About Lovecraft's Untold Stories
Lovecraft’s Untold Stories is an action rogue-lite with RPG elements. You explore randomly generated levels based on the H.P. Lovecraft stories, fighting cultists and all kinds of monsters from the Mythos, improving your weapons and gear, solving puzzles and challenges, and looking for clues and knowledge to defeat the Great Old Ones and the Outer Gods.
LIVE H.P. LOVECRAFT’S STORIES
Lovecraft’s Untold Stories is based on H.P. Lovecraft’s stories. You will experience first-hand the cosmic horror created by the genius of Providence. Every character will go through an investigation that will take them through different locations, from the creepy old Victorian mansion to the abandoned hospital where forbidden experiments take place or the jungle where lost tribes celebrate forgotten rituals, just to name a few. Levels are randomly generated: it will be a different experience every time you play. Also, they vary depending on the character you’re playing with. Look for items and clues to unlock secrets and new stories.
5 CHARACTERS, 5 WAYS OF FIGHTING THE MYTHOS
You can play as 5 different characters, each with a different playstyle and storyline. A private detective, a witch, a thief, a professor, and even a ghoul—each with different stats, weapons, and combat moves, creating five entirely different gameplay experiences. The Detective offers a balanced playstyle, with average Health and Stamina. The Professor is a specialist in ranged combat, with less Health and a special shield granted by his weapon, the Tillinghast. The Witch does a lot of damage, has teleport abilities and elemental shields of fire and ice, but also a very low Health. The Thief is a specialist in melée combat that takes advantage of its stealth to maximize her damage. The ghoul does a lot of melée damage, has a high Health and regenerates itself, but can’t use medkits at all.
KEY FEATURES
* Fight hundreds of different monsters from the Cthulhu Mythos in this intense action roguelite
Explore Lovecraft’s stories: every character has a storyline that crosses randomly generated levels set in different locations from Lovecraft’s stories, such as the hospital, the jungle, or the port city just to name a few
* Face the Great Old Ones: Great Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, Dagon, Shub-Niggurath, and Azathoth await you in special levels
* Investigate thoroughly: explore every corner to find secret levels and knowledge about the Great Old Ones
* Learn about the Mythos to fight them: to have a chance at fighting the Great Old Ones you need to acquire knowledge about them or their mere presence will drive you insane

* Pick your hero: Choose between 5 different characters, the detective, the thief, the professor, the witch, and the ghoul
* Different playstyles: every investigator has a different combat style and skills, but levels also vary depending on who you’re playing them with – so the gameplay experience is totally different
* Collect and improve weapons, items, and artefacts. Each character has a set of weapons and items, and there are hundreds of other items you can find and use!
* Look for clues and special items to unlock secrets and new stories

Apr 12, 2021 By Arthur ColeThis is a must try. My only real complaint is that there are environmental dangers that are significantly harder with virtual joysticks. You'll notice this in the first map. You can run away from pursuing enemies and come up to a puddle of acid that leaves mobile players at a disadvantage. If you hit the edge of your phone and can't go down, you run into acid. Adjust your finger placement and the enemy catches you. It doesn't ruin the game, but it is harder than on console. Controller is ideal. more -
The one i’ve been waiting for
Aug 26, 2021 By CastaigneThis is the rogue-like i’ve been waiting for. Lots of nods to Lovecraft and the Mythos; great little easter eggs (like a certain Reanimator). It has quirks you need to learn painfully and does not hold your hand but as someone whose favorite game ever is Dark Souls, i’m good with that. I paid a non-discounted $10 and i got that value in the first two chapters with just one of the four playable characters. Highly recommend if you’re a Mythos fan for sure. more -
May 8, 2020 By steampunk starfishGreat game! Charming graphics remind me of classics like Blackthorne. A few improvements I suggest would be moving the on-screen joysticks inward or perhaps floating joysticks would be better. Additional items would be helpful, such as a stamina pack and more ways to regain sanity. Great amount of locations/characters but more is always fun. more -
Too hard
Jun 25, 2019 By Lingrush24Great aesthetics and world building, but... I’m a veteran Wayward Souls player and I can’t beat the Professor’s prologue, even after trying for hours on easy difficulty. The buttons are small enough to miss in the heat of battle, it’s easy to aim in the wrong direction, and overall the controls do not feel precise. One little mistake and I’m swarmed by enemies. Wish the controls were more like Wayward Souls. Or could you at least make the buttons bigger? Or add a balance update for the Professor? Hope you fix this so that I can once again enjoy the game. UPDATE: Thank you for the response. I did not know about the custom controls, and it significantly helps to be able to make the joysticks bigger. Now I can keep going, but Easy difficulty is still no joke! more -
Dec 28, 2021 By Dave ClarkFun but glitchy. Twice I've gotten to different points and then controllers stop working. First chapter in the mansion and when I enter the final room, I can't move the character. All the controls stop functioning so he just stands in the doorway. The other time he wants out a doorway but doesn't go in the next room. Can't get him back. Uninstalling and reinstalling to see if I can get beyond this point. Fun game otherwise. more -
I killed myself. It was awesome!
Nov 10, 2019 By DonGatoTheCatI saw my own skeleton and turned my shotgun on myself. What the hell?! Didn’t see that coming. Just a sample of what’s in store when playing this game. Simple enough, but you’re probably going to be your own worst enemy and die from your own errors or insane choices. Either way, you’ll probably die. Or not. They give you enough medical supplies to help you keep from bleeding out, so maybe you’ll have a long run and get to meet the Old Ones. And then die. I’m only on Chapter 2, but so far am loving it. Atmospheric, enough secrets and Lovecraft lore to stay intriguing. It is pulling me away from my other games I said I wouldn’t get distracted from until they were finished. I recommend this game. more -
Oct 11, 2019 By A Google userThere really should be 2 reviews here. One for the game itself and one for the port to Android.... but I am happy to say both would still be over 4 stars. As ports go - touch controls are serviceable, interface functional, fonts acceptable... there even some welcomed features that aren't often included in mobile games (gamma correction for instance) As far as the game goes - randomly generated maps, rewarding and tense exploration, acceptable twin sticks combat, simple but satisfying adventure elements, stylish visuals and excellent atmosphere Would love to see some quality of life improvements though such as Iron Man Saves (instead of just checkpoints) and ability to revisit earlier maps/chapters more -
Nov 11, 2019 By A Google userGreat interface and wickedly awesome gameplay. Probably one of the better Cthulhu mythos inspired games I've played, and it was only $5. That's a steal for a game of this quality I feel. Just got to Ch.2 and hoping I didn't mess anything up by getting rid of all of the skeltal parts. They had stars on them so they seemed important, but that resident evil style inventory gets ya. more -
Already stop 3 Elder Ones!
Jan 13, 2020 By Truth NewsI complete all the characters story so all I need to is stop the rising from two other elder ones. It totally difficult to play hard mod but I don’t get bore at all. I able to find all items but I has struggle to find the cat face necklace, please help me! But the problem is the control, it is difficult to aim and difficult to use ability so please fix it more -
Just what I was looking for
Oct 5, 2019 By MathySaxWailerThis adventure is everything a Lovecraft fan could want, and plays in a style similar to Diablo II. The only thing I didn’t like was the layout of the controls, but I soon realized they’re customizable. A lot of thought went into creating this game. It’s huge and has an exceptionally polished feel. Congrats, dudes!! more

Please patch control over saves is needed
May 6, 2020 By XO Beso AbrazoI love this game but I get frustrated over the lack of control over savings. I can spend an hour sweeping everything clean, go to the yellow inventory box (without going to the safe place) and then if I need to leave, I just restart as if I would had done no progress at all in the level. If I go to the next level inside the chapter (IE green mines) but need to leave to the safe place I go back to the beginning of the previous chapter with blank state! Please save me hours of gameplay or just let me have them for fun and not be it of frustration. The lack of saving control is truly ruining gameplay. Please add a patch to give us save control. Thank you so much. more -
Aug 7, 2022 By Liam GilroyAn atrocious touch pad control scheme ruins what is otherwise a great game. The two tiny thumbpads are bad enough, but if your phone is too long (like my pixel) you have these grey bars on either side of the game and if you accidentally move the left thumbpad into the grey void - ie every time you move left - it springs into the opposite direction and sends your character careening to the right. And you can't then correct it, it stays like that until you lift your finger. Please fix it, I ❤️ LUS more -
Aug 7, 2021 By PrivileguanAtmosphere great. Overall it plays well and the pixelated graphics work for me. What I disliked: RNG can be literally game-breaking. The difficulty on normal (ch. 4) was at some point just unfair. Getting swarmed by 10-15 enemies in a level with traps all over the place is not difficult, but simply bad game design.. Controller worked most of the time, but no individual mapping. Save feature sucked.. Item descriptions plain wrong, misleading or bugged or "hidden" GG. So much wasted potential. more -
May 8, 2022 By David ScottFIX YOUR CONTROLLER SUPPORT. So I have 2 controllers I can connect to my phone: Xbox one x Bluetooth which in this game let's me move around but constantly makes me roll until I'm out of stamina.. this controller works fine with other games so it is not broken. Xbox elite 2 which is even worse as no buttons work at all with the game besides the back button.. again.. this controller is working perfectly with every other game on my phone. This game needs proper controller support hence 1 star. more -
Too hard
May 18, 2020 By Boner69&69somemoreI wanted to love the game but after the twentieth time dying in the same level and replaying the same room battles over and over again I gave up on it. If you like replaying the same fights over and over and over and over and over again because you die and can’t save your place even though you’ve cleared twenty rooms, this game is for you. more -
Feb 2, 2020 By A Google userGetting the made with unity screen and then a pink screen, nothing else. Edit: had to uninstall (which refunded and tied up the money for days) and reinstall (which charged me again), but then it did work. As far as the game itself, it has too many floor traps and they reset continually, bandages here and there, be prepard to bleed out over and over, rediculous difficulty (have ran into a couple cultists, dispatched of them without a bit of damage but the floor traps have killed me repeatedly, the floor traps, nothing but the floor traps alone..), too late to get a refund. After a while i tried the game a second time, it won't start and run right, it stammers, it's looking for online connection, won't run right without it, mobile games should be mobile.. (-1 star, from the 2 i gave it to begin with). To think this game costs so much.. worthless game that it is. more -
Using keyboard on iPad Pro
Jan 1, 2020 By EvilMinionTrying the Lite version I was able to play using the Apple keyboard for my iPad Pro. When I bought the full version I was not able to use it anymore. Upon further inspection, looks like the lite version has a lot more recent version than the full version. That’s annoying. more -
May 9, 2020 By LisaPaid $12 for this and it's pretty stupid to have no option to save where you are, as you end up in different areas when you die. Played The Professor and was getting killed off instantly, even with the powerful weapon. Why is it, when playing on EASY mode with the other characters, it's actually playing as HARD mode. It gets so tedious to have to restart, especially without "ANKHS" to stop you from dying. Shouldn't have to pay for items either (not with real money, but game coins). more -
Very Tedious
Dec 30, 2019 By Whyareallthenamesgone?I gave it a good shot for a couple hours but it's just not very fun. Also whenever you try to throw explosives as the detective, they literally never get thrown the direction you are facing. Turning invisible and sneaking up on a monster with a molotov cocktail doesn't work, because when you go to throw it the character decides to turn around and throw it against the wall. more -
Nov 10, 2020 By Frank RiversBought the game a few months ago, and only now getting to play it. The proble. Is that whenever I open the app on my Samsung S10+ the screen goes crazy, like it's loading the app, and it goes through every logo screen, gets to the title screen, and I can't click on anything. Please help or gimme my money back. more

Mar 8, 2020 By A Google userNice! Captures the Lovecraftian cosmic dread very well. The pixel art is lovely and the animation is smooth. In a good roguelite it's important that moving about and firing becomes second nature and the twin stick controls of this game succeed in doing that, for me. The music in the mansion gets a little repetitive, though. Haven't played any other levels yet, so I'm hoping that it picks up later. This is not "just another one of those" and that is clear from the start. Like it a lot. more -
Top Tier Game
May 3, 2021 By sarahjane229This game is a joy to play, and I can tell the devs put an A+ effort into the making and execution. This game has so much to offer. I’m still playing the detective character, and look forward to progressing. -
Very fun
Jan 4, 2020 By LuvstospoogSome of the negatives that are stated in the comments are there but not at the degree that is said, the game is a challenge, but gives you the feeling of accomplishment instead of holding your hand

Feb 6, 2021 By Black ShadowWithout a doubt it is a fantastic Lovecraft game! Both the design and the gameplay are incredible, however, I must point out problems regarding the difficulty of the game and the compatibility with the joystick control, because I can't even select options in the menu with my controller so there is no response to the command when I press the buttons. Apart from these problems, the game is perfect for enjoying a great Lovecraftian experience! more -
Love it, but so many crashes
Oct 4, 2019 By BeansesesI love this game. It’s so much fun and very challenging, but I had a couple of crashes during chapter 2. Now I’m on chapter 3 and the game crashes are more frequent than before. It’s making it impossible to move forward in the game :( more -
Nov 11, 2020 By Christopher EsguerraLOVE IT. Its full filling all of my CUTHULHU cravings. Atmosphere. Story. Action. Visual quality. Attention to detail. ALL: FANTASTIC. thank thr OLD GODS there are independent studios out there who make amazing things. Now excuse me, i have a game to play!! Cheers to all future players, and cheers to the developers!! (Updated): uninstalled the game. Some scenarios are just inescapable. Mechanics wise, and frame rate wise. I'm sure the heavy graphics situations are manageable on pc version. more -
The game is good but...
Sep 29, 2019 By dvangfdgjfjhghhgdgjfIt keeps crashing for me please fix this because this game is amazing and really fun. This game is something I could play all night if it didn’t crash all the time. Please fix. -
Oct 24, 2020 By mc kimFor now 4 stars. I'm using ipega (red knight) & actually, I considered getting a refund just because of the fact that I couldn't use it while playing this. But I wanted to challenge the developers to make their game more accessible &compatible with other devices (since it says we can use keyboard, mouse, and gamepad). Devs aren't all encompassing when making their games, so I understand the lack of compatibility. For now, I bear with playing the game as is. Thank God, though, it's really good. more -
Almost 5 stars
Jun 8, 2019 By Joe KuleThis game is off to a strong start. If they can fix the save issues, and add controller support, I would rate this a five star game!

Amazing game but
Jun 4, 2019 By Ghastly13Please add auto save! You should be able to close out then come back later to finish your run. Also, it stinks gameplay doesn’t pause when you open your inventory makes it really hard to heal/use an item during a serious battle -
A lot of promise, but gets dull quick.
Feb 16, 2020 By JtchurchAt first it seemed like it was going to be an exciting otherworldly mystery, but quickly becomes a chore of pointless exploring and collecting, exploring and collecting, like a typical dungeon game without much narrative to keep it interesting. For $9.99 I expected to be entertained and engaged, not just initially preoccupied then bored. more -
Sep 14, 2021 By Michael PerezSo far it's pretty fun and interesting with great atmosphere. I wish it had better controller support. When my controller is plugged in it recognizes that it's connected but the start button is the only one that works.

The two tiny thumbpads are bad enough, but if your phone is too long (like my pixel) you have these grey bars on either side of the game and if you accidentally move the left thumbpad into the grey void - ie every time you move left - it springs into the opposite direction and sends your character careening to the right. And you can't then correct it, it stays like that until you lift your finger. Please fix it, I ❤️ LUS more -
Aug 7, 2021 By PrivileguanAtmosphere great. Overall it plays well and the pixelated graphics work for me. What I disliked: RNG can be literally game-breaking. The difficulty on normal (ch. 4) was at some point just unfair. Getting swarmed by 10-15 enemies in a level with traps all over the place is not difficult, but simply bad game design.. Controller worked most of the time, but no individual mapping. Save feature sucked.. Item descriptions plain wrong, misleading or bugged or "hidden" GG. So much wasted potential. more -
Using keyboard on iPad Pro
Jan 1, 2020 By EvilMinionTrying the Lite version I was able to play using the Apple keyboard for my iPad Pro. When I bought the full version I was not able to use it anymore. Upon further inspection, looks like the lite version has a lot more recent version than the full version. That’s annoying. more

Please patch control over saves is needed
May 6, 2020 By XO Beso AbrazoI love this game but I get frustrated over the lack of control over savings. I can spend an hour sweeping everything clean, go to the yellow inventory box (without going to the safe place) and then if I need to leave, I just restart as if I would had done no progress at all in the level. If I go to the next level inside the chapter (IE green mines) but need to leave to the safe place I go back to the beginning of the previous chapter with blank state! Please save me hours of gameplay or just let me have them for fun and not be it of frustration. The lack of saving control is truly ruining gameplay. Please add a patch to give us save control. Thank you so much. more -
May 8, 2022 By David ScottFIX YOUR CONTROLLER SUPPORT. So I have 2 controllers I can connect to my phone: Xbox one x Bluetooth which in this game let's me move around but constantly makes me roll until I'm out of stamina.. this controller works fine with other games so it is not broken. Xbox elite 2 which is even worse as no buttons work at all with the game besides the back button.. again.. this controller is working perfectly with every other game on my phone. This game needs proper controller support hence 1 star. more -
Too hard
May 18, 2020 By Boner69&69somemoreI wanted to love the game but after the twentieth time dying in the same level and replaying the same room battles over and over again I gave up on it. If you like replaying the same fights over and over and over and over and over again because you die and can’t save your place even though you’ve cleared twenty rooms, this game is for you. more -
Feb 2, 2020 By A Google userGetting the made with unity screen and then a pink screen, nothing else. Edit: had to uninstall (which refunded and tied up the money for days) and reinstall (which charged me again), but then it did work. As far as the game itself, it has too many floor traps and they reset continually, bandages here and there, be prepard to bleed out over and over, rediculous difficulty (have ran into a couple cultists, dispatched of them without a bit of damage but the floor traps have killed me repeatedly, the floor traps, nothing but the floor traps alone..), too late to get a refund. After a while i tried the game a second time, it won't start and run right, it stammers, it's looking for online connection, won't run right without it, mobile games should be mobile.. (-1 star, from the 2 i gave it to begin with). To think this game costs so much.. worthless game that it is. more -
May 9, 2020 By LisaPaid $12 for this and it's pretty stupid to have no option to save where you are, as you end up in different areas when you die. Played The Professor and was getting killed off instantly, even with the powerful weapon. Why is it, when playing on EASY mode with the other characters, it's actually playing as HARD mode. It gets so tedious to have to restart, especially without "ANKHS" to stop you from dying. Shouldn't have to pay for items either (not with real money, but game coins). more -
Very Tedious
Dec 30, 2019 By Whyareallthenamesgone?I gave it a good shot for a couple hours but it's just not very fun. Also whenever you try to throw explosives as the detective, they literally never get thrown the direction you are facing. Turning invisible and sneaking up on a monster with a molotov cocktail doesn't work, because when you go to throw it the character decides to turn around and throw it against the wall. more -
Nov 10, 2020 By Frank RiversBought the game a few months ago, and only now getting to play it. The proble. Is that whenever I open the app on my Samsung S10+ the screen goes crazy, like it's loading the app, and it goes through every logo screen, gets to the title screen, and I can't click on anything. Please help or gimme my money back. more
What’s Groovy
My first foray into The Lovecraft Mythos and it’s been an intriguing one. After trying the game out on GooglePlay and moving over to IOS recently it’s been an interesting thrilling adventure. I’ve played with multiple characters and I’ve to say it’s a very immersive and yet challenging experience. The various difficulty levels have you traversing the polished maps with cautious adventure. The style line unfolds and the mythos opens up to you as you develop an interest in the collective ties that bind the characters together. Would recommend the game well. I’ve played both inebriated and sober and I’ve to say it’s a challenge of clarity overall. Think critically and pay attention to the keen details of the game as it requires multiple play through. Most of all have fun and get a feel for the characters as you go as the storyline and characterization collectively mesh together well.

What’s Subpar
The game has a lot of potentials to be fun, but the touch controls are not intuitive at all, and It lacks proper gamepad support, which is odd because it detects the controller is connected but won't let me interact at all. If this had maybe 30% more polish, it would be a fantastic game to have mobile, but in its current state, it's just not worth the hassle. If the game does get patched to fix controller support issues, I will update this review to reflect this.

Dear investigators,
We have uploaded the new version 1.321. In it, we have fixed several bugs, and we have improved the balance of the Professor, as he seemed to be the most problematic character of all five:
Fixes:

We have fixed the issue on which the weapons didn´t work when you dragged them from the inventory of the Storage to the player's inventory.
We have fixed the issue that slowed down the inventory of the Strange place when it contained a lot of items.
We have fixed a problem with the minimap.
We have fixed an issue with several mini-events which didn´t count for the achievements.
We have fixed the issue that didn´t let you access to the Secret level when you restarted the Strange place location.
Professor: We have increased the damage of the weapons (not the basic one).
Professor: We have increased the damage of the mines.
As always, thanks a lot for your support! Please, send us your comments, opinions, ideas... We will be happy to read them!

1.3
June 9, 2019
Dear investigators, the 1.3 version of our game includes the following fixes and improvements:
- The German language included.
- New saving system exclusive for mobile versions: We received many claims about the saving system of the game. We heard you and we have improved it, while keeping the hardcore nature of the game that many other players didn't want to lose.
* On Easy difficulty: The game progress will be automatically saved every 2 clean rooms without enemies. You can close or minimize the game, and when you open it again, the action will continue where you left it.
* On Normal difficulty: The game progress will be automatically saved every 5 clean rooms without enemies.
* On Hard difficulty: We have kept the original system for those hardcore players in search of the original experience.
- The game now pauses when you open the inventory: We were asked for this function as well in mobiles and felt that it is necessary. This solves also the problem with the change of weapon. Now if you want to change your weapon in the middle of a fight, you can open de inventory and change it without fear to die.
- Fixed an issue with the game interface on the iPhone X models.
In future updates:
- We will fix an issue with the Controls configuration that won´t let adjust the buttons on certain models.
- More fixes and improvements.
