Help of the Cthulhu


Getting help from evil daemons has always had its price. It has the power to turn a good person into a monster. Slowly, step by step, unnoticed until it's too late...

About the game


This game is an atmospheric puzzle platformer. When you are facing a task bigger than yourself, summon a mighty Cthtulu for help. But you will pay your price.

The game is relatively short, and puzzles are not very difficult (once you get used to a little of out-of-the-box thinking; but it's supposed to be a rather casual puzzle that is fun to play). It's not a hardcore platformer; levels are not supposed to be solved by your superior platforming skills, although there are often multiple ways to solve them. And even when you make a bad choice, there could still be a way to finish the level (level design is quite forgiving).

It has 6 levels (the first 3 are meant as tutorial levels). I recommend playing with headphones and on fullscreen.
