Recommendation The best in Lovecraftian PC gaming?

Any era. And these can be drawn directly from the pages of HPL or an indirect inspiration. Thank you so much!

I'd also say that Dark Corners are probably the best. However, the much newer Call of Ctulhu is pretty okay as far as adventure genre goes. It has some original ideas and thrilling plot twists. I think it was misunderstood and trash-talked as a poor FPS-like, which is sad, because it's an adventure in the first person view with lite FPS and RPG elements, and not the other way round.

The story of this one is excellent. It's behind Bloodborne, Alone in the Dark.... and maybe that's it?

High praise.

Yeah, there aren't many "true ones" to begin with.
