Lovecraft's mythos. The story centers on investigators—including returning characters the Detective (John Murphy), Witch, and Professor, plus new ones the Medium, Veteran, and Alienist—pursuing a surrealist artist's madness-inducing painting in 1920s settings while battling eldritch horrors, with no romance systems, character customization options, or identity-focused subplots.

Developer statements and marketing emphasize procedural levels, crafting, and challenging combat against Great Old Ones, with zero references to DEI initiatives, sensitivity consulting, or activist intent. Searches across plot summaries, character details, and reception reveal no LGBTQ+ portrayal, gender-swapped established figures, systemic oppression narratives, or modern social commentary; criticisms target gameplay jank and loot emphasis instead. The six playable characters function as traditional archetypes in a horror framework without any ideological reframing.
