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…<\/p>\n

* The Innsmouth Case<\/em>. Hard boiled detectives in Innsmouth, interactive story-based and apparently with “comedy” elements. Cue the “Hmmm, something smells fishy here” jokes.<\/p>\n

* World of Horror<\/em> is a retro text Lovecraft adventure game with b&w manga-style pictures.<\/p>\n

* Moons of Madness<\/em>, Lovecraft in outer spaaacce! A big game delayed from 2019, but promised for 2020.<\/p>\n

* Dead Static Drive<\/em>. A Lovecraftian car-racing game.<\/p>\n

* Transient<\/em>, apparently Lovecraftian cyberpunk. Get ready to strap on your “cosmic radio” headsets.<\/p>\n

* It seems the acclaimed The Sinking City<\/em> 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also noted in the quick search were tabletop games, such as Fate of Cthulhu<\/em>, and it seems that the boardgame The Gate of R\u2019lyeh<\/em> (2019) is gaining ever-more positive reviews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
