About Cthulhu's Reach: Devil Reef:

Stuck with enormous debt and a greedy gangster to pay off, it’s time to accept misfortune and risk it all to find the hidden treasure of Devil Reef. Travel to the creepy seaside town of Innsmouth and venture deeper and deeper into the daunting unknown, where piles of gold may await… under the watchful eye of lurking eldritch horrors.

Brave chthonic creatures and beasts from beyond behind each dungeon’s door by unlocking upgrades for powerful arcane scrolls and incantations. Journey through this horrifying space solo or with a group of up to four fellow dungeon crawlers, embracing the atmospheric soundtrack and pixel art inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and the glorious golden era of ‘90s games.
