In Miskatonic, players take control of the power of ancient being, Labgoroth, to control the malleable psyches of puny humans. Harness their fear and prey on their ignorance to  summon into their realm and wreak havoc. Labgoroth has trapped four unassuming victims into his lair. Make the maze, steer subconsciouses, and facilitate fear to grow your power. You must act fast, however. As time passes, fear erodes and power fades. Rage against the dying of the dark and stuff out all hopes to achieve total control.

based on this game i bet that jack guy is like super cool or whatever

I might be biased bc the writer is like one of my besties but I think the writing in this is super good. Great job by everyone else on the team as well. Its a little rough around the edges but I can tell this was a labor of love from everyone involved. The mechanics are engaging, the story is cool, all around solid game.
