CthulhuTech: The Shadow War is a game where you face an eldritch apocalypse in a near future science fantasy world. Where players fight back against otherworldly forces who have invaded earth and radically changed it. A mystical apocalypse threatens the people of Earth as dark, inhuman god-like entities reawaken and horrific alien beings invade.
Now the Old Ones return, dark god-like entities beyond mortal understanding. Their cults spread out across the globe, some through armies of monsters, some through sinister infiltration. In the Shadow War, you'll mostly be concerned with Nyarlathotep, a being that is a primal force of the universe. Their cult on Earth is the Children of Chaos, and they have infested one of the largest companies in the world.
