Keeping in mind that all we’ve seen so far is alpha footage, I’m impressed with The Sinking City‘s potential. From what we’ve seen of The Sinking City in Frogwares’ alpha gameplay video at Gamescom, it’s an open–world filled with well developed NPCs and side quests for us to explore a strong fit for themes of discovery and consequences. So far, the Lovecraft mythos games we’ve played are all fairly linear stories that don’t feel like living breathing worlds.
Prior to that we’ve seen (at least) Lovecraftian elements in Bloodborne, Narcosis, Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics, and even a nod in South Park: Fractured But Whole. Board games are also seeing a lot of Cthulian themed games these days including the recently funded Machina Arcana second edition and expansion, a new printing of Deep Madness, and an upcoming expansion to Mansions of Madness. Lovecraft and his Deep Ones are on the rise and I couldn’t be more excited to see them take the main stage. Just last week we got the tabletop inspired Call of Cthulhu and we’ll see more in the upcoming Mansions of Madness digital adaptation. H.P Lovecraft is becoming ever more present in the world of gaming both in video games and tabletop.
