Lovecraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's about the things we fear, amplified until they are unbearable. It's about stories that genuinely creep you out, not well-worn tropes and creatures you've seen hundreds of times before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it's about bleak horror, in which humans are powerless when confronted by hyperintelligent alien horrors.

You can only watch, run, hide and fear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you love Cthulhu games already, then this is Lovecraftian horror at its most intense.
