Fun for those who are looking for something different and abstract.

I don't really get the "Lovecraftian" angle of this game. Pleasing evil supernatural overlords by tempting or tormenting humans means that humans matter a great deal in the setting -- the exact opposite of Lovecraftian horror.

What do you mean by "abstraction"? Do you mean the game hinges more on character interaction instead of item fetishization? Or are you talking about some kind of "meta" play?

in Empire of Satanis some power now rests in control with the players, partially. With putting so much creation in the hands of the GM as well as the players it does make for a very sharp and unique gaming experience.

Not precisely "unique."
