Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones – Next Game Poll

Cultic Games, the team behind Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones, is currently putting the finishing touches on their cat-themed adventure game Cats and the Other Lives. But already looking towards the future, they bring us this Kickstarter update musing about the studio’s next project.

Here are the options:

Greetings Brethren!

We meet at a crossroads deep within the lightless data tunnels once again.

In these days that we are working on the final chapter of our current game Cats and the Other Lives, we wanted to contact you, our backers, since you are the fulfillers of our feverish dream of becoming game designers. We still owe you for that…

And we have a rather curious question for you:

If we ever make another Kickstarter project, which of the scenarios below would excite you most?

A) A Legacy style Lovecraftian Board Game that continues the themes of Stygian while presenting an interesting mix of tabletop role-playing and board gaming.

B) A CRPG like “Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones” but in another unexpected and fresh setting with unique mechanics.

C) A CRPG to be the spiritual successor of Stygian which continues and expands the themes of Stygian. (The decision for Stygian 2 is not entirely up to us)

You can simply write your preference on the comments section below. Any and all feedback is welcome! What kind of a board game? What kind of an RPG setting? What may work and what may not?

Lastly, we have another announcement to make, blood brothers and sisters. The beta build of “Cats and the Other Lives” will be available for all our backers and you will be able to play the entire game before everyone else. Get ready for some bug hunting though!

Until we meet again, do not forget to make your choice. Just like – just like in a game! Like in one of those games that you ROLEPLAY a character from another time and space! Like in one of those games you play w-within your own head which have CHARACTERS whispering to your ear every now and then, telling you that it is a marvelous idea to open up your neighbor and see if everything’s safe and secure…

Oh? You don’t play those games?

Your loss then…

A Very Important Note: There is no planned campaign, no pre-production work done or anything like that so far. This poll is just for us Cultic Games to understand what kind of content you would expect from us and to see if you still support our passion of making weird-ass games with bitter smiles, eaten hearts and a lot of tragedy.
