Some anon suggested this last sale (or maybe one before that) and it quickly became my obession for a while. I don't know the genre very well but it bills itself as grand strategy. Asymetric heroes vs villains gameplay with you as a bunch of elder god's cultists trying to bring about the end of the world. You have to operate out of the shadows/fly under the radar because you are always massively outnumbered but if you play it right you'll have the civilisied people of the world ripping eachother apart in blood feuds while you spread plagues and maddness to hasten your god's awakening. A wide variety of different gods with different play styles and different win conditions such as blotting out the sun and freezing the planet or spreading deep-one cults until the world's population are fishmen.
It's got like a million gameplay mechanics all running on top of eachother, interacting with eachother and constantly creating new opportunities and challenges. But you aren't expected to deal with all of them at once; focusing in one area as your victory condition while supporting it in one or two other ways is usually more than enough to pull off a win.
My only complaint is that magic is shit; too time consuming and fiddly to use with long training to get it and very specifc conditions to apply it.
