Play as one of four cultists intent on destroying the world by summoning an Ancient Horror.

Battle investigators, gangs, corrupt cops and horrors from the Depths to bring about the end of the world!

• Across 113 events with 370 potential story outcomes.
• Fulfil 1 of 24 roles with 56 role feedback stories.
