Are there any good Lovecraftian games? I've read a lot of Lovecraft's stories and love the general tone and setting of them. I've played Bloodborne, and loved it's art direction and atmosphere. I wouldn't call it the perfect Lovecraftian horror game, though.
Are there any games that accomplish this?
>>321788826
Bloodborne
Dark Corners of the Earth
So my only winter sale games are:
Eldrich
Call of Cthulhu dark corners of the earth
Cthulhu saves the world
Spent like $4. My first impressions are:
Eldrich: love it! You get past the minecraft look really fast and the amto is God tier
Call of cthulhu: love it. Think bioshock meets lovecraft.
Cthulhu saves: not sure yet. To soon to tell.
Bonus pic related. What else is out there?
Saya no Uta is the only true answer
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
Bloodborne
There's not a lot of games that gets the feeling right
>>321789846
Edit: eldritch... This fucking phone..
>>321789846
There are twoi old lovecraftian adventure games wich im aware of:
- Prisoners of Ice
- Shadow of the Comet
And then I found out Magrunner: Dark Pulse. Which is puzzle fps game with magnetic fields with Lovecrafitan theme.
>>321788826
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is one of the most accessible and easily obtained examples of Lovecraft in vidya done right, Anon. Emulate it on your comp and enjoy the ride.
- Darkest Dungeon
- Bloodborne
- Amnesia: The Dark Descent
- Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
- Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land
- The Secret World
- The Deadspace Trilogy
- Sunless Sea
Enjoy.

I don't know man, arent dead space 2 and 3 way too much of an actionfest? First one seems to fit the bill though
>>321789914

On steam, but you'll need a slight mod to make it winnable; there's a bug on theshipwhere you have toshoot the lightsbut they don'trender, so you're just shooting blindand that's pretty non-doable.
10/10 atmospheric though.
Eversion definitely FEELs lovecraftian
Magrunner: Darkpulse is the only game that (legitimate spoilers)lets you play as a deep oneor something
>>321790458
First one, yes. 2 an 3 less so, but the setting as a whole, and especially the black markers + themes of unknowable cosmic evil lurking beyond the recesses of sanity are very much Lovecraftian.
I was pulling at strings for a bit there, sorry. With that kind of reasoning, I might have listed Mass Effect 1 as well, as the initial portrayal of The Reapers had a very Lovecraftian vibe to it - even if the rest of the game doesn't play on it at all.

>>321788826
You'll never really get a proper Lovecraft game because of how he structured his stories. Protagonists are almost always academics of some sort who can't do any of that action hero shit and all but one usually go insane by the end of the story. I think Dunwich Horror is the only story where protagonists kinda win, although I still think Color Out of Space is Lovecraft's best story.
Bloodborne
>>321791291
It's more Phillip K Dick or Ray Bradbury. Dark science fiction about existential angst and the sort.
The Consuming Shadow. It's a pretty mediocre game and very unfinished and unpolished, not to mention it's not remotely scary. But it's kind of fun for a bit.
>>321788826
ayy
There is very little good Lovecraftian anything. Even books.
>>321792560
ey lemme just second this shit. It's not really horror at all (besides the fearful sneaking so you don't die kind), but it's still a nice little blocky roguelike adventure game, and it's only like a buck fiddy right now. Check a vid or screenshots to see if the atmosphere does anything for you.

Hey, don't forget Lovecraft's self-insertwhose memories of his childhood were so awesome that the gods stole them from him because they were better than elysium and ambrosia
>>321792425
I had an idea about this guy who got cursed with the eye of Yog-Soggoth which grants him the power to see and recontruct the events of the past, and he uses it to solve paranormal cases which involves Lovecraft bestiary (a mix between L.A. Noire and Bioshock)
don't be a gay fag, play it
>>321792425
The Dunwich Horror ending seems like such a small victory in the grand scheme of things though thats probably the point. But there could be a Lovecraft game it just wouldn't be an action or FPS, unfortunately that means it wouldn't sell.

In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.

Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

Despite what you may think, and the popular perception that has sprouted up around the mythos that's certainly not been helped by modern authors (looking at you Alan Moore), there's no tentacle rape in Lovecraft. Hell, there's not even any tentacle consensual sex in Lovecraft. It was mostly terrible monster people, fish and all that. There's not any rape either.
Lovecraft was such a crazy old time racist, he thought people WILLINGLY having sex with nonhumans should be enough to freak people out. And aside from the ever famous Dunwich Horror (which did probably involved tentacles of some sort, to be fair), most of the times it showed up it was man-on-horrifying-monster. The first time it showed up, it was actually some explorer in Africa and a strange white ape monster goddess of some sort (learning this, of course, drives his descendant mad and he burns himself to death).Considering how the appearances of the fruit of that union are described, she probably did not look anything like pic related.
tl;dr Lovecraft hated furries and shared his horror with the world.

>Bloodborne is Lovecraftian

Lovecraft's works are characterized by futility. Anything the characters do is completely irrelevant and the greater beings of the mythos are so far above humanity that they could destroy them all without ever even knowing that they had done so.
It is "incomprehensible", cosmic horror. Bloodborne gets some of it right, but falters at the end by offering an ending that allows you to reign victorious and ascending to the status of the beings you fought.
>>321788826

They are, sorta, but the flood keeps the collective consciousness of everything it's ever consumed. Graveminds are the combined intelligence of galaxies worth of lifeforms, and the flood itself obviously isn't limited to any specific shapee or form or even a physical body.The flood are also more or less the re-incarnations of precusors, who were more or less the forerunners to the forerunners, so advanced that they lived on another plane of reality and lived through multiple big bangs and big crunches, their technology was all around mastering thought and consciousness, to the point where their buildings are more or less made of thought made matter and their thoughts could bend spacetime.
without spoilng everything, the flood can tap into that in larger infestations, since they are composed of multiple galaxies of intelligence. In the later stages of the forerunner flood war the flood could just throw stars and cut slices across th fabric of thee universe, it's biblical tier shit, and can infect both AI and organic beings just by talking to them and telling things that should not be seen or heard.
It sounds a bit crazy out of context but the books this is all explained in are 10/10 hard sci fi/cosmic horror and it's handled amazingly well, though the books are fucking dense; I read the Odyssey and Inferno when I was like 10 without a problem, and I had to re-read the forerunner books a few times to get them.

Well, that's not entirely accurate. You can't perceive some of the more horrendous shit until you've gained enough Insight.
Also, I don't think there's any way to permanently fend off the old ones. In fact in each ending I'm pretty sure there's always going to be more hunts, so in that sense it's futile. You can escape the hunt if you're lucky, but the hunt never ends.
Moreover, it's due to the whole "nightmare you can't wake up from" thing, but you can't beat said monsters without also receiving a transfusion of crazy alien blood that turns you into an immortal being who grows stronger by feeding on the blood of his kills.

Lovecraft was a bit more over the top than others at his worst (even then it was more motivated by fear than hate), but he mellowed out a bit. And it seems most people forget he was pretty much disdainful of anyone who wasn't middle-to-upper class WASP.

Bloodborne did a few things right.
Namely, it hid the fact that it was a Lovecraft game. The first third or so, you think it's some Van Helsing shit and you're just hunting werewolves, then you slowly learn more about the Great Ones as time goes on. So a good Lovecraftian game to me would disguise itself as a different genre, at least initially. It could be action, or a different flavor of horror. Seeing the genre and possibly even game mechanics change as you encounter increasingly more cthulhu shit would also parallel the literary stuff of reality as you know it crumbling away, or your worldview altering as you gain eldritch knowledge.
>>321789846
it´s kinda stupid that cthulhu, the most well none of lovecraft gods, is a small player in the lore
plus
actual lovecraft is kinda stupid. I mean 50% of the back universe was just an excuse for conan to fight lizard people and other weird ass creatures back in the day.
the other 30% is just crazy shit like for example the fact that an ice giant god caused the ice age in the lovecraft universe
only the remaining 20% is the actually cool scary stuff about ancient space gods that toy with humanity.
>>321808452
Fair enough. I think it was already mentioned but what is your favorite Lovecraft story?
>>321794837
Mine is "In the Mountains of Madness" for personal reasons.
>>321794837
Probably Rats in the Walls, honestly, for being the only story to actually disturb me.
That said, I also rather like "Under the Pyramids/Imprisoned with the Pharaohs," the official Lovecraft/Harry Houdini crossover, and "Sweet Ermengarde." The latter especially for Lovecraft managing to write a genuinely hilarious parody of romance stories.
>>321807616

>>321806007

>>321788826
Isn't the quality of being impossible to properly depict visually the point of a lot of Lovecraft's stuff? But people still do it anyway?
>>321808814
What a coincidence, I posted right after you: >>321808814
I did forget to mention, I really like Polaris as well. It's a great example of the obsessions with dreams as both a window into eldritch shit and an actual place that goes unexplored in a lot of modern Lovecraftian stories. It was nice to see that, among other things, it had a role in Bloodborne.
>>321808793
He isn't a small player by any means but I can see that given the shear amount of beings in the mythos that argument can be made.
>>321809071
Oops, meant I was this post: >>321808831
>>321808793
I'm pretty sure the biggest reason why Cthulhu is so popular is because he's one of the few monsters to get a concrete description. Most monsters are described in this vague sense or are kept secret, so they're left up to some degree of interpretation, usually just "mass of tentacles and eyeballs". If Azathoth were given a definite appearance, he'd probably be the face of the mythos.
>>321802821
Beat me to it, anon. Halo 5 sucked, but *eventually* the series is gonna go into some dark, deep shit.
>>321809206
I have to agree, the fact Cthulhu is one of, if not the only Lovecraft being to get both a concrete description and a near perfect way to show the, "ever present and unknowable" vibe.
That and I am fairly certain his presence in early film helped his popularity too.
I hope Del Toro gets the rights to make a Cthulhu movie like he wants.
>>321794837
I like Mountains of Madness and Dream Quest for Unknown Kadath senpai
>>321809206
>>321809095
the few pictures that do exist of Azathoth are the most scary lovecraft art I have ever seen.
Correct me if I´M wrong but isn´t cthulhu just a priest of Azathoth?
and isn´t he only important because him waking up would also mean Azathoth waking up?

make it either about an detective trying to figure out mysterious murders which in the end turn out to be religious sacrifices by a old god cult
or
have make it about a archeologist that is discovering some ancient temple that was built in honor of a old god and that is full of weird monsters.
or just make eternal darkness 2 which basically featured both aspects what I just described
the gameplay should feature solving puzzles, hidding from monsters and a little bit of combat.

>>321810546
>>321809907
The illustrations of Azathoth can vary wildly, though. As I said, there's a lot of interpretation with his exact appearance, whereas Cthulhu was described in relative detail.
So even if Azathoth is the strongest being in the mythos, he's not the face.

"Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family."
It's an earlier work, so it's a bit rougher. It's also almost entirely told in narration after anything of real interest has happened (ie. you're not getting the story of the original explorer finding the ancient city and monster) and the focus is more on "fuck, why is this family so crazy and ugly?" Which, even if I hadn't already given the ending away, wouldn't work as well nowadays because you know exactly what you're getting in a Lovecraft story, unlike then. Short enough, though, so a quick read.

>“Shub-Shub-Shub,” rumbles the huge and gloopy presence resting on the floorboards above my head. I jump halfway out of my skin, then step back smartly. There’s a high-pitched squeal of rage and pain as my foot lands on something that skitters out across the floor: a tiny, gracile horse-shaped thing as long as my outstretched hand.
>“Talk to me in human, Shub,” I call, pointing my face at the darkness above. “I’m here to negotiate.” Here to hear your last confession, I hope. Actually, I’ve overrun my safety point by a couple of paces—I should be standing on, or within three meters of, the door. But I need to find out if any of the troopers—or the little girl, Ada—are still alive. And I urgently need to find out just how intelligent this particular spawning unicorn Queen has become, to be laying gnarly plans to plant hundreds of fertile daughters on the population of a girls’ boarding school, rather than allowing nature to take its course and seed a half-handful of survivors at random around East Grinstead.
>“Shub-Shub-Shub,” says the thing. Then, in a heartbreakingly high voice with just a trace of a toddler’s lisp: “Daddy, why is it dark in here?”
>My stomach lurches. The voice is coming from the attic.
>“Daddy? Turn on the lights, Daddy, please?”
>Lights?
>I take a step back, closer to my safety zone, then swing my head round slowly. With the night vision monocular it’s like having a searchlight, able to pick out details only in a very small area. Close beside the door, there—I see a mains switch and a trail of wire tacked to the wall.
>“Daddy? I’m afraid . . .”

Flying spaghetti monsters aren't scary.
>>321802558
No, because it's terrible.

Are you nuts?
A flying spaghetti monster would be terrifying, especially if it's durable and is powerful somehow.
Getting eaten by spaghetti would also be horribly ironic.
World of Warcraft has cosmic horrors as big bads. In the expansion the shadow priests dwell more into that side of the lore.

Speaking of Bloodborne and how it hides it's lovecraftian themes.
I heartily reccomend people to read "14" and "The Fold" by Peter Clines. Just mentioning the fact that they have lovecraftian themes is already a huge spoiler, so I wont say more than that.
Alas,not vidya

It's like FTL but a lot slower.
you're free to move around but your two objectives are always
1: Oh fuck do i have enough Fuel&Food to make it back home?
2: uuuh...explore stuff to get resources
3: actual main quest (not important)
The game's graphics is nothing to write home about but the game's strength is in it's writing. I never had the game break the 4th wall but it does some stuff where it wouldn't surprise me if it did. Some of the places you end up in are pretty fucked up in different ways, some of them Lovecraftian.
Only get it if you don't mind it being slow and having to read a lot. Cause if you don't mind those two you're gonna love it.
