I'm a bit dizzy now... but the concept of Madness is very well represented :) Thanks for adding the minimap, it is invaluable. I would have liked to see some more visual representation of the different &quot;resources&quot;, e.g. a progress bar of how far you have to charge them to awaken."},{"author_name":"Hork","author_uid":"58091","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 12:31am","epoch":1440462360,"text":"Definitely surreal enough to be a dream.

I liked the artstyle and gameplay. However it seems to me that the main view is pretty much useless. Steering via the minimap works perfectly so I just used that one. Maybe more dangerous enemies not shown on the minimap might create the need to use the main view.\r<br\/>And one more thing. The cultist view at the bottom was pretty awseome ;)"},{"author_name":"Aglavra","author_uid":"38572","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 7:30pm","epoch":1440962700,"text":"It was a bit difficult, but I finished it. From some point, the cult starts to grow on its own, so you can concentrate on finding &quot;sacrifice&quot; words, and in this case you will do it in time. It would be nice to have some way to win additional time, though."},{"author_name":"mubox","author_uid":"57193","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 8:53pm","epoch":1440967680,"text":"Like your minemap. :]"}],"images":["ld33\/56004-afda3f2a6cd6ac9b14646ba8a6e72566.jpg","ld33\/56004-84bf98afb174003fddb33bda3a59359b.jpg","ld33\/56004-bf34bc85dc6c0cf2b849e4ac4b1a3813.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/folderview?id=0B10bWaMiUMf1flBHbnBfWmJfbUZJSXFRbXZXN3htX0lxSkNtMlloZEtpSTBDbVZrUEY3RjA&amp;usp=drive_web#list","text":"Google Drive Folder"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/260567\/Ludum%20Dare\/Web.html","text":"Embedded Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"8807","g_author":"56004","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"8840","g_title":"I Dream of Cthulhu","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"540","g_commentcount":"12","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/56004-shot0-1440380695.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/56004-shot1-1440380695.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/56004-shot2-1440380695.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The stars are aligning and dead Cthulhu rises.
