No new postsCall of Cthulhu
It was indeed really good. When you woke up in bed to the sound of some guys smashing down your door leading to you being chased between rooms while trying to lock and block the doors were truly awesome. It relied a little to much on shooting according to me but it’s still an amazing game.
I agree with this in full. I can still remember every instant of that particular moment in my head!
Only games that reek lovecraftian feel are Eternaldarkness and Dark corners of the earth.
Absolutely correct!
Amnesia, Penumbra, Dark Corners, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakening, etc. Of course Eternal Darkness was the absolute perfect representation of Lovecraftian in gaming,
Anybody here play the excellent Call of Cthulu game on the original xbox? That game was vastly underrated—one of the most atmospheric experiences on that whole system, and with far more adventure game elements than you typically see in FPS-style games. I used to go through that game once or twice a year—it was great!
Congratulations. You can thank your wall-of-image posts for making the rest of the thread more trouble to read than it’s worth. 
I hate that gif soooo much. I don’t know why, but it freaks me out.

Nope
The posts which you didnt bother to read are on first page without my
wall-of-image posts.
But atleast you noticed the gif
You hardly see any “creatures” in Amnesia. It’s the story, characters and setting that’s the thing. This was one of the genious things about Lovecrafts writing IMO. Many times he didn’t even describe how the “monsters” looked like, only vague descriptions about how it was to much for a human to comprehend.
Apsolutely agree with this, the reason why Amnesia was so good were not the monsters but the setting, sound and how you got the feeling that every moment you could be attacked by something.

DCOTE was amazing, I played it on my PC. The atmosphere was great and I think that they managed to get very close to the experience you could expect from something that is inspired by Lovecraft.
Totally forgot about this
I hope it returns one of my fav director,love his imagination and character designs

Same monster designer who worked on Panslabyrinth
Insane better make a bigger splash this year. It was so disappointing to have such a great artist tapping into a new medium then throw the project on the back burner. Guillermo is brilliant! Loved every film he directed and produced. He even made Blade that much better when he directed. (I know people are 50/50 on that one but I don’t give a SH**!)
When he had stated that the only games he considers masterpieces were Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, then you’d know Insane might be something special. 
Plus it hurt so much when he turned down the opportunity to direct At the Mountains of Madness! Any modern lovecraft reimagining/product would be a huge undertaking.
Oh and did anyone go to the Lovecraft Film Festival last weekend?

I was actually wondering about this a few weeks ago. Well, 2017 is better than never…

I wonder what happened here? The new SH-game will obviously still be great but what this means for the Cthulhu-game is way more clouded.
NP: A Link Between Worlds, Beneath a Steel Sky and Vampyr
So, some great news. There are 2 Lovecraft games. Frogwares is still working on it’s game:
http://frogwares.com/sinking-city-news/
Name is Sinking City
It’s a Open world investigation Lovecraftian game
The lovely screenshots:
Call of Cthulhu E3 2016 trailer looks extremely old school.Sinking City’s concept art rather more thrilling for now.
“Going on means going far - Going far means returning”

Cyanide game is RPG based, not strictly AG.
