About Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace

Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace is an investigation game with turn-based combat developed and published by Twin Sails Interactive. Steam release date: 23 March 2021.

Inspired by the award-winning board game franchise, Mother's Embrace takes you to 1926, where a professor of astronomy has been found dead in her mansion. Choose from 12 investigators from the Arkham Horror games, each with unique skills, and assemble a team to search for clues, interrogate witnesses and follow the trail across nine chapters, from Miskatonic University and Arkham Asylum to the bayous of Louisiana. Turn-based battles pit your squad against cultists and creatures of the Cthulhu mythos, while a sanity system means that what your investigators witness can break their minds. The original story was written by the franchise's official writers.
