GGEM is Proud to Announce a Strategic Partnership with Cthulhu Awakens
About Partnership
GGEM is excited to reveal a strategic partnership with Cosmic Foundry to bring you Cthulhu Awakens, a groundbreaking match-3 RPG mystery game rooted in the chilling and profound universe of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythology. Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous 1920s, "Cthulhu Awakens" masterfully combines the addictive mechanics of match-3 puzzles with the depth of role-playing games and a narrative steeped in cosmic horror and mystery.
Cthulhu Awakens Overview
Cthulhu Awakens, takes place in the aftermath of World War I where the player commands a secret military organization called Omega Black. Players are assigned the mission of training teams of 'Agents' (regular folks with special powers) to explore a wide array of anomalies, spanning from earthly to astronomical. As they delve into this task, they become entangled in a riveting mystery filled with cults, strange scientific phenomena, and otherworldly beings of cosmic horror.
The game is Free-to-Play with optional 'Play&Earn' features. This design will ensure a diverse gaming audience as there is almost zero friction for new users. The development team, (seasoned with nearly a century of collective experience in blockbuster titles), is focused on delivering a gameplay experience that transcends the norms of digital asset monetization, emphasizing fun, player engagement and great story.
In Cthulhu Awakens, players are tasked with recruiting, training and forming teams of Agents before going into combat. Each mission requires strategic thinking about which Agents are best to solve it. These Agents are also the primary Digital Collectible (NFT) in the ecosystem; there are thousands and each one is entirely unique (including each visual). They all have custom art/abilities/stats and the tech is written such that they are 'dynamic' assets, meaning they can be trained up and sold on standard marketplaces.
Agents have (6) classes, which primarily effect their combat abilities. The game intricately weaves strategy into its match-3 combat, requiring players to manage their agents' Health / Items and even Sanity while strategically using Abilities and Power-ups. Additionally, players can participate in multiplayer features, including lending agents to fellow players and engaging in PvP tournaments, adding a communal dimension to the experience.
The game's tokenomics are built on a dual-token system, including the main $CTH token and the governance $COS token. The $CTH is the primary token for in-game economic utility and $COS a long-term method for player-driven governance over future offerings in the Cthulhuverse. This approach is complemented by a wide range of Digital Collectibles, offering players true ownership of unique in-game items and characters. These collectibles are categorized into 'Utility' and 'Art,' with the Agents being the primary Utility Collectible and the Art collectibles categorized into movies of demonic sygils (Insanitorium) and still .jpgs of creatures (Mythopedia). Players can see their digital collections, win more and play side-games at the Member Portal. You even get a free Digital Collectible just for signing up!
The current state of the game is 'under development'. The developers have released a playable demo (called 'M1 Secret Demo' ) and are inviting folks to try, give feedback and help improve. The demo has (4) hidden goals which, if completed grant the player a free Agent Digital Collectible. More on this here.
Looking to the future, "Cthulhu Awakens" plans to expand into an MMO experience with the "Cthulhuverse,". Player's actions in the current match-3 RPG will resonate in a broader gaming landscape, as will Agents carry over into future products. The integration of Polygon blockchain technology and Stardust (for custodial wallets) underscores the game's commitment to a sustainable, player-centric digital economy. More here.
