent the humans from escaping. Balance influence and information against the clock in order to summon into the human realm and reign with fear.聽
Incept your victims:聽Using your omniscient powers, incept your victims with thoughts that bring them dread, fear, and anxiety. This will damage their confidence and make it all the easier to keep them trapped forever.聽
Manipulate the maze: By sending your loyal band of cultists on missions, you can unlock new powers to stop the humans from escaping. Paralyze them with mind-bending items, confuse them by erecting walls that weren't there before, and switch rooms before they have the chance to find any answers.
Manage your cult: Your influence is powerful, but is not limitless. Make sure that you continuously recruit more cultists so that your reign can spread throughout the land.聽聽
