Are there any games Lovecratian beasts and ancient Gods?

Are they any good?

Outside of actual Lovecraft inspired games, the closest thing would probably be (other than maybe obscure games I've never heard of) Dark Souls and Bloodborne.

Not Dark Souls 2 though.

The Old Gods in WoW are based on Lovecraftian beasts, but don't play that.

There was a pseudo-adaptation of Shadow Over Innsmouth and Shadow Out of Time called "Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth".

It's a really tough game to play now (very buggy, hard to get running properly) but it had a lot of cool fights with Deep Ones, Star Children, Flying Polyps, and Great Old Ones like Dagon and Mother Hydra. Yithians also make a few appearances.

Call of cthulhu, Dark Corners of the Earth is ok. It starts off pretty good and atmospheric, but gets a bit too silly by the end of it.

Before anyone says it, Bloodborne is not a good example of Lovecraftian beasts and ancient Gods. It tries to do the whole eldritch monster thing but it doesn't do them justice at all.

Like others have said, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. Just be aware you'll have to patch it to run on modern systems.

Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder and Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage Director's Cut are decent Lovecraftian games that run well.

Eldritch is a quirky roguelike based on Lovecraft. You'll have to forgive the hipster graphics though.

Magrunner: Dark Pulse is like Portal but with Cthulhu.

Those are all the games in my Steam library that are specifically Lovecraft and that I thought were decent. I have Daily Cthonicle: Editory's Edition but I could never get into it.

>>
>>378246780
That is sort of a reasonable response though. You can't kill higher dimensional entities with a sword. Or a cane. Or a hammer. Any game that tries to do Lovecraft justice would just be about exploring dreamscapes until you are eventually driven to suicide or completely insane. Doesn't sound like high replay value.

Victory. A hollow and ridiculous notion. We are born of this thing, made from it, and we will be returned to it in time.

The great family of man. A profusion of errant flesh. Multiplying. Swarming. Living. Dying. Until the stars align in their inexorable formation and what sleeps is aroused once more. To hatch from this fragile shell of earth and rock, and bring our inescapable end.

So seek solace in the manner befitting your lineage, and take up your nugatory vigil, haunted forever by that sickening prose, echoing through the infinite blackness of space and time.

Ruin has come to our family.

It is buggy but there exist an unoffical patch that fixed almost all issues and it is really quite playable desu. I didn't get stuck and ejoyed it a lot.
The story of this game is very sad though, basically the game got fucked by the company that made devs rush it (like a lot and they planned to implement shitton of contet) it should also be a first part of a trilogy. There was a pic with all the details here on /v/ about it but I can't find it.

Definitely try this op as a lovecraft fan you would definitely love it

Futility: The Game
>>
>>378248351
yes. the term "lovecraftian" is generally associated with both of those things.
>>
>>378246506
It is a story about eldritch gods that fucked with humans and humanity. There are churches praising this old ones and doing sacrifices, they summon old gods and transfer into nightmare realms that exist in physical planes as well.
Even though you can kill them as bosses there is always this sense of helplessness and the ending is definitely lovecraftian no matter what ending you choose but "refuse" without umbilical cords just shows how all your actions were for nothing in the light of these great old gods.
There is also an insanity meter ffs. It is an action rpg so you do not solve mysteries while hiding in the shadows but you still uncover elder truths aka insight and all that jazz
anyone that says the game is not lovecraftian is a retard and should kys for baiting me into writing this blogx

To me, "Lovecraftian" means more than just tentacle monsters. His writing focused on the evil that lurks just below our level of understanding, the unknown that we can't possibly comprehend. True Detective season 1 is a very strong Lovecraftian story for thes reasons.

I keep shilling The Last Door.
Anons looking for a Lovecraft fix keep ignoring me.
Shame, because over half of the stuff typically recommended in these threads just isn't that Lovecraftian beyond surface influences or two, while The Last Door is probably the most successful love letter to Lovecraft and his influences I've had the pleasure of experiencing in video game form.

Other than it, definitely check out The Lurking Horror, The Hound of Shadow, Shadow of the Comet, Prisoner of Ice, X-COM: Terror from the Deep, Anchorhead, Eternal Darkness, Scratches, Darkness Within 1&2, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, Amnesia: The Dark Decent, Sunless Sea and Crawl.

I can't speak to other things added to the "Mythos" by later authors or fan fiction, video games etc. But as originally conceived by the author and as in the case with all Cosmic Horror you are not killing Cthullu. So trying to install some sort of power ranking wankdom leads me to believe we are not reading the same things.
>>
>>378250976
why do you people keep saying that? sure a lot of his early work is about undescribable entities but most of his work is pretty accurate about the horrors he talks about. It is mostly about the very powerful being and how humanity is futile in comparison to them. It is also about the cultust and witches and dreamlike adventures. Sure many people turn mad when they confront the horrors but not all of the characters.

Even the things that end up dead (and remain dead) in Lovecraftian fiction tend to come so at a great cost to people who are as far from the typical video game (or movie or pulp fiction) hero you could possibly get, with the caveat that a greater eldritch crisis was only averted for a indefinite time.

Plagiarize seems like a strong word man. I read at least 3 interviews before the show even wrapped in which the author talks about his love of Moore, Morrison, Ligotti. So when Moore writes 20 issues of a story featuring nothing but Lovecraft ideas, or 20 years of the league of extraordinary gentlemen, or Morrison bases his author avatar on a Michael moorcock creation is this plagiarism? We live in the shadow of the things that come before us.

136KB, 1024x768px
All of the Lovecraftian horror titles I know about were already mentioned. However, OP, if you are still here:

You might want to take an interest in a game called "Pathologic". It's Russian magical realism/horror game inspired by several major sources, among others Poe, Bradbury, Platonov and above all, Jorge L. Borges. And if you are a true /lit/-fag, that should probably already tell you why I'm mentioning it here.

It's also one of the few games that actually can compare to classic fiction in literature.

The story deals with a supernatural plague that seems to be related to strange nature and a history of a single town in a pseudo 1900 in pseudo-Russia. It deals with it's concepts of supernatural and horror in a much more abstract and indirect fashion than Lovecraft does, but it can at times induce similar feeling of profound, impossible-to-understand forces and sense of madness lurking somewhere around a corner.

The original game is from 2005 and it's very dated and very slow and clumsy, but still worth playing. If you are interested but want to pirate, be sure to pirate the HD Re-release version. There is an older version with nearly illegible translation floating around the torrents.
Alternatively, there is a remake in the works: it's not going to be released until Fall the earliest, but there is a demo for it, for free, on steam under the name Pathologic: Marble Nest. It's actually not a true demo: more of a showcase/early build so it's bugs galore and you can't save in it, but it's well worth experiencing.

If you are interested in knowing more, I'll gladly give you some more info. On the off chance you'd want to play the original, it's really good to know a few things beforehand, I can dump some infographics and general tips.

Not explicitly Lovecraftian, but definitely inspired by it. XCOM: Terror from the Deep has a lot of aliens that resemble them and its high difficulty makes it tense as hell to play.

>hurr durr bloodborne is not lovecraftian because you can kill the elder gods xDd
People do shit in Lovecraft all the time. They drive a boat into a (heavily weakened) Cthulhu, they banish the Dunwich Horror and Akeley guns down some Mi-Go. It's not that you can't defend yourself, it's just that it ultimately won't matter. Also, by the end of Bloodborne, you're barely human and if you consumed the cords, you've actually ascended humanity. You lose your humanity to kill these things.

Yeah man, that's a killer line. It's from top ten. As far as central premises go I think it's okay to jack that. I get into a tiff with one of my friends online for saying he basically lifted From Hell and transplanted the date and location.He says Faulkner for the normies I'd imagine. If you tic off a bunch of horror, sci fi and comics guys you're going to get some different reactions from people. If you're talking to Time magazine you name drop these guys, if you're talking to Wired you say something else. Guys gotta play the game on the promo circuit.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty obvious from that post. It's similar in some themes (it's heavily inspired by authors that either inspired Lovecraft, or were inspired by Lovecraft), but it does not do the obvious most notorious things.

>>378252734
>Overwhelming feel of dread and hopelessness, otherworldly shit
The supernatural is really more magical realism than lovecraftian horror though. And the dread is more melancholic - equally human and abstract. It's not a fear of what lies outside: Pathologic is an awe of what can lie inside.

>>378252837
>Now, hand me that scalpel.

>>
>>378252775
I'm not a big Lovecraft reader but I wanted to add to what you're saying. A fundamental Lovecraft element seems to be that everything human, everything good and beautiful, is cast up on the fringes of a chaotic universe of evil forces that are, ultimately, insurmountable (and even necessary). The "search for truth" is kind of a recent thing, in a sense, but it's a search that can grant you a perspective that humanity has been well-protected from (and maybe it can't even go on once it absorbs a certain truth or two). Lovecraft is just pushing these limits and making characters collapse under a burden of inhuman truths. I feel like those things are more fundamental than whether you can or can't kill (even temporarily) eldritch abombinations or not.

cthulhu is a fucking pleb

they did a pretty good job of killing demi gods tho.

That depends, have you actually read Lovecraft or are you one of these people who just talks about it on the internet?

If you read Lovecraft check out Bloodborne. Eternal Darkness is also good.

I doubt that, have you read Alan Moore? He steals a lot of shit. I just started reading Swamp Thing and an entire issue was just a Master and the Margarita rip off.

Sunless Sea is a pretty good - dark Victorian London and a lot of quality reading

nani?

what the fuck have they done with his works

I was talking about yog sothoth and nyarlyathotep, those people seem unambiguously stronger than the great old ones.

and of course, the dunwich horror was technically a demi-god, being the spawn of a woman and an outer god, but a couple of human scholars concocted a spell to kill the thing and send its divine essence back to its father before it could wake up the great ones by accident, so there are things in universe which can be fought, just none of the named eldritch horrors

GOAT Lovecraft game right here; if your /lit/ you'll dig the prose of the journal entries and shit too
>>
>>378245349
Bloodborne is the only game to get the whole aspect of it right. All the other games are shit because they're trying to be Lovecraft itself and not just what his stories represent. In short, they're more about the man than the essence. If a game references any of Lovecraft's works, it's trying too hard. The simple fact that Bloodborne is seen as Lovecraftian horror without actually directly referencing any of his works is why it is the best.

Who are you trying to fool? Reading the works of one mediocre author does not make you /lit/.

>>378259734
Not him, but A) Lovecraft was a lot of things, but definitely not mediocre. You might want to look up what that word means. B) second of all, it may be surprising but people can have concrete interest in one author but general knowledge of many others. Lovecraft is associated with a small army of other interesting authors and is hold in high literary regard: today you'll find academics read and talk about him more than general public.
C) What does it matter? It's just an excuse to have a decent discussion about Lovecraft and his reflections in game industry.

Fuck Lovecraft, give me a Pynchon inspired game
>>
>>378245818
Comparing bloodborne to lovecraft is sacrilege. Bloodborne is heavily inspired by gothic media, not lovecraftian.
>>
>>378246597
It's really not though, there are games that are way better fitting. Sunless Sea, Darkest Dungeon, Grim Dawn, and Dark Corners of the Earth are all better examples.
People are only saying Bloodborne because that's the only grimdark game sonybros know about.

What's your favorite of Lovecraft's stories?
Mine's probably "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath."

I'm aware, but he ain't apologetic or pretentious about it, he wears his influences on his sleeve. In fact, all great authors do.

Reminder that the Darkest Dungeon narrator has also done audio readings of Lovecraft stories.
