You are Cthulhu. Crush other eldritch horrors that dare to rival Your power. "Gift" Your creatures with mutations, summon forth new lands in Your image, and harvest Your human subjects for power. Outwit other Gods--in these strange aeons, even Death may die.
You are Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, or Yog-Sothoth. And now the Great Ones that You didn't pick are going to try to kill You. But You, Greatest One, will destroy them first. In Cthulhu's Catharsis: a Lovecraftian Turn-Based Strategy God-game. A Risk-inspired strategy game without the randomness. Card game style combat, without the cards. A 4X empire-building strategy game set in the Cthulhu mythos.
