A very quick glance at the titles for the usual annual tidal-wave of Lovecraftian videogames, these being those set for the first half of 2020…
* The Innsmouth Case. Hard boiled detectives in Innsmouth, interactive story-based and apparently with “comedy” elements. Cue the “Hmmm, something smells fishy here” jokes.
* World of Horror is a retro text Lovecraft adventure game with b&w manga-style pictures.
* Moons of Madness, Lovecraft in outer spaaacce! A big game delayed from 2019, but promised for 2020.
* Dead Static Drive. A Lovecraftian car-racing game.
* Transient, apparently Lovecraftian cyberpunk. Get ready to strap on your “cosmic radio” headsets.
* It seems the acclaimed The Sinking City is also getting some return-luv as new PC players get past the hate-reviews to find it, and as previous players revisit it with the new gaming PC / graphics-card they got in the January sales. There are also new items for the game such as the long-awaited October 2019 PC patch, free DLC character outfits, and the November 2019 noir reshade mod.
I probably missed a few, but in the absence of a blog-a-list of such things from a hardcore gamer who knows the territory, this’ll have to do.
Also noted in the quick search were tabletop games, such as Fate of Cthulhu, and it seems that the boardgame The Gate of R’lyeh (2019) is gaining ever-more positive reviews.
