Another reason to read the blog tag fine print carefully every time: "I will note now that I did not specify whether it was the test build or the testers that would receive additional beatings".

I am so excited about this game. It just seems to have everything that I'd look for in a game. Have I been brainwashed?

The creatures' pinky-purple flesh throbbed regularly like beating hearts. The extraordinary things bore down on the gathered crowd. There was a full ten seconds when those who saw them were too aghast to speak, or to believe what they saw. Then the shouts started: "Men-o'-war!"

One of the testers happened upon this happy little shindig going down, look how happy they are dancing. Dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing. Forever. Forever. (Posted with permission of course. I'm not risking the brute squad coming down on me.)

It's all fun and games until one misstep invokes the Lord of Hamburgers' wrath upon the colony. Before you know it, all of those meat bricks are sentient and devouring your villagers.

If you're looking for your Cthulhu-with-some-Victorian-England-sprinkled-on-top aesthetic fix, Sunless Sea just got released today on Steam Early Access (its pretty far along and is more of a late beta so don't let Early Access scare you off). Its set in the same universe as the Fallen London browser game and while a bit grimmer than Clockwork Empires, it shares some of the same influences. Its also not a city builder, its a management game kinda like FTL.

On the flip side, Factorio is a game about building a giant factory to make things automatically with a twisted mass of pipes and conveyor belts linking everything together. And you need gears. So many gears.

I was watching some old Kitchen Nightmares and some godawful cook called himself a 'meat sculptor' I immediately thought of this thread. I can only think two ways to use that title and neither of them fit in a restaurant. Would work well in this game though.

I'm really hoping we get the inverse of this. I've been excited for this game since it was just a gif of a gear called Project Odin, but page after page of ham-handed Lovecraftian jokes and attempts at the style from some people here are killing it for me

I would argue that given the primary theme of Lovecraft, being that human beings are but a flicker in the scope of the vast, unknowable cosmic horror of a world ruled by beings which are utterly alien and barely comprehend the existence of humans, their lives being so brief and insignificant, that the differences between Lovecraft and Bureaucracy are fairly academic.
