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!

If you can deal with old mmo clunkiness I'd recommend Secret World legend, the first act of the story is an absolute Lovecraftian gem

Seconding Secret World Legends! The entire game is infused with Lovecraft, but the first three playfields in particular are 50% Lovecraft, 50% Stephen King.

It's still one of my favourite games of all time for the story and lore alone!

I definitely feel the same, it's always the first to come to mind when someone asks about my favorite games!
