Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace is a digital adaptation of the board game Arkham Horror developed by Artefacts Studio and published by Asmodee Digital. It combines gameplay from adventure games and tactical role-playing games.
Players control a group of investigators in the 1920s, each of whom has a special skill. As they investigate a murder mystery involving the Cthulhu Mythos, players encounter puzzles, as in adventure games. Failing the puzzles causes time to advance, and five failures causes the investigators suffer various penalties, such as performing worse in combat or losing items. Investigators who encounter distressing elements of Lovecraftian horror may suffer blows to their sanity that cause further penalties. These penalties persist throughout a scenario but can be cured afterward, when moving on to the next step in the investigation. Eventually, players come into contact with Cthulhu cultists and other enemies, who must be defeated in turn-based and tactical combat.[1]
