Turn-based ruinin mah fun, gimme real time or else!
Maybe it's intentional.Art style is decent, but they haven't kept a consistent perspective/proportion with all the art assets. Buildings and some characters look obscure due to this - but it's nowhere near as bad as SotS: The Pit.
Could be, the art is good so they get a pass. SotS: The Pit was so inconsistent with both style and perspective that it quickly became a headache to look at.Maybe it's intentional.
Best thing they can do is to extract their do-s and don't-s from that they can gleam from HPL's own stories and from stories that were written by his pen palls, and to build on that and only on that. Ignore everything that came after that, especially whatever variety of strict Mythos "rules" -imagined by later writers and fans- some folks might expect them to stick to.You know, even if the world is pretty much done for if the Old Ones have already awakened, it wouldn't be that bad if your party is allowed to "win" against all of these eldritch abominations, even if it was to temporally seal them. Not all Lovecraftian stories have their characters losing their minds and lives. Randolph Carter was quite bad-ass and he accomplished everything he wanted to do and then some. But we'll see how this goes.

Secret Society isn't a good archetype in English. Cultist, Socialite, Practitioner of the Dark Arts, Member's Only Jacket Wearer; these are good descriptions of a person in a secret society. Secret society would never be used as a descriptor of a person in English.Here comes our next selectable Archetype.
"Secret Society"
Are you going to have only male PCs in the game?Here comes our next selectable Archetype.
"Secret Society"
*Prologue: The character is a member of a hidden order. The backing of the order made the life easier so far, but the initiation rite to the inner circle may involve some complications...
*Occult, investigation and medicine skills will be able to reach the maximum level.
*A player character with Secret Society background is less likely to suffer from the negative effects and costs of spells and have unique dialog options with npc's from the same background.
"Sleep No More."

As recent games have shown you need at least one Trans, Gay, Lesbian, Bi and maybe some animal type as well.Are you going to have only male PCs in the game?Here comes our next selectable Archetype.

Yes, you should have a black and an asian character die right at the start of the game. Make sure black one dies first.Don't forget different races for your characters, even if Lovecraft was racist as hell. Political correctness is worse than any eldritch abomination attempting to consume all life in our dimension (assuming it's not the same).
Now seriously, perhaps this will be of your interest: http://www.hplovecraft.com/
Can you play as the henchman also? Jeeves is way more fun than Wooster.
