Lovecraftian games: about the games

The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu

An action-adventure for up to four players in co-op: explorers hunt for treasure in a cursed jungle where monstrous creatures that warp reality lurk. A madness system inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s oppressive atmosphere distorts perception, blurs the line between reality and illusion and breeds paranoia in the group. Aboard the galleon they sign a contract with the captain and get gear in exchange for treasures brought back, while abandoned forts hold logbooks that unlock new starting points. They venture deeper in search of The Mound, said to hide riches beyond imagination.

Dead by Daylight

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical multiplayer action game set in a realm of eldritch evil where even death offers no escape. Four determined Survivors face a bloodthirsty Killer in a tense contest of nerve and wits. Survivors play in third-person with better situational awareness, while the Killer plays in first-person and focuses on hunting down their prey. In each encounter the Survivors must escape the Killing Ground without being caught, and since every level is procedurally generated, the environment changes each time you play.

DREDGE

DREDGE is a single-player fishing adventure with a sinister undercurrent. You captain a fishing trawler through a group of remote isles and the depths around them, uncovering what lies beneath the surface. You sell your catch to locals, complete quests, and learn about each area’s troubled past. You improve your boat with better equipment to trawl deep-sea trenches and reach distant lands, but you must watch the clock, since the biggest threats hide in the fog over night-time seas.

Darkest Dungeon

Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic roguelike turn-based RPG about the psychological stresses of adventuring. The player recruits, trains and leads a team of flawed heroes through twisted forests, forgotten warrens, ruined crypts and beyond, facing not only monsters but also stress, famine, disease and the ever-encroaching dark. There are 16 playable hero classes, including the Plague Doctor, the Hellion and even the Leper. Weary, shell-shocked characters can rest in town at the Tavern or the Abbey to keep their stress in check, and the game features character permadeath, procedural dungeons and high replayability.

Ultros

Ultros is a psychedelic metroidvania in which you wake up stranded on The Sarcophagus, a giant space-drifting body resembling a cosmic uterus that holds an ancient demonic being, ULTROS. Caught in the eternal loop of a black hole, you explore the place and meet its inhabitants to understand the role you play. In a science-fiction world with an eccentric art style, you fight brutal close-quarter battles against cosmic lifeforms where precision is all that counts, while also cultivating greenery that opens obscured paths. Thanks to the loop, you can start over at key moments and unlock new areas and abilities.

Forgive Me Father 2

Forgive Me Father 2 is a first-person shooter sequel that returns to a world inspired by H. P. Lovecraft’s myths, where madness waits around every corner. You pick up the story of the Priest from the first game and set out on a path toward salvation while balancing on the edge of sanity. The game is built on a dark hand-drawn comic-book look and on battles against hordes of possessed foes that keep evolving into ever more twisted forms. A range of weapons with more powerful variants, along with abilities fuelled by madness, round out the fight.

SKALD: Against the Black Priory

SKALD: Against the Black Priory is a retro party-based RPG set in a grim-dark fantasy world of tragic heroes and Lovecraftian horror. The player leads a company of broken heroes from the shores of Idra, fighting tactical turn-based battles while the story branches through dialogue and choices. You build a character with a class, background and stats, develop them up to level 20, and cook or craft from recipes. Graphics are pixel art from thousands of hand-drawn tiles in a Commodore 64 palette, plus an optional CRT filter and the SKaDE tool for new adventures.

Cultist Simulator

Cultist Simulator is a narrative card roguelike about apocalypse and yearning from Alexis Kennedy, creator of Fallen London and Sunless Sea. Set in the 1920s among hidden gods and secret histories, it casts the player as a seeker after unholy mysteries. Combining cards, you shape your own tale, found a cult devoted to the Red Grail, the Witch-and-Sister or the Forge of Days, recruit believers and promote them to disciples, translate grimoires and hunt for the Star Shattered Fane. Every choice alters the story, and the 20-40 hour game also offers a legacy that outlasts death.

KILL KNIGHT

KILL KNIGHT is an ultra-responsive, arcade-inspired isometric action shooter. You are a condemned knight – a desecrated corpse inside reanimated armor – banished to the Abyss with a single purpose: kill the Last Angel. Across five eldritch layers you exploit enemy weaknesses, perform brutal executions, cycle through weapons to manage resources and unleash wrath blasts, while staying alive raises your Kill Power. Completing challenges unlocks new gear for your Knight’s Arsenal, four difficulty settings are available, and Sever Mode merges all five layers into one extended arena challenge.

Dolmen

Dolmen is an action RPG that blends science fiction with cosmic horror. The player is cast onto a hostile alien world called Revion Prime to bring back samples of a crystal known as the ‘Dolmen’, which can allow interaction between realities and could thus revolutionise space exploration. In combat you switch natively between melee and ranged weapons, while energy is used not only for the latter but also to trigger Energy Mode, which imbues melee weapons with elemental status effects. Players explore a devastated world, face gruesome bosses and try to survive.

Worshippers of Cthulhu

Worshippers of Cthulhu is a strategy simulation in which you lead the Cult of Cthulhu. You decide whether your followers toil, conquer, or devote their lives to dark rituals, and you manage the daily affairs of the cult. You found and expand cities across several islands, run production chains, manage your workforce, and explore perilous ruins that take up valuable space. Rituals involving Dagon and other Lovecraftian entities reveal knowledge and grant supernatural blessings, while non-believers can be conquered, pillaged, sacrificed, or converted. The goal is to awaken Cthulhu.

Ghost Song

On the desolate moon of Lorian, a long-dormant Deadsuit awakens, armed and combat-ready. In an atmospheric 2D adventure of self-discovery, ancient mysteries and cosmic terror, the player heads beneath the surface to explore winding caverns lit only by bioluminescent flora and to battle strange creatures. New weapons and abilities unlock further strata of the moon as well as hidden areas. Rapid fire from the blaster builds barrel heat that empowers melee attacks; the player upgrades the suit and meets voiced characters who tell their own tales of survival and redemption.
