Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!

Happy 130th birthday, HPL!

What Cthulhu- or Lovecraft-themed CRPGs have there been that people like?

 

[Delterius]

Stygian, Call of Cthullu and the upcoming adventures of Lovecraft's cat with terminally racist naming.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Don't forget Infra Arcana.

 

[Sweeper]

Lovecraft was a closeted homosexual though.

 

[Morpheus Kitami]

Legacy: Realm of Terror, a dungeon crawler set in a haunted mansion. Has a bit of Poe in it though.

Daily Chthonicle
World of Horror
Alder's Blood

 

[TwoEdge]

Well, stretch the genre and theme a bit (okay, a lot), and you have Quest For Glory 4.

 

[Fedora Master]

There are no good HPL games because nerd faggots consistently fail to understand the source material.

 

[Comte]

Infra Arcana and Xcom Terror from the Deep.

 

[CryptRat]

Occult Chronicles is fun, interesting character building and different ways to solve problem depending on your stats and equipment.

Unexplored has The Dark Ritual expansion where you have to stop a cult trying to summon an elder god. It's very different from the base game too.
Occult Chronicles is another very interesting horror-themed roguelike/boardgame hybrid, some of its scenarios are very Lovecraft-inspired.

On the other hand, there are these two, ummmm, critically acclaimed titles.

Why nerd faggots? Just the faggots

They're just peddling satanism to children.

I said that in some other thread and I will say it again: the ONLY complete and deep understanding of Lovectaft's universe I've ever seen is this:

Nothing to understand dude, Lovecraft was a satanist.

ToME's expansion, Forgotten Cults, is "lovecraftian" and I like the classes and races it comes with. It also has eldritch dimensions in the form of ancient books (which are quite tough btw).

Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics.

You can't go wrong by mixing cthulhu and nazis.

Oh yes, "Cthulhu + Nazis" reminded me of actual obscure RPG, Another War, which is sadly doesn't work on modern systems.

 

[Fedora Master]

Shadow of the CometI 've heard good things about.

It doesn't? Works perfectly fine on my Windows 7 machine.

WARNING: Genuine weeaboo anime faggotry... but considering what we're laughing at normally, someone might find this funny.

Out of curiosity, what about the text adventures based/inspired by his works? Kadath, Lurking Shadow, Anchorhead.

Shadow of the CometI 've heard good things about.

Its fine for an adventure game from the time, except the control scheme is really, really, shit. Sometimes you can see items, sometimes you can't. oh, and for some reason the mouse basically functions like the arrow keys, rather than a cursor.
