Gameplay[]
A group of players (up to 5) work together to stop a group of Old One worshiping cultists who are attempting to awaken an Elder God. To achieve this, they will need to fight through various monsters and cultists, disrupt the ritual of the cultists, and deal with the Elder God when it inevitably awakens.
The game has a series of episodes, each one provides a different map, set of monsters, and methods of disrupting the ritual. The base game comes with six episodes.
The base game comes with two Elder Gods: Cthulhu and Hastur. Each has different mechanics that can affect the players and monsters, both before and after the ritual is disrupted.
