Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror

H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.
Rules:
- Please NO "Call of Cthulhu RPG" content (there are other great groups)
- PLEASE ONLY MYTHOS-INSPIRED CONTENTS
- Share stories, books, authors and any other works from the mythos
- Share reviews, analysis and theories on the lore
- Share videos, images and contents inspired by the lore
- Where possible share the link to the authors or the sources
- Ignore the call in your dreams as long as possible

I never see Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem on these Lovectaftian game lists, but it was so good! The controls kinda sucked from what I can recall, but I loved the fourth-wall-breaking antics that began occurring when your sanity meter dropped too far and brought into question the player's own sanity.
Yes! I think this is still one of my favorite games of all time. And it definitely has a Lovecraftian feel to it.
Eternal Darkness is still one of my favorites. Tank controls didn't age well, but (imo) doesn't distract from the unique experience this game offers. If you play on Dolphin I highly recommend the HD texture pack (https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-eternal-darkness-hd)
