An original sci-fi/horror tabletop role playing game, Cthulhu Dreamt is making headlines for smashing its Kickstarter goal in just 30 minutes of the project being unleashed on the platform.
At the time of writing this article, 625 backers have pledged a whopping $63,800 to the Cthulhu Dreamt Kickstarter campaign, shattering the original goal of just $10,000.
In other words, it’s DEFINITELY happening. So what is Cthulhu Dreamt, you ask?
The team explains the unique project, “Cthulhu Dreamt is a sci-fi horror Tabletop RPG and Original Soundtrack where you and your team of Survivors will explore a near-future Earth that is suffering under the influence of Cthulhu and his cosmic denizens. Using your talents, special tech from the secret government agency Salien-Welf, and even the tools of the old ones, you must rescue one of the few scientists who can help.”
“Horror, Science Fiction, and Cthulhu lovers will delight at the semi-futuristic approach to the mythos, and modern take towards the gameplay-focused storytelling,” they continue.
What makes Cthulhu Dreamt particularly unique is its accompanying soundtrack, which features over 3 hours of original music that will escort you through the entire campaign.
“Immersion is taken to new depths when the original soundtrack is brought into the mix, with cinematic tracks, metal music, and ambient soundscapes made specifically to score the campaign.”
Set on a near-future Earth, this project offers a fresh take on Cthulhu by imagining the horror occurring in our world with the technology of the year 2034. Players will journey across the world, attempting a rescue mission unlike any other, trying to circumvent the abominations in their way, as the reality of their world unravels before their eyes.
Based on an original D12 ruleset (designed by Adam Baffoni, creator of the Tether RPG) with an emphasis on travel and survival, characters (and players) will have to work together to survive against not only the horrifying otherworldly creatures, but also the harsh environments of the Earth… and beyond.
The game features a custom soundtrack, with songs composed specifically for scenes in the main campaign of the book. Facilitators will be able to scan QR codes present in the book to play original songs composed specifically to highlight cinematic moments from the campaign.
