What are some good Lovecraftian video games?
>>332337131
tropico 3
I liked the walking simulator parts of Dark corners of the Earth
>>332337131
the only decent are:
Call of Cthulhu
Amnesia
Thats it
inb4 Bloodborne
Darkest Dungeon
eternal darkness
>>332337309
Bloodborne :^)
>Sunless Sea
>Darkwood
>Pathologic
>Knock Knock
>The Void
>CoC: Darn Corners of the Earth
>Amnesia
>Bloodborne
>Cryostasis
>Silent Hill 1 and 3
>Siren Blood curse (Ps3 game)
>Darkest Dungeon
>Eldritch
>Eternal Darkness
>STALKER (kind of a stretch, but the cults, wishmaker, and the mutations in themselves make it Lovecraftian)
Highly recommend Darkwood though, still in EA but can easily be gotten 40+ hours for how it is now.
>>332337669
you forgot LEGO: Batman
>>332337931
>LEGO: Batman
stop that
>>332337309
It's the quintessential Lovecraftian game you dingus
>>332337131
Evening starter
it plays out like one, especially towards the end when you get some exposition when you find out someone tried to pull a reanimator
But how do you write in that cosmic horror style without coming off as some reddit-tier wannabe?
>>332338563
it's not all cosmic horror m8
Jesus you can see the autism emanating from him
>>332338563
Lovecraft was very much a fedora tipper of his time
The secret world
eldritch is a fun little dungeon crawler
>>332337292
This pretty much but add bloodborne.
infra arcana is great.
it's also free
>>332338563
read lovecraft, then read anything involving the cthulhu mythos written by august derleth.
you'll see the difference
Is Cthulhu mythos real?
>>332337669
>STALKERIsn't the noosphere a bit lovecraftian in some concepts as well? I could definitely imagine it in a lovecraft story
>>332340349
eldritch means weird, sinister, and ghostly, so a lot of stuff qualifies honestly
>>332337669
>no Codename: STEAM
That game is LITERALLY lovecraft, it has a lovecraft character in it, and all of the enemies are lovecraftian horrors.
>>332340349
>noosphere
Absolutely, in addition to in CoP where you are walking and from the sky a squad of DUTY soldiers comes out from a beam of light. Their PDA's read that they were stuck in a dimension of infinite mist for weeks.
Fuck, look at the bloodsuckers themselves, the controllers, and the local wildlife. The Zone in itself comes from the monolith an alien entity for sure, possible a great one.
>>332340668
Is it Lovecraftian in spooks though? I can take a basic RPGmaker game, and rename all the enemies to lovecraft shite, change the sprites and call it lovecraft. The story as well.
Also another great Lovecraft game: Don't Starve. The whole story through the ending is incredibly disturbing. Wish it got more love.
>>332338176
hahahaha
The first Witcher had some Lovecraft shit
>>332340326
kill yourself to find out
>>332339461
Fucking this
Lovecraft and the whole "cthulhu-mythos" is all cringeworthy cancer.
>>332340791
Lovecraft doesn't have to be spooky, not everyone of his stories are horror.
>>332340791
The monolith wasn't an alien though it was just an illusion by the C-consiousness. Still, it is never explained why when someone wishes something that it expands the zone 5km, in addition to the wisher themself suffering adverse affects ranging from becoming stone to being blinded.
>>332339461
As a fan of HP Lovecraft I have to agree
>>332341134
i couldn't tell if that one with that dude's skull was a comedy, but it still made me chuckle
>>332337131
Undying is really lovecraftian.
>>332341090
>>332339461
He wasn't a fedora tipper really. If you are just referring to his blatant racism, in his time period the majority were out-right racist. His family had an outright history of insanity. I'd say all things considered, him being an introvert and hating niggers is getting off pretty light.
Also you guys would probably enjoy this, based on one of his short stories "From Beyond".

Blame August Derleth for making so much fanfiction and coining the term "mythos"
Anybody else hyped for the new game CoC: the sinking city?
Supposed to be made by the devs of Dark Corners of the Earth.
>>332341692
>Blame August Derleth for making so much fanfiction and coining the term "mythos"
>he doesn't know that the cthulhu mythos is a collaborative effort from many different writers
August Derleth was the only writer out of the bunch that made garbage like the war in heaven shit.
Batman: Arkham asylum
Half-life is kind of lovecraftian
Reminds me of haunterer of the dark
>they're waiting for you Gordon
>in the test chamber
>>332340863
>doesn't have a PS4
>never played the game
hahahahahaha
>>332342069
>implying there would be any such collaboration if Derleth didn't have such a boner for Lovecraft, try shopping him out to publishers after death, then end up making his own publishing house for both Lovecraft's and his own work wherein he hacked together Lovecraft's notes
He's responsible for all of it
>>332342431
I really want to play it
:^(
>>332342507
That collaboration was going on during Lovecraft's life.
Have you done no research at all?
>>332341401
Not just the racism. He hated humanity in general and it shows in is works.
>>332342903
Your point? A lot of writers or philosophers were misanthropic.
Cthulu shit is pretty dull memes aside. I much prefer randolph Carter stories.
Some other notable stories are dreams in the witch house, rats in the walls, the one with dude which let's you interact with the fourth dimension and charles dexter ward.
>>332342903
Humanity is pretty shit though
>>332340326
No, the Outer Gods are definitely not real.
>>332343394
If you like Randolph, you'll like Codename STEAM. He's one of the characters, and he's my favorite.
>>332341293
Holy fuck, I loved that game when I was little.
Was is just me or did it get way less scary after the first boss?
bloodborne is literally the only game to do lovecraft-esque horror good
prove me wrongCoC: dark cornersis garbage after for first 2 hoursso you can't
>>332343638
I thought it was scary the whole way through.
>>332337292
Eternal Darkness you stupid stupid
What's your favorite story?
Shadow out of Time is probably my favorite so far.
>>332343894
Rats in the Walls fucked me up as a kid.
Especially cause I would occasionally hear mice scurrying about.
>>332343894
Mountains of Madness is probably my favorite, but The Rats in the Walls was the first story that got me hooked. I also like all the dream cycle stuff.
>>332337131
Magrunner: Dark Pulse
>>332343894
I think At the Mountains of Madness, just because you never figure out what the one guy that saw over the mountain range that drove him to madness. I mean they just got done getting chased by a shoggoth, but what could have been worse that he saw exactly?
>>332337131
underrail gets pretty fucking crazy towards the end
>>332343657
Bloodborne is my favorite Lovecraft inspired game just because I love Souls gameplay and the style is excellent, but in terms of actually sticking to the source material it is by far the worst Lovecraft game ever made. The whole point of Lovecraft is that humanity is insignificant and the elder beings are so unbelievably strong that no human can even look at them without going insane. In Bloodborne the player character completely shits on this concept, you just slaughter elder being after elder being and become the master of the universe at the end. It's totally not Lovecraftian at its roots, Call of Cthulhu is much better in that aspect since the player character ultimately loses just like every Lovecraft character is supposed to.
>>332344217
What am I looking at?
>>332343724
Maybe I just got used to the scares.
Bought it on gog for like $1 awhile ago, guess it's time to have a nostalgia playthrough.
>>332337131
What are some games where I can be a hack writer with a gross underbite?
>>332343894
i like the whisperer in darkness.
it'd probably make an okay movie
>>332344272
>he doesn't think turning into a squid kid is losing
>he doesn't think being trapped in the dream forever is losing
Is this game any good? I bought it on sale for cheap. I'm not wild about the art style, but I can get past that.
Whisperer in the Darkness or Thing at the Doorstep.
You can't look at that man and tell me he wasn't autistic
>>332344457
Alan Wake.
>>332337131
Sunless Sea.
>>332344501
It's good.
>>332342903
great guy.
He also named his cat Nigerman and mentioned him in many of his stories.
>>332344489
how is turning into an Elder God losing? you straight up KILL and Elder God in one-on-one combat at the end of the game, then you steal its power and become an Elder God yourself. that is power fantasy anime tier shit, that would never ever remotely happen in a true Lovecraftian story
>>332340668
>recommending shit games
Don't be an asshole anon
>>332340668
Codename Steam is shit though and has Wil Wheaton in it, making it double shit.
It also has Lucina from FE for the waifufag and normalfag audience and it still failed
>>332343795
This anon gets it
>>332344163
I always wanted more details on the giant things randolph thought were mountains on the way to kadath
>>332344501
i put about 8 hours into it, really really fun if you can get past the not-minecraft artstyle
>>332341401
Hating niggers is a good thing though, look at what they did to Detroit. It's worse than some of the abandoned cities Lovecraft described in his books.
>>332344610
DON'T TRY TO FIND NAME OF EATEN.
>>332344660
>>332344718
Why does everyone hate this game?
Are they mad they didn't get their advance wars sequel?
>>332337669
>Silent Hill 1 and 3
Also 4. You have an introverted, possibly autistic unreliable narrator who never leaves his house and accesses weird alternate dimensions in his dreams. It's Lovecraft as fuck.
>>332344501
It's a pretty good roguelite. The soundtrack is awesome.don't look away from the statues
>>332344489
>Return to the hellhole known as Yharnam
>Stay in the dream as a cripple
>Be rebirthed as an elder god in a dreamscape where you can't be attacked like all the others and looked after by the Doll.
It's a souls game so all the endings aren't a happy ending, but that has to be the happiest one.

The game can go so quickly from silly to extremely spooky, like the Post Office island.
What's the secret message you get at the bottom of it, again?
>>332344926
It's a shittier version of Valkyria Chronicles with Wil Wheaton, and it's not Advance Wars.
>Tfw no At the Mountains of Madness game where you explore a sprawling ruined city of the elder things descending deeper and deeper into the antarctic depths while the ever present sense of "wrongness" grows more and more
Feels bad man
>>332344457

>>332345174

Should I do it? It's about 12 freedom dollars.
>>332345037
this tbqh. you can also give like 75% of the NPCs happy endings, as opposed to Dark Souls where almost every single NPC dies a sad death. for all of its spooky edginess Bloodborne is really the most optimistic FromSoft game

He was also Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: Next Generation, but most of /v/ is too young for that.

Let's just take any game with horror or alien references and say it was inspired by Lovecraft:
The thread.
>>332345903
He was fine in Stand By Me tho.
>>332345734
Yes absolutely. Be patient with the game, seriously, don't dismiss it. It's a survival/moral simulator first, and a combat game second.
The game doesn't do a very good tutorial, so I don't blame anyone for using a guide for the first day.
>>332345903
Oh shit, I thought he was okay in that. Next Gen was the shit.
So why does everyone hate him?
>>332345360
One was released on steam literally called AtMoM. They said it was in Beta form currently but its completely unplayable due to multiple issues, most notably frame rates.
feels bad man
>>332345903
I was never big on star trek full stop. My uncle is a trekky and tried to get me into it but it just doesn't float my boat
>>332346064
He was awful in TNG, basically just a male version of a Mary Sue, the Gary Stu.
Although Picard puts him in his place pretty often.
>>332346104
Did you give DS9 a try? It doesn't feel trekky at all which is why its the best series.

It's a game that deliberately tries to hurt you.
Three characters take part in a story and you can play as each of them to see a different take on the events that unfold.
I chose the doctor a recurrent theme of his character is exhaustion, well the game conveyed it so well it stunned me since I myself felt completely spent by the end of the game.
Buy it if you are patient, if you are not I still would suggest giving it a try

No one cares about your memes /pol/. The point was that Lovecraft's racism was not typical even among contemporaries. Whether or not that is morally wrong or anything is irrelevant to the point that even for his time he was considered pretty fucking out there.
>>332348415
>The point was that Lovecraft's racism was not typical even among contemporaries
Yeah it was actually. Everyone referred to blacks as niggers/negroes.

>While Lovecraft's racial attitude has been seen as directly influenced by the time, a reflection of the New England society he grew up in,[48][49][50][57][58] his racism appeared stronger than the popular viewpoints held at that time.[50][56] Some researchers also note that his views failed to change in the face of increased social change of that time.[25][48]

>>332344272
I dunno, I sort of give Bloodborne a pass in this regard when I consider how ambiguous pretty much every location, character and event in the game is in terms of how 'real' it is.
Being inspired by the Dream Cycle first and foremost, I was never really sure what was supposed to be a dream and in the end whether I was ever truly awake at all.
Sure, the Great Ones exist, because they're the kicker for the whole setting and plot, but the game did a pretty good job at making their origins and existence pretty alien in that you were never quite sure what was a God or not. I assumed that most of the godlike things that you meet (and kill) in the game are simply ascended humans or avatars of some greater power shrunk and weakened down to three-dimensional space.
By the end of the game, you've (maybe?) killed the Moon Presence (a nod at Nyarlathotep at the end of the Dream-Quest), but what have you really achieved? You yourself have 'ascended' and what state Yharnam and all of its inhabitants is in is still not truly defined.
I'm playing that shadowrun hong kong game on the recommendation of a friend even though i thought the base game was whack and it has a badass lovecraftian plot that is super well written. Theres this super lovecraftian plot device where everyone in the neighborhood you're laying low in starts to have nightmares every night -- the SAME nightmare. A big part of the game is investigating this and asking people about their personal experience exploring the nightmare, its fucking awesome so far.
There's literally nothing wrong with being racist, unless you're white
>>332337131
has anybody ITT ever read lovecraft before? he's such a bad writer, it's hilarious. his works are the literary equivalent to "so bad they're good" horror movies you always see youtube people making fun of.
it's actually comical to me that people have parsed his works as these grimdark tales.
>>332341951
What are u talking about? It's not the same ppl at all and this game is a Sherlock Holmes game. It's from the people that made the last Sherlock Holmes (which is bretty gud)
>>332356247
Most people here have never read his work.
I prefer his work in audiobook format, semi-acted.
That with the right music becomes tolerable.

>>332356580
he built a pretty interesting world, i'll give him that. i didn't mean to sound like i don't like his work, because i really do. it's great source material. it just bums me out seeing how popular he's gotten and how i just know that some asshole is going to make a 2spooky lovecraft hollywood blockbuster in the next couple of years.
i'm going to listen to this, btw. i love radio dramas.
bloodborne is the first game I've played that actually managed to make me feel the idea of "cosmic horror" through the gameplay and level design.
>>332350841
The game falls apart pretty badly towards the end
>>332357056
It's really good. Shame I can't find anything else.
But yeah, his best legacy was the world and creatures he built.
>>332355721
I know this is a memepost but it perfectly explains why bloodborne is actually a very good lovecraft game. even at the end of the game you don't really "win". the elder gods are never really explained. their motives remain a mystery. it's probably the most faithful representation of lovecraftian horror in the videogame medium.
>>332356247
the way he writes makes things a chore to get through sometimes, but the horror is still there.
>A writer from last century had racist views
>This means that we should ignore his life's work, pretend he doesn't exist, and purge him from our collective knowledge
>This is what SJWs actually believe!!!!
The fact that he was a racist or an autist has nothing to do with the quality or influence of his work.
>>332357461
the things he describes are are conceptually horrific, yes. it just feels like a baz luhrmann film with ghouls whenever i read lovecraft, though. just very dense, whimsical prose.
>>332340326
Yeah.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop
Actually this reminds me of a game I heard of I've been trying to remember.
The game is a text adventure, the story is that you are a college student who goes to his computer lab to work on a paper. While working on it a snow storm occurs and because you stay to long in the lab you can't leave and have to sleep there for the night. While there you eventally hear noises coming from the basement and decide to investigate.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?
>>332350485
God Bethesda is a shit company. On the other hand imagine when Cthulhu lore becomes the zombies of entertainment. All it's gonna take is one very successful game before it blows up and we all hate it
>>332357523
This, you can still enjoy his work without giving his beliefs any thought.
That said, this is easier with some of his stories than others, considering how many of them are practically based around miscegenation.
>>332356279
No, he's actually right. The dev studio that makes the Sherlock Holmes games has a decent amount of the call of Cthulhu devs that left after Bethesda fucked their game over. Do your research before you make yourself look stupid
>>332345360
>no Guillermo del Toro At the Mountains of Madness movie
>>332357523
Not in America you can't. You have to be politically correct all the time or Twitter and the media will jump on tour shit and demonize you
I feel Don't Starve is pretty Lovecraftian.
Bravely Default.
>>332359626
Is it really? Does it even have a plot?
lovecraftian horror is shit meant for autists and gothfags
>>332360019
You probably just don't get it.
How would someone go about representing "wrongness" in a Lovecraftian game. How would you create and incomprehensible enemy?
>>332360261
blur effect over the enemies. Like a censored penis.
>>332360585
Black bar over every enemy saying "Whoa, can't show that on a sane board."
>>332360261
Make it so the player can't actually see the creature. Whenever you look at it it's blurry or some other effect covers it, and makes your character go insane.
Basipally every horror game.
The guy has been so disgustingly influential in the horror genre we might as well just call it "lovecraft"
>>332337669
>STALKER (kind of a stretch, but the cults, wishmaker, and the mutations in themselves make it Lovecraftian)
The artifacts are items we cannot comprehend or understand, yet we are drawn to them and attempt to use them. Lovecraft deals a lot with "The horror of the incomprehensible". Imagine a nice setting, and twist it to become surreal, lurking with evil monsters and things from otherworlds. The Zone is perfect for this.

>2spooky lovecraft hollywood
In the Mouth of Madness is a pretty good Lovecraft b-move fun ride.
>>332360261
Make it look like a normal creature at first glance, with a few wrong features that get more and more pronounced the more you look at it.
>>332361005
Normal creature, fucked up shadow
Like Bayonette, kinda.
>>332355829
Not really. The game was still amazing after that.
>>332345360
Zoetrope Interactive, the company who did Darkness Within, the two best modern Lovecraft inspired games, is making a Mountains of Madness game called "Transcend"

Is it a true Lovecraft game if you can kill enemies?
>>332337131Undertale
>>332355829
I liked the bit where you attack Innsmouth with the army. It was a nice touch to take part in a part of the lore that is only hinted at in the source material.
>>332361539
Yes.
Its just not a lovecraft game if you don't kill yourself at the end of it.
>>332360261
How about a moving representation of that deep dream picture edit generator. I don't have it on my computer, but I remember some other anon posting a webm of a frog being poked and screaming, and it was this moving, creepy ball of rapidly changing tentacles and animals.
>no Dreams in the Witch House game with an unlockable Brown Jenkem campaign
>>332361539
Yeah. Lovecraft is about the unknown. As long as there is scary unexplained mystery shit in the game and an overwhelming sense of insignificants, it doesn't really matter what else you do, your game is lovecraft inspired..
>>332343894
The Shadow Over Innsmouth
I won't forget when they tried to open the locked door
>>332360261
You know the invisible demons in Doom? How they'd kind of refract light. Like that but stories tall
>>332337131
Is that Adam Sandler Sr.?
>>332361587
I mean, a sailor sort of kills the monster in Call of Cthulhu with his boat so I guess.
>>332343894
Cool Air and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
>>332343894
>only one person answers The Color out of Space
Shit taste, easily the best story
How has no one mentioned Age of Decadence? It's an isometric crpg set in a post apocalyptic Roman Empire with Lovecraftian juju in the background.
Darkest Dungeon takes a shit ton of direct, shameless inspiration from Lovecraft's stories; The Rats In The Walls, Dunwich Horror, etc.
>>332362003
No he doesn't.
>>332361616
This is a really good idea
>>332343894
Music of Erich Zann
>>332362254
He literally sails into it and makes it shit through it's head though.
>>332341134
But muh old ones
>>332362553
That doesn't happen at all. The ship bumps Cthulhu and he's like "fuck this shit I'm going back to sleep".
>>332337131
any game that involves racism
since only edgy racist manchildren like lovecraft
>>332362729
The awful squid-head with writhing feelers came nearly up to the bowsprit of the sturdy yacht, but Johansen drove on relentlessly. There was a bursting as of an exploding bladder, a slushy nastiness as of a cloven sunfish, a stench as of a thousand opened graves, and a sound that the chronicler would not put on paper. For an instant the ship was befouled by an acrid and blinding green cloud, and then there was only a venomous seething astern; where—God in heaven!—the scattered plasticity of that nameless sky-spawn was nebulously recombining in its hateful original form, whilst its distance widened every second as the Alert gained impetus from its mounting steam.
This sounds more like his head bursts open and smells like crap.
>>332362975
and immediately began reforming
>>332362975
Last I checked humans are incapable of killing old one's so at most they just banished him.
Still pretty fucking metal though
>>332362975
So you know nothing about Cthulhu at all. Right.
>>332361397
Looks interesting, but still not exactly what I was hoping for, still I'll watch it. Thanks anon.
>>332363138
>>332363104
Okay, you win. He doesn't get killed.he still smells like shit
>>332363243
The screenshots seem to all take place in some sort of research facility, there definitely going to be some other environments to explore.
>>332340152
I wish Clive Barker did more vidya
Lovecraft comes across as what we might call a Goon. Freaking out over the ocean? Yeah, Goon.
>>332363459
I wish he wrote more books like what he wrote in the 80s. Everything he's written in the past 20 years has been doodoo fantasy for girls.
>>332343894
I like Haunter In The Dark, The Music of Erich Zann, and The Thing On The Doorstep.
>>332363480
Yeah, the dude is a fucking goon. He wasn't just afraid of the ocean. He was afraid of blacks, asians, poor people, cats, rats, dogs, fish, old houses, old families, the british, and smelly vegetation.
And he had a nightmares about that shit chasing him and he could not understand why.
hence, lovecraft
>Nobody mentionned demonbane or nyaruko.
>>332363548
Last thing I enjoyed by him was Undying, the game DreamWorks and EA made
>>332363480
>>332363921
Newfags please go.
This entire board is afraid of the ocean fyi, we have regular threads about it.
>>332364069
1. Those aren't games.
2. Both are garbage.
>>332363921
So he was /v/?
>>332364185
but i like lovecraft
i was just explaining that his goonish fears informed his writing
>>332344471
>it'd probably make an okay movie
it sure did
I highly recommend it, but keep your expectations in check. It's fanmade with no budget and it shows. However they were passionate about the project and if you can get over how cheap it looks, it's very enjoyable. My favorite Lovecraftian movie by far, but then again there really isn't all that much competition.
>>332361757
I'd like a No Man's Sky with incomprehensibly large space entities drifting from planet to planet.
>>332356580
the thing on the door step is really good, not the wayne june version tho
>>332363921
I was reading some of his stuff and it sounded so hysterical I couldn't relate. I have a panic disorder and I couldn't relate to this guy because he's a superstar of aversion, not horror.
