Miskatonic University

In Miskatonic University, you are the headmaster of a new University that is destined for greatness... if it can survive.

The world is in turmoil. The festering corpse of a prehistoric abomination long thought to be extinct washed up from untold depths onto the shores of Japan. Police arrested a voodoo cult in Louisiana as they sacrificed humans at the foot of a grotesque totem to an unearthly god. Whispered rumors of the shifting sands of the Desert of Araby disgorging the ruins of a long forgotten city with structures of.... inhuman proportions.

A pall has fallen over the earth. Something is happening. These events (and many more) are connected somehow. But with a new generation of talented scientists and engineers, doctors and philosophers, historians and artists... perhaps the great secrets will be revealed!

In Miskatonic University, you build and run HP Lovecraft's (in)famous college in this real-time, ant-farm view, management simulation game.

• Establish Departments of Art, Science, Engineering, Medicine, and more.
• Accept students with a wide variety of skills and quirks, and cultivate their learning by providing the best professors, facilities and amenities.
• Happy students excel at their classes and are more effective on research projects, and successful students raise the prestige of your University.
• Send Students and Professors on expeditions to sites around the world to retrieve strange and powerful artifacts, to be studied and understood.
• Harness knowledge to develop technologies that allow you to investigate further, dig deeper, and probe into truths not intended for human eyes.
• Greater discoveries lift the prestige of the University. More prestige means more student intertest, more grants, and more opportunities.
• Beware however of the influence of madness. Proximity to eldritch things warps the mind. Those who slip into insanity become.... unpredictable.... and may attempt to sabotage your school.
• Other evils lurk in the shadows as well, and will attempt to frustrate your exploration into the truth. Cultists, monsters, and more, await their time to strike.
