Dark Corners of the Earth is awesome. The newer one kinda sucks.
Also Carrion is not Lovecraft inspired… It’s inspired by John Carpenter’s The Thing. You essentially get to play as The Thing. But it is still hella good.
AFAIK, it is inspired by The Mountains of Madness, although the connection is very loose, mainly the setting and some elements of the early parts of the story.
EDIT: Turns out Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell was the bigger inspiration. That being said, I remember reading somewhere that The Mountains of Madness was inspiration (the same article also mentioned Who Goes There?, but that initially slipped from my memory).
If someone loving a bit of a challenge sees that, it’s not meant to be played at a top difficulty. Some places, especially the bridge passing 2 minutes before the final cutscene are completely broken - I went that far and still watched the ending on youtube, lol. Going into it on normal difficulty is the way to avoid unnecessary frustration.

I’ll be honest, I actually thought the movie The Thing was loosely based on The Mountains of Madness until I saw it was written by Carpenter.
In case you are curious, it was adapted from a story by John W Campbell.
I could see that. The monster is kinda like a shoggoth, but not broken.
