Machina Arcana

In Machina Arcana, players take on the role of explorers investigating an ancient underground complex of unknown origin. They battle monsters inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos in a steampunk setting. Adventurers collect equipment, interact and use their environment, fight monsters and immerse themselves in the rich narrative elements. The entire story is broken down into different scenarios that represent a self-contained game. All of these scenarios contain chapters, each with its own narrative and special features. The objective of the game is to progress through the story and face the endgame at the end of each scenario.

The main aim of Machina Arcana is to provide players with a scary game that can never be played in the same way, mechanics that allow for a variety of strategies and approaches, and an expansive setting that combines everything seamlessly. The game adapts by default; there is no need for special conditions depending on the number of players. Your equipment evolves as the story progresses. But beware! If you're too slow, the horror may well win and devour you whole...
