Stygian: Reign Of The Old Ones is an RPG set in Arkham, the big Cthulhu mythos town, after it’s been zapped into another dimension of unending horror and madness from which none can hope to escape. A bit like living in England, then.
Although the whole Cthulhu business isn’t a particularly uncommon inspiration for games these days, this one is definitely going for something a bit more complex than simply fighting off gibbering robey boys and tentaculats. “The struggle in Stygian is not to save the world,” says its Steam page, “for that battle is lost already. Pursue your own goals in these end times: salvation, vendetta, or perhaps something darker.” I’ll have something darker, please.
I’ll have a trailer and some thoughts, too, having played it for a wee while.
