Take a deep dive into the twisted universe of H.P. Lovecraft with this oversized narrative RPG. Slip into the intertwined souls of Mark, Anna or Victor, surrounded by the Cult and its ilk, during the chaos of 1929, as Nyarlathotep, the cosmic horror, strives to be reborn and enslave humankind.

FEATURES

An Intense, Faithful Lovecraftian Adventure
In HPL: Nyarlathotep Rising, you take on the role of one of three characters, guiding them physically and psychologically through the upcoming turmoil: Mark, a troubled veteran of the Great War, Anna, a brilliant young artist, or Victor, a gifted student of the arcane lore.

Each has different psychic predispositions about the world around them, and your decisions drive both the fate of your current character destiny, and that of the two other characters who evolve alongside you in the story you're writing.

In your quest for the truth, you will travel the world, and other planes of reality. From London to New York, via the Suffolk lands and other mysterious places, your encounters will shake your confidence in yourself and in others. Determine your allies and enemies, and maybe even find love in the midst of all this madness.

Throughout your adventure, collect information and clues, artefacts, weapons and spells to help you face the cultists and other monsters that are never far away.

Your Choices Drive Souls and Write the Story
Your interactions with the other characters, your discoveries, your questions, your use of objects, all influence the rest of the scenario and lead to multiple possible endings.

The decisions you make affect the soul you have taken control of and its characteristics: Body, Resolution, Spirit, Insight and Charisma. The development of these characteristics determines the options available to you in the future.

As you gain knowledge, so does madness. Are you sure of what you believe, who you think you are and where your decisions are taking you?

Multiple Endings Madness
Faithful to Lovecraft's universe, you write unique stories for Mark, Anna or Victor. Ordinary people confronted with extraordinary events at a critical moment for humanity.

Each character you control evolves according to your choices, offering multiple alternate endings.

Explore the varied narrative arcs of the characters in this oversized interactive novel, and immerse yourself ever more deeply in the universe of H.P. Lovecraft. Try to save your loved ones, fight the Mythos and its minions, or guide humanity to a new level of perception and understanding of the universe.
