That means when it comes to creating your character, it grants you a pretty large canvas to paint with. Stygian: Reign Of The Old Ones is a CRPG, and it's aiming to give players a Call Of Cthulu-type of role-playing experience. In Stygian, it feels like every location is going to contain something new and disgusting, and that's what a Lovecraftian game should be aiming for. Games like The Sinking City feel dreary and sad, but I never genuinely felt like my sanity was on the line.
I've played few games that seem to revel in the nastiness of their world as much as Stygian, which is kind of nice because usually, these games don't truly capture how terrible it would be to live in a Lovecraft novel. If you want a happy-go-lucky gaming experience, you're not going to find it here. At this point, you literally have nothing better to do, so you set out to track him down, and hopefully find some kind of solution to this rather uncomfortable situation. Your character, who still kind of has their wits about them, has encountered a person known as The Dismal Man, who told them to come find him once everything turned to crap. The sun never rises, there are monsters and lunatics everywhere, the mob has taken over control, the only currency is cigarettes, and the few people who are unlucky enough to still be alive are either under the thumb of a boss called Wax Face or hooked on drugs or booze.
Stygian starts with the city of Arkham essentially being sucked into hell, or purgatory, or some kind of nightmare dimension.
