Army of Tentacles: (Not) A Cthulhu Dating Sim

Army of Tentacles: (Not) A Cthulhu Dating Sim

EDIT June 20, 2016: The New Game+ DLC is here!

The DLC improves the game a fair bit in my opinion. I am a sucker for dating sims, as my library can attest. This one keeps it interesting by not letting you date everyone at once, and having the characters actually mention something about it. Unfortunately, no one appears to be polyamorous, but there’s definitely more than just heterosexuality, which I know a lot of people look for in a game. The quests here are still just as ridiculous, but I grew even more attached to characters, especially ones I didn’t know you could recruit in the base game! It’s zany, keeps the humour, and lets the player in on the inner thoughts of various characters. Also university is always a fun setting to play a game in.

I received this game for free as a curator connect offer for my group Visual novel, JRPG, Anime, and bought the DLCs with my own money. Army of Tentacles: (Not) A Cthulhu Dating Sim is a supernatural parody visual novel with RPG elements by Stegalosaurus Game Development. It features a female or male protagonist by the name of Perry Hollycraft who is tasked to lead the Deep Ones (subterranean dwellers living in a remote volcanic island) to conquer the inhabitants of Innsmouth, a small coastal town in New England.

I´ve seen this game come up along with some others when I was looking for certain tags.

I looked at it but was not sure if it´s going to be good or not by the pictures you get on the shop page.

However, it got recommended to me and so I finally decided to buy it.

Started it without neither knowing what type of game it is (expected it to be a visual novel) nor what´s going to await

me anyways…

However… starting to play I can say this game is hughe fun. You meet a lot of different characters / creatures.

Alluna and Brie

Pros: Good comedy, interesting story, good characters, decent gameplay.

Cons: Gameplay CAN be repetitive at times, story leans too much on knowledge of prior release, REALLY should have mouse input.

A solid, if slightly flawed, first RPG for the developer. While the gameplay is solid and easy to pick up and play, the interface would really work better in every way if mouse functionality worked. The plot leans heavily on events of the developer’s previous game, Max’s Big Bust, in a way that can cause confusion to any who haven’t played that game.

Alluna and Brie is a game that takes several gaming concepts and mashes them together into one pretty cohesive whole. It’s basically a turn-based RPG-light game with a lot of visual novel elements. It also combines time management themes with some mini-games. The “mermaid spikers” sport is mildly fun (not my cup of joe, but has the potential to be addictive), but the Pokemon Go-like mini-game I have yet to try out. It must seem that having so many different playstyles together in one game is a recipe for disaster, but it seems to work.

The Last Islands of Man

I wanted to like this game, but I can’t recommend it in its current state.

I played this game after watching a critique of it and liking the idea of a game which is brutally difficult, time-bound, and allowed for different classes for your own experience. The game is brutally difficult, but not in a fair way, its just blatantly unbalanced at quite a few points. The initial premise is that the world is being overrun in water, and people and monsters are fighting for the last few scraps of land that remain, you as the hero, are trying to find a solution. That said let’s go over the individual points.

Pretty fun game. Nice coop option. There are a few bugs like not being able to pick up items if you miss them, but overall a fun quick game.

40% of the time you meet kids that rip your ears apart from the inside but other 60% when you meet actually normal people , you can have the best murder mystery ever. Really good game for the money , not at all repetitive unlike some other games of the same genre. I really like murder mystery in movies , books or games and this was exactly what i expected. If only the games lasted longer or there was a bigger map , perhaps other maps.

For the money , it’s worth to atleast try the game.

Hello everyone!

This is Verinius, the creator of Lawmage Academy. I have been working alone on this project back in 2018 using RPG Maker MV. After releasing the demo in Itch, it was received positively by the community and was featured by several indie game streamers at Twitch. This is my first game and to know that people genuinely enjoyed what I have created makes me happy.

I have no background in making games so I had to learn the necessary skills by watching Youtube tutorials. Currently, I am working full time as a lawyer and work on the game in my free time. Fortunately, I was able to save up some money to commission some illustrations and music for this demo. This is a learning process for me so I am grateful for your patience and support.

I hope you enjoy the demo!
