Our take on CTHULOOT
The presentation gives cosmic mystery and ancient entities prominent billing, but the stated activity is a compact arcade loop of exploration, collection, skill use, and shared loot risk. The listing provides little detail about the structure or depth of the mysteries beyond those mechanics.
What is CTHULOOT?
CTHULOOT is a cooperative arcade game about exploring strange realms and collecting treasures connected to the Great Old Ones.
Up to four players can join online through Remote Play Together with one copy of the game. Teams of looters search spaces between reality and madness, recover ancestral relics, and use supernatural watches to gain new skills. The collected treasures support Lord Morgaz'han's return to his place among the Great Old Ones. Cooperation, agility, and cthonic chanting are part of solving the mysteries encountered during expeditions. Players must also protect their loot, since losing items can drag down the team. Tentacles and the risk of invoking the ancient beings add threats to the arcade-style exploration.
