What is Eldritch?
A first-person action game with roguelike dungeons set in strange worlds inspired by H. P. Lovecraft. You explore randomly generated levels, sneak past or fight enemies, use mystical powers, and unlock shortcuts to deeper dungeons as you look for a way out.
For you if...
- +you like choosing between stealth, combat, and mystical powers
- +you enjoy single-player dungeon runs with changing layouts
Not for you if...
- −you want a story-led game rather than dungeon exploration
- −you prefer forgiving games with little risk of losing progress
What players say
88% of 2,220 reviews are positive
Players praise the ominous atmosphere, ambient music, and tension of exploring the dungeons. Some find the combat basic or movement awkward, while others say deaths can feel unfairly punishing.
