New game from Vic Davis (Solium Infernum, Armageddon Empires).
LinkyThe Occult Chronicles is a computer turn based strategy game whose design is heavily influenced by both modern adventure board games and the classic rogue like formula. You take on the role of an Occult Defense Directorate (O.D.D.) agent who has been assigned a mission to investigate an ancient estate out in the country. You start your adventure in the Main Entry Foyer and then proceed to explore the creaky old mansion encountering all manner of strange and haunted things. Your mission will take you to the caverns and dungeons below the mansion where you must confront and defeat an unspeakable evil.
It looks pretty rad, like some kind of Arkham Horror roguelike thing. Battles play out with tarot cards and stuff.
$15 for the beta buy in. Very very tempted to get in on this.
in other but slightly related news, Solium Infernum is down to $15 as well. You may remember it from
this AAR on Rock Paper Shotgun. If not, then read that and by the end you'll want it.
