About This Game

Marry a Deep One is a story generator with social mechanics at its core. You play as a villainous cult leader exerting considerable control over a small community. Nevertheless, you must also meet the demands of the Deep Ones, or they will punish the village.

• STORY: The game doesn't follow a fixed script or sequence but features numerous randomized story elements that can interconnect into a larger narrative. The story advances through your actions, not by selecting multiple-choice answers.

• MAGIC: Occult practices allow you to develop creative ways to manipulate villagers even further, to the point of breaking the game. By studying documents, you can learn sigils that can be combined into spells or used individually to cast curses on households.

• POWER: Your grimoire grants you the power to monitor all villagers' feelings, relationships, actions and motivations. You can foresee the outcomes of your interactions, allowing you to design schemes for manipulating the villagers to achieve your desired goals.

• CUSTOMIZATION: Name yourself, your cat, grimoire, cult, village, spells and children. Try out various hairstyles, glasses, and hats. Construct, expand, and modify the village's buildings to your liking.

• CATS: You can pet them. Cats bonded to you join you in your dreams, guiding your path.

• THE SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH: This game draws inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. In the original tale, there are no cats or dogs in Innsmouth, making this one of the few deviations in the game. However, the narrative overall stays true to the spirit of the source material, free from any silly references or anachronisms.
