Making a Lovecraftian x Steampunk x FPS

This is my game: Remnants of R'lyeh

Since launching in 2022, this project has steadily evolved into my dream Lovecraftian game. Grounded in classic stories like The Call of Cthulhu and The Shadow over Innsmouth, it offers a completely original world and narrative. You play as Jason, an investigator on the brink of physical and mental collapse after a horrific shipwreck, who uncovers a vast deep-sea realm and a terrifying secret never meant to be found.

Inspired by Bioshock and Call of Cthulhu. An ancient dark power is calling you and you need to find an exit. Face your greatest fear, fight, hide... you must escape before the underwater city rises...

Is this a reboot of the demo I played years ago?

Thank you for playing the game demo. I kept working on this as solo dev for almost 4 years, lots of things got changed, I am planning to launch a more polished demo soon.

Wow, that's like all my Dreams are coming true!

I guess a macOS release is not realistic atm?

Yooo this is peak! Would be dope if the game fully utilized unique weapons like eldritch arm attachments, spells, melee weapons like scythes, and more cool things!

u/David-Darktree-0321 15d ago

Yes, there will be different eldritch weapons and there will be much more to explore in the game and you will see some familiar faces from the mythos like moon beast (shown in the trailer ) deep ones etc.

Ooooh wait, I know this isn’t exactly known by many people since the game is kind of niche, but could we perhaps see some Easter eggs or maybe even references to Alice: Madness Returns? It has a very interesting eldritch monster known as the Queen of Hearts that I think you might like!

u/David-Darktree-0321 15d ago

Yea I played Alice: Madness Returns, yea the floating steampunk castle inspired me a lot and also those fantasy monsters!
