Arkham is a dating sim game where the player, in the role of Charles Ward, finds himself in the midst of a Lovecraftian tale, with his sanity spiraling down in his obsessive quest to unveil the mysteries of his legacy.
But every nugget of information about his bloodline and the town’s mysteries will be hard-fought. How much is he ready to sacrifice? How ready is he to let others sacrifice? And, most important of all, will the stars be. right?
The game works on a 24 hour system, with certain actions available only at certain times. These actions will progress the day accordingly, so the player must carefully decide on what they will be doing during each time period – it’s up to him whether he’s going to focus on building relationships with girls or spend long hours studying cursed tomes. There are at least 6 endings to be found in the game depending on how it is played.​
