Pure PlayStation: H.P. Lovecraft’s work to me has always meant the useless inferiority we humans have when faced against the cosmos. (Although now people don’t hold him in such high esteem after some recent revelations about his character). We’re nothing and can do nothing in the face of true, abject terror. Which translates differently than horror. When I read his books it was all about creeping dread that reaches a crescendo into pure madness. More unnerving than scary because the characters could no longer experience something like fear. How well does this macabre form of writing hold up in the interactive video game, Call of Cthulhu? Well that is the question you can’t avoid asking because we’re nothing more than little meat puppet playthings.

It was the one game I loved that I know is Lovecraftian. 4/5 of these games are heavily Story driven/Interactive which might not cater to a majority of gamers.
Never heard of Conarium and Moons of Madness. Added them to my wishlist for a future sale.
