April 2025
It's a visual novel more than a game, but it has a lot of informative trivia about Lovecraft and Dagon. It's super passive, just sit, listen, and look around at the environment. I kinda wish more games were like this.

I really enjoyed this video-graphic, actual story-line, version of Dagon. It's one of my favourites, among others such as The Silver Key, Through The Gates Of The Silver Key, The Dreams In The Witch House, The Lurking Fear, and The Haunter Of The Dark. Especially with my being a writer. What I would really like to see is a first person survival cosmic horror, with elements from a series of Lovecraft's stories rolled into one theme, or maybe everything. An open world environment, or at least some sprawling levels, with scientific, alien weapons, alongside pistols, shotguns, rifle, machine gun, grenades, and Mythic-Icon weapons, curses, with protective amulets etc. With, also, the graphic quality in this scrolling video-tale, in a game much like I suggested above. And, oh yeah, a dynamic sanity system, and health applications. I think my favourite Lovecraft video game is perhaps, Call Of Cthulhu, because of the intense moments, and the sneaky action, including the cut scenes. Not forgetting the weapons, sutures, and insanity and the relentless pursuit from the Gilman Hotel. It's kinda claustrophobic in parts. Thanks for having this on offer - I hope Ukraine does well out of it.
