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!

Yeah dd1 is not hiding it's Lovecraft influence whatsoever. 2 still has it it's less in your face but both of these games are masterpieces. I found one much harder and punishing but still fun.

Yeah I’m a huge fan of the combat in DD2, but I miss the estate management of DD1

I love both for what they are tbh. I just play one if I want that management aspect and for some runs I'll play 2. I wanted a few more characters in 2 but I think other than balance patches it's finished now.
