Chronicle of Innsmouth techdemo 1.1 Sep 24 2015 Demo. Chronicle of Innsmouth was born by combining the stories of master-of-horror, H.P. Lovecraft, and the style of Lucas’ graphic adventures in the 90s.
Shadow Over InnsmouthGet This Product:Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: The Shadow Over Innsmouth brings Lovecraft's tale to life as it might have been adapted for radio in the 1930s. In the style of The War of the Worlds, The Shadow and the HPLHS' At the Mountains of Madness, The Dunwich Horror, and The Shadow Out of Time, Dark Adventure Radio Theatre dramatizes HPL's story with a huge cast of professional actors, exciting sound effects and thrilling original music by Troy Sterling Nies (composer for The Call of Cthulhu). Discover what fate has in store for you as you delve into this cherished tale of ichthyic horrors.
So, we didn't get a Bloodborne in 2017. We didn't even get an unfairly overlooked indie gem like The Last Door. But, as has been happening for the last few years, the fringes of the medium were quietly being invaded by elder gods, tentacled horrors and beings of barely pronounceable, near vowel-less names.Whether as a passing reference (Howard Phillips himself bickering with Edgar Allan Poe in The Darkside Detective), an overarching tone (the doomed trajectories forming the narrative backbone of ) or simply a handy tag to apply whenever there's an isolated, degenerate cult to be running away from (like the one ruining your life in Outlast 2), Lovecraft's influence in games is growing by the year. What follows is a brief look at some of the more interesting recent efforts directly inspired by the horror master's works.ConariumEverybody knows that “set in an Antarctic base” is really code for “inspired by At the Mountains of Madness”. In case, however, you were still uncertain, Conarium, Zoetrope Interactive's latest first-person adventure, hands you a copy of Lovecraft's novella as an early collectible to dispel any persistent doubts. Waking up inside the blacked-out Upuaut research station, you find yourself alone, the rest of the scientific personnel studying the perception-enhancing effects of a mysterious plant, inexplicably gone.Walking its eerily silent corridors and braving the gales in the frozen wasteland outside, you slowly unravel the story of a violent snow storm and a communications breakdown, of terrible discoveries, alien civilisations, and expanding mental health issues among crew members. The visuals are attractive, the audio design is excellent, and the game admirably serves its horrors with reserve, patiently building a mood of slowly-realised dread rather than smothering you with jump scares.
I was really stoked to see where the plot would take me next.Which made it all the more frustrating when a game-breaking bug left me unable to progress – a rather ironic development considering Conarium is clearly the most polished title on this list. In a sequence paying homage to John Carpenter's 1982 classic The Thing, I waited and waited for a transformation that wouldn't come to pass. I exited and reloaded several times, and it still wouldn't come to pass. I carefully replicated every step from a YouTube playthrough; I got nothing. Nevertheless, by all accounts the bug seems extremely rare (managed to find only a single mention in the Steam discussions — hi pyrolocutus! Download game yugioh offline. — where, despite the developer's suggestions, the issue seemed to persist) and it shouldn't necessarily discourage you from checking Conarium out.How is it Lovecraftian?
It's set in an Antarctic base. Wink.What about the game? It certainly looks scary and that's what you're here for, innit? But I can't vouch for the rest of the game after the first couple of hours.GloomNone of the games on this list are exactly AAA juggernauts taking the industry by storm. Nobody is upgrading to a 4K-capable setup to word-stab a blind septuagenarian cultist in The Shrouded Isle. But if there's one among them that, at first glance, looks like the result of an aspiring bedroom coder's early dabblings in GameMaker Pro, that title is Gloom by Aleksi Sirvio.Yet, for some reason, it was the one I kept coming back to, always making time for a quick run or two between the longer engagements.
Was it the Souls-lite mechanics, simple but pleasingly precise, focusing on defence and stamina management lest you were left stumbling when you should be rolling to dodge? Was it the unoriginal but infectiously enthusiastic narrative garnered through item descriptions, snippets of conversation, and boss encounters, each fragment melding into a commendably consistent fever-dream world in lo-res black and white? Or is it something more humble like its simple structure and sensibly condensed playing time?There is an instant familiarity and no-fuss flow about Gloom that elevate the experience of an otherwise fairly rudimentary piece of software. Travel from left to right across its three stages, kill everything (including the shopkeepers, if you're so inclined – and able), get upgrades, progress as far as your current skill level will allow, repeat.
At 10-15 minutes per run, the game never overstays its welcome and, like the series that inspired it, rewards you with the satisfaction inherent in dancing around attacks that have previously destroyed you, once enemy patterns are identified and memorised. Alternative boss fights, secret levels, and the curiosity to fill in every journal page provide additional reasons to return to the Dream's world of tentacled statues, rambling vagrants and curious hierarchies.How is it Lovecraftian?

Like Bloodborne is Lovecraftian, only uglier.What about the game? Surprisingly enjoyable.Chronicle of InnsmouthArguably the most traditional concept on this list, Chronicle of Innsmouth is a typical point 'n' click adventure featuring the usual hallmarks of the genre: colourful personalities, inventory-based puzzles, and sarcasm-infused descriptions of flowerpots and cupboards. Closely following the plot of one of the writer's most influential stories, The Shadow over Innsmouth, the game even borrows some of the latter's characters and locations.
