With the release of Sinking City 2, I figured it was time to take a look back at some great games with some heavy Lovecraftian inspiration. You know, the cosmic horrors, descending into madness, creatures beyond our understanding. That kind of thing. And yeah, he wasn’t exactly a stellar guy, but he did create some pretty cool mythos. Without further ado, here are 10 Lovecraftian games that I think you should check out, in no particular order.

  • Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (2005)
  • Call of Cthulhu (2018)
  • Bloodborne (2015)
  • Amnesia Series (2010-2023)
  • Penumbra Series (2007-2008)
  • SOMA (2015)
  • Still Wakes the Deep (2024)
  • Dredge (2023)
  • Moons of Madness (2019)
