It's a short story, usually included in some kind of compilation. It's part of a book, but to my knowledge it hasn't ever been released as a standalone "novella".

Probably the most important game based on a book

I actually enjoyed the book. Never played the first metro but played Last Light and still followed where we left off. Still haven't touched 2034. Apprently that is loosely connected to LL

I heard they really overdid the purple worm. It was literally less than paragraph [ /spoiler]

Should I Play Call Of Cthulhu?
I really liked At the Mountains Of Madness and want to play something that feels similar to the book.
Also, if you're into Lovecraft and board games you should check out Arkham Horror or Eldritch Horror.

You should read Shadow over Innsmouth first so you don't get spoiled, because the game is heavilly based on that and that book is one of the best
