Quote:
The year is 1929. A dismal Cult is sprawling around the world. Blinded by their folly, these madmen seek to awaken one of the Elders - an alien abomination buried deep below the sea. You are in charge of a secret society whose sole purpose is to contain this evil and prevent the awakening. Do not linger, your time is running out!

You control several Investigators that you can send all across the world to investigate strange cases and establish new contacts in your headquarters. Each Contact gives you access to a specific action. For instance, the Sanatorium will allow you to recover from Insanity, the Underworld will give you access to the black-market shop and the Airfield will give you access to air routes.

Quote:
Rise of the Elders: Cthulhu is a tactical RPG, inspired by the work of Howard Phillips Lovecraft.
The design pillars are:

- Base & team management
- Turn-by-turn combat
- Sanity loss & perma-death

Our project is somewhere at the crossroad between XCOM: EU, Eldritch Horror and The Call of Cthulhu. We seek to design a game that has the accessibility of a video game, the tactical challenge of a board game and the flavour of a good old-fashioned tabletop RPG.

So Much Win

I doubt there are any mods to make it look more modern or?

I don't think so. And actually I just noticed the game is no longer for sale:
