Prepare to become a legendary Slayer in this expansion to Dracula's Curse. This procedurally generated dungeon crawler plunges you and your fellow Slayers into a nightmarish realm, where no two playthroughs are ever the same. Choose from one of 7 Slayers each with their own unique abilities, backgrounds, and subclasses or embrace the darkness and play as Dracula himself, the ultimate lord of the night. One among you take up the role of Cthulhu, wielding the power to summon eldritch minions, corrupt minds, create chaos, and manipulate reality itself. As Slayers, you must strategically work together to stop Cthulhu before he can be released. Be wary — alliances can shift as fallen Slayers have the chance to join Cthulhu's cult, working against their former comrades. With stunning, handcrafted (AI-free) artwork from talented artists around the world and gameplay that balances strategy, deception, and teamwork, Cthulhu's Curse promises not just a game night but an unforgettable journey into the eldritch unknown. —description from the publisher
