Lovecraft’s Untold Stories 2 comes to Steam Early Access in October

Lovecraft’s Untold Stories, not to be confused with No Code’s Stories Untold, is an action roguelite with a side order of RPG mechanics that takes place in various Cthulhu-flavored locales such as abandoned hospitals and old Victorian mansions. It’s more action-oriented than you might expect, but the basic elements of madness, the Old Ones, and relentless rain are all there, and people seem to like it—it’s got a “very positive” user rating across almost 500 reviews on Steam.

That’s good enough to warrant a sequel, Lovecraft’s Untold Stories 2, which will feature similar gameplay with a more advanced visual style, six different playable characters, and co-op multiplayer for up to four people. Players will also be able to craft their own equipment, including weapons, clothing, and consumables, using blueprints and resources found throughout the game.
