H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

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 wasnโ€™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)
  • Alone in the Dark Series (1992-2024)
  • The Lurking Horror (1987)
