Cthulhu Mythos

[Lamp]

Anyone know if there's a decent PC game based on / in / around the Cthulhu Mythos ? Just dug out an old HP Lovecraft volume and kinda getting the flavour for it.

You could always play Call of Cthulhu.

But ofc that isn't pc based ><

World of Warcraft has quite a bit of lore based on Cthulu, C'Thun for example, which is the end boss of the latest raid dungeon. Although it's not that great, you would be better off just reading it

Catulluu iirc =P

games just wont come close to the books. Lovecrafts writing was all about building atmosphere and half imagined horror. Too much of a penchant for games developers to stick loads of gunplay in

K(silent h)-tul-hu.

Simple.

If you can't pronounce mythos you need another lobotomy and sent back to your room.

The Cthulhu mythos is great. Personally, I'm a fan of The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young. How's that for a mob name ?
