Cthulhu Awakens is a mobile-first, mid-core match-3 RPG, mystery game based on the renowned Cthulhu mythology. Crafted to enthrall enthusiasts of horror, puzzles, storytelling, and role-playing progression, the game takes place in the gritty 1920s. The game has web2 (Free-to-Play) and web3 (Digital Collectable) components.

At its core, Cthulhu Awakens stands on three pillars of design:

Match-3 Puzzle: The core combat is handled through a simple yet addictive puzzle mechanic. A seemingly "casual" approach harbors astounding depth, with near-endless permutations of color dynamics, Enemy Abilities, Agent Abilities, powerups, combinations, blockers, and Summon mechanics.

RPG: You control a shadowy organization that recruits characters, known as "Agents," to combat the evil forces of Cthulhu. As you progress, you will build a base of operations and improve your Agents' Abilities (oh, and keep them from the ever-present threat of Insanity!) As you play, Agents will find Artifacts, research monsters, gain levels and improve weaponry.

Gripping Epic Tale: An expansive narrative of unimaginable complexity sees you adventure from Egypt to London and beyond, as the TRUE situation unfolds before you. Learn clues and piece together bits of information from occultists to corrupt politicians as you slowly learn the horrible truth of the cosmic madness that threatens to envelop the whole globe!
