About Lovecraft's Untold Stories

Five investigators have different stories, weapons and abilities, and the randomized levels vary with the chosen character. Gathering information prepares your mind for encounters with the Great Old Ones, but exploration also exposes you to decisions that can damage your sanity. Finding all the information requires playing across the cast. Loss of sanity can end an investigator’s life, although ways to recover sanity exist.

  • Collect and improve weapons, equipment and artifacts, and find clues that open secret levels and further stories.
