I just started reading Lovecraft and I'm in the mood for some cosmic shit. How this this? Any other "Lovecraftian/Cosmic Horror" games you would recommend?
Call of Cthulu
Isaac Torres
Cameron Gutierrez
It's more walking simulator than anything. It's also kinda predictable. The RPG aspects do not have any large effect on the game
However, it hits the atmosphere right on the fucking nose, I recommend it for that alone
Zachary Jackson
oh, and WWWWUUUUUUUUUUAHHHHHHHHHH LASSIE, CALL NIGGERMAN HE'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO IM FUCKIN LOSIN IT IM FUCKNIG GONNIG INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE
Joshua King
Dark Corners of the Earth. It hasn't aged well but is a ride.
Juan Edwards
Knowing what I'm getting into and for the right price I'm fine with "experiences" more than games. Good to hear about the atmosphere.
Henry Ramirez
Bloodborne +DLC is an obvious one. Not sure how it still manages to pull off "Lovecraftian" when you can fight and kill the gods, but I think the game had a really interesting way of handling your sanity with the Insight meter. I think it's a mechanic that gets overlooked but I think it's really fucking cool.
Ayden Johnson
I liked it but Sinking City has a hotter protagonist, I ship them together tho.
Carter Peterson
Angel Brooks
BTW since you just started, you die at the end
Jackson Turner
Dead Space 1 has better lovecraftian horror than this piece of trash
Christopher Foster

Moviegame where you press w until the next scene. The mystery is fucking boring and the ending is shit.
Thomas Young
How does this compare to the original game (the one published by bethesda)? The original was janky (but somehow the AI worked better for me than for others idk) but it had SOUL. This new one feels onions
Luke Mitchell
Best Lovecraftian game is Eternal Darkness.
Amnesia the Dark Descent and Machine for Pigs are ok as well.
Parker Sanchez
Moons of Madness is pretty dope.

>guy stumbles into town
>the town drunkard tells him all the nefarious secrets of the fish people
>runs away, glowniggers blow the place up IIRC
>at the end, it turns out he was one of the fish-people, related to the Marshes
>so instead of having his protagonist be invited by his family for a holiday, slowly discover the dark secrets of his ancestors from the inside, grapple with his own nature, and at the end finally realize the truth - a town drunkard just tells him everything
Was Lovecraft a hack?
Jason Diaz
He wrote a full story about the feelings of a road.
I guess he kind of lost it at some point.
Noah Perez
He certainly didn't initially believe what the drunkard told him, he was just curious about the bizarre tale. Often even the most inquisitive are bland to the truth that lies before them if it is too alien to their narrow perceptions of the universe. Most of Lovecraft's protagonists are reasonable men of science or average Joes with common sense yet they have to experience terrifying revelations firsthand to truly believe.
Angel Thomas
What does that have to do with anything? He could have had his fish-horror be about something more than fish, as he had a corrupted protagonist - but no, he just made an X-Flies episode in book form, where the "corruption" is just a spooky afterthought.
Blake Lee
The drunkard spells it all out for him and he doesn't buy it. That's just how he chose to write it. I think Lovecraft got hung up on concepts and was more of a romantic about ideas than the little details. He's a pulp fiction writer, he wrote short stories for trashy compilations of writers. Of course he's overrated, but most writers are. Most writers only have a few decent books in them and burn out. The Colour out of Space was brilliant, though. Far ahead of its time as a science fiction work of horror. Most writers don't worry about the little details, the story is just a vessel for a message or notion.

Play Dishonored

>How this this?
It's bad.
Ethan Morgan
Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies are great games but take a bit of time to get used to.
Darkest Dungeon depending how much you like turn based games.
Moon of Madness but try before buying.
Get the GOG version, the steam one is broken and deleted my saves.
Caleb Rogers
>Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies are great games but take a bit of time to get used to.
And by the time you get used to them, you realize what a fucking grindfest they are. Thank god for the cheat engine fast forward
Hunter Morgan
Multiple endings my man
Justin Johnson
Sinking city is broader and offers a bit more in my opinion.
Juan Ward
Darkest Dungeon and Bloodborne
Nathan Johnson
Bloodborne
Nolan Wilson
Unironically Amnesia: The Dark Descent as it actually casts you as a helpless mortal plaything with fragile sanity to boot
Bloodborne is amazing for cosmic horror, but takes away the helpless part pretty significantly (that said, the use of 'Insight' is kind of amazing)
