Those of you needing another Lovecraftian RPG to go alongside Panstasz’ World of Horror should keep an eye on Why Not AI and Touched by Grace’s HPL: Nyarlathotep Rising. Set for release in Q4 2023 on Steam, this psychological horror visual novel sees you travel the world and other planes of reality in order to prevent the enslavement of humanity.
Set amidst the fallout of a world shaken by the Wall Street crash of 1929, Nyarlathotep Rising sees you taking control of one of three people, each has different psychic predispositions about the world around them. You must guide them physically and psychologically through the upcoming turmoil, as cultists seek the rebirth of Nyarlathotep. Your decisions drive both the fate of your current character’s destiny, and that of the two other characters who evolve alongside you.
Throughout your adventure, collect information and clues, artifacts, weapons and spells to help you face the cultists and other unseen monsters. Your interactions with the other characters, your discoveries, your questions, your use of objects, all influence the rest of the scenario and lead to one of many possible endings.
Seeing as this is an RPG, the decisions you make affect your chosen character and their characteristics in Body, Resolution, Spirit, Insight and Charisma. Obviously, developing these characteristics determines what your character is able to do, given the situation. However, as your knowledge increases, so does your character’s madness. Are you sure of what you believe, who you think you are and where your decisions are taking you?
