minus-squaremisericordiae@literature.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·edit-26 days agoWould add The Void for movies and Dredge (which is on sale) for games. ETA: In other media, The Lovecraft Investigations is a full cast audio drama re-imagining of several Lovecraft stories. Recommended!
minus-squareRose@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 days agoDREDGE is one of the greatest recent games that actually get Lovecraftian horror. You have the unnerving sense that, despite all of the minor assurances, the place you’re in is somehow wrong. And once you start fishin’, you see the major things are Down There. Maybe they have minions Up Here. And by the time you actually see some actual major real horrors, it’s already too late. (Me, I’m just happy the game added a Photographer who said, hey, you can always photograph turtles. Because I know in my heart turtles can’t be evil.)
minus-squaremr_account@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·7 days agoThe Void isn’t perfect, but I love it. They knew exactly where and how to allocate their low budget, and the practical effects are so fun
minus-squareitsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 days agoDredge was fun! I didn’t know it was based on Lovecraft going in but not long after I started I was like, wait a minute…
minus-squareValentine Angell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·7 days agoI hate to admit it, but I loved playing Dredge and all its DLC. It’s not normally my kind of game, but I’m glad I gave it a shot. It does have a Lovecraftian vibe. Perhaps that’s why I liked it.
