About The Miskatonic
The Miskatonic is a dark comedy kinetic visual novel set after the Lovecraft canon. At The Miskatonic University, North America's most prestigious occult school, Innsmouth has been demolished, Cthulhu is perpetually immobilised, England is overrun with cannibals and Antarctica is being plundered. Against this backdrop, mankind's own ambitions pose the greatest threat.
Charlotte's investigation
Charlotte LeStrange, a former member of the Chesuncook witch cult whose eyes can magically alter minds, has been hired to run errands for the university's mutated faculty and patrol its Occult Science wing. Bubbly and inquisitive, she is fascinated by the monsters and mutants found in stories and spells, and sees the job as a dream come true. But behind the disfigured staff, unusually invasive science teachers and the adorably horrifying cosmic abominations known as the Dunwichers lies a vast conspiracy that Charlotte is equipped to solve. Her story follows her transformation from a simple witch girl into a soft-boiled occult detective.
The university
You encounter dozens of strange characters across multiple open hub areas as Charlotte explores the university and investigates its secrets.
