Tentacle Hell Progress

Lovecraft Locker: Tentacle Lust
A browser game made in HTML5

Hi guys

I want to relay some progress to Tentacle Hell made by the team. Before anything else, I would like to clarify that the team working on Hell is different from the team working on Lust and Asylum in case you feel the two games feel drastically different.

Anyway, let me start by making a few key notes between Lust and Hell, specifically about the gameplay differences between the two games.

Here's the core gameplay of Tentacle Lust: 

  1. You put them on lockers and generate lust, consequentially generating reports as well.
  2. As you generate lust, you earn more skill points which allow you to make new lockers. In turn, you'd be able to deal with the reports.
  3. Rinse and repeat until you successfully conquered all the lockers in an area to proceed to the next area.

Now, Tentacle Hell is currently built a bit differently:

  1. You have this thing called "soul" which has a minimum and maximum. You start an area with a 20/20 soul value.
  2. Your soul is your life. If it reaches 0/20, the game is over and you will have to restart the area (that may change in the future).
  3. To create new tentacle lockers, you also use your soul. As a base, a new locker costs 5 souls.
  4. You regenerate your soul by putting targets on your tentacle locker. Each target has different soul values depending on the type.
  5. Rinse and repeat until you successfully conquered all the lockers in an area to proceed to the next area.

In theory, this gameplay loop of Hell should be more engaging and fun, but we have trouble finding that ourselves due to the endless hours of us working on it. 

Hence, this prototype playtesting was released again. I would like to do a closed playtesting here on Patreon to start, then maybe a public one sometime soon. For now, feedback is critical to move things forward.

At the moment, only Patreons will be able to playtest Tentacle Hell. You can check the post about it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/tentacle-hell-84256337
