About Army of Tentacles: (Not) A Cthulhu Dating Sim

✦ AI summary

Command an army of eldritch horrors to destroy the coastal town of Innsmouth in this Lovecraft-inspired adventure-RPG where you must recruit creatures and manage your time before the final invasion. The game stands out with its dynamic hand-drawn art that shifts based on your choices, conversation-based combat, a fully voiced cast of 60+ characters, and multiple endings that actually differ from one another.


Sick to death of H.P. Lovecraft-based games yet? No? That's great! If you are... well... still play this one.

Dagon is all like 'yo' and Perry/you is all like 'sup'. Dagon needs you to destroy the human town of Innsmouth, but you're all like 'there are a lot of people living there, so I'mma need to get an army worthy of Mordor so I can simply walk into Innsmouth'. Dagon's all 'sure, but you have a time limit because that's how this game has replayability'.

At its heart, AoT:(N)ACDS is a coming-of-age tale about a boy/girl that is totally going to destroy humanity. By humanity, we mean a small coastal town. It is the Adventure-RPG based upon Shadow Over Innsmouth, where you control the eldritch horrors from beyond time and space!

- Quirky 2D art. Like the theme of sanity in all of Lovecraft's works, the art changes - sometimes drastically based on where you are in the game, who you are talking to, and what you are doing.
- Time management is also a factor, as some areas only open up at certain times, and you may find yourself unable to train everyone you want before the final invasion of Innsmouth.

- A SILENT PROTAGONIST. REVOLUTIONARY.

- Fully voiced cast of 60+ characters!

- Four central hub areas

- Whale Jesus (but only in the most awesome of playthroughs)

- Use your wits to engage in battles where words are sharper than swords or other things that hurt people in reality! Because NOBODY has EVER done conversation-based combat before!

- Recruit a party of THOUSANDS (if thousands meant six), ranging from Deep Ones to Night Gaunts, all staples of the Lovecraft mythos! Find hidden army squads and party members to further puff up your ranks!

- Do things that relate to other things and provide consequences of choice! We totally have more than three differently colored endings! We swear! (At least five! One is even pink!)

And no, it's not a Cthulhu Dating Simulator. Honestly.

No, really.

That's six minutes of my life that I'll never get back. Visuals that don't make sense. Terribly annoying and bad quality voice acting. Subtitles that don't match the audio being displayed. And let's not ignore the fact that the guy on the banner of the game up top is clearly a Crazy Dave rip-off. I'd ask for my money back, but I'm embarrassed that at some point, I bought this somehow. 0/10.

I didn't really like it. The story wasn't enjoyable and I wasn't a fan of the characters. I also got frustrated with the conversation battles...I had to redo them multiple times since I suck at picking the right counter.
