Production values are high, some interesting additions to the genre. Like Slay the Spire, but with Elder Gods

Trailer just dropped. cross-posted from the Lovecraft community: https://lemmy.world/post/6795290

Though not specific to the Cthulhu Mythos, The Lovecraft Investigations is highly recommended to any lovers of Lovecraft. It's a spoof true crime podcast set in the present day and the plots are based on classic Lovecraft stories.

As it's BBC, I'm guessing it may be geolocked, but for anyone who can access BBC Sounds the previous three seasons are available and a new one is about to start soon.^___^

Soedesco is adding to the horrors of Halloween on Switch as it's announced a 27th October release date for Superlumen's Lovecraftian point-and-click Desolatium.

Originally announced back in June 2023, Desolatium is a surreal, psychological graphic adventure where you'll come face-to-face with many of Lovecraft's iconic creatures — many of which "defy conventional description".

Desolatium has already been highly praised for its innovative structure and sound design, so don't go in expecting this to be your typical Lovecraftian horror experience

SHORT by The Lone Animator YT channel

LINK - Invidious

From the sonnet cycle "Fungi From Yuggoth."

XIV. Star-Winds

It is a certain hour of twilight glooms, Mostly in autumn, when the star-wind pours Down hilltop streets, deserted out-of-doors, But shewing early lamplight from snug rooms. The dead leaves rush in strange, fantastic twists, And chimney-smoke whirls round with alien grace, Heeding geometries of outer space, While Fomalhaut peers in through southward mists.

This is the hour when moonstruck poets know What fungi sprout in Yuggoth, and what scents And tints of flowers fill Nithon’s continents, Such as in no poor earthly garden blow. Yet for each dream these winds to us convey, A dozen more of ours they sweep away!
