The Steam page describes Yog-Sothoth’s Yard as follows:
In this game, you inherit an ancient villa burdened with shadowy debts. You’ll manage a hotel and hire diverse staff members including Death, a dragon, a Spirit Hunter, and a bioroid maid. Enigmatic guests will arrive, each bringing their own mysterious events. Build your wealth through various methods like mining, adventuring, alchemy, and restaurant management, while adjusting your strategies based on the predictions of Oracles.
Caution: Consulting Oracles may decrease your sanity level!
The fate of the world will be shaped by your decisions, and your staff may fall for you based on your choices. This game offers up to 23 different endings.
Making money is great!! Making money is joyful!! What’s that, lose some sanity for the sake of earning money?
This dilapidated villa can be transformed into a luxurious hotel! As a boss who’s ruthless to customers but kind to employees, you’ll customize rooms specifically for your core staff! …Wait, why is Death sleeping in a pit?
Please ignore the man-eating plant. Kindly expedite the excavation of the mine and forest. Pay attention to every guest visiting the courtyard and listen to their Oracles to gain extraordinary powers, but be sure to manage your SAN value to avoid confronting the truth too soon. If you see a giant cat covered in eyes, please ask the front desk for a sick leave note.
