Overview
The Occult Chronicles is a computer turn based strategy game whose design is heavily influenced by both modern adventure board games and the classic rogue like formula. You take on the role of an Occult Defense Directorate (O.D.D.) agent who has been assigned a mission to investigate an ancient estate out in the country. You start your adventure in the Main Entry Foyer and then proceed to explore the creaky old mansion encountering all manner of strange and haunted things. Your mission will take you to the caverns and dungeons below the mansion where you must confront and defeat an unspeakable evil. Before you begin the game you must first create your agent character. You are given a fixed number of points to build a character to suit your play style. Each character has four key attributes that govern how he or she will approach the many challenges ahead. The four attributes correspond to the different suits of a Tarot deck which plays a key role in how challenges are resolved. The game is meant to be played in “Reaper” mode. In this mode, death and insanity mean game over. Your save game is deleted and your character is sent to the archives if he or she merits such inclusion. The archives lets you view the histories of your best agents…the glorious missions accomplished and the ignominious deaths in some forlorn hallway when your gun jammed and the darkness closed in. The Occult Chronicles is a strategy game of adventure and exploration. Games usually take just a few hours to complete and dying a horrible death is all part of the experience. You will quickly get a feel for how far you can push your luck and often you will still push it too far because you think that snake eyes will never happen to you. Sometimes you’ll just run into some plain bad luck and find your desiccated bones littering a shabby corner of some forlorn mansion. So you’ll need to master the ability of knowing when to hold them, when to fold them and when to run away in stark raving terror. All that matters is that you complete your mission and make it out alive….or not.
