Lovecraft's Untold Stories 2 - Dev Diary: The Detective
Greetings everyone, Carlos here, CEO at Blini Games! As you already know, in Lovecraft's Untold Stories 2 we are introducing 6 playable characters, some of them you already know, while others are brand new. Each of them will have unique abilities, exclusive items, and their own gameplay style totally different from the rest.
Starting today, we are opening a series of posts in which we will introduce to the main characters of Lovecraft's Untold Stories 2, with a bit of their history, and some details about their abilities.
MY NAME IS MURPHY, JOHN MURPHY…
The Detective is one of the classic characters that we have “rescued” from the first part, to continue his fight against the Great Old Ones.
John Murphy is an expert marksman, agile, and tough.
Murphy once served under Inspector John Legrasse, before he went missing shortly after the Bayou raids of 1908. Murphy investigated, and found Legrasse had been murdered – sacrificed to an unholy monstrosity – by the Bayou cult’s ring leader Castro.
Murphy tracked Castro to Innsmouth, where he salvaged a Navy operation to torpedo a hideous fish-demon that the Innsmouth cult venerated as a god.
Murphy’s quest was far from over, however... but each further step drained his rationality... until, inevitably, the merciful blackness of amnesia overtook him...
SKILLS AND GAMEPLAY DETAILS
The Detective is a classic shooter DPS class with average stats, expert in the use of small and medium size range weapons.
He can dodge attacks, traps, and avoid being surrounded by enemies, using his Dodge ability. The dodge ability spends a certain amount of Energy, so be careful.
He can also use a basic melee attack, which in certain situations will Stun an enemy for 1-2 seconds. Very useful against melee fast enemies from which it is very hard to run away.
The detective is also expert in the use of explosives. He can throw dynamite, Molotov cocktails and Grenades, for a high damage AOE attack against groups of enemies.
The Detective also has a passive skill called “Detective Eye” which will help him discover hidden secrets on screen, and also will help him solving certain puzzles and provide special actions in certain mini-events, that no other character will have access to.
Till next time, in case you haven't done already, please don't forget to add the game to you Steam wishlist and stay up to date on all the upcoming news. We'll be seeing you soon with more exciting updates about our game:
