Sid Vacant Posted May 6, 2018 I've been looking for some lovecraft-themed wads, does anyone know some? 2 Share this post Link to post
Catpho Posted May 6, 2018 There's Maksim Xul, which sorta evokes this. This Doomworld megawad club thread also contain three wads with similar theme. Also hi! 1 Share this post Link to post
Vorpal Posted May 6, 2018 I've played me a lot of doom and read me a lot of lovecraft, but I dunno what people are talking about when applying "lovecraftian" to a visual medium like a map or a game. Most of his stories take place in villages, farm houses, forests. There's two of his stories that take place in ancient underground structures, but crucial to these stories is the absolute absence of light, and navigation by the sense of touch. 1 Share this post Link to post
DoodGuy Posted May 6, 2018 Quake is lovecraftian. Dimension of the Boomed is Quake-like. 2 Share this post Link to post
Aquila Chrysaetos Posted May 6, 2018 There are a few that manage to be rather Lovecraftian. The Blood TC (as I remember) is somewhat Lovecraftian. As mentioned before, Maskim Xul is basically Lovecraft (Lite) IN DOOM. Happy Time Circus I and II are more Steven King, but maintain a similar eldritch nature about themselves all the same. Happy Time Circus I here: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/a-c/circus666 And Happy Time Circus II here: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/a-c/circus2 1 Share this post Link to post
Marcaek Posted May 6, 2018 https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/p-r/rylayeh Make sure to play it with a port that allows you to turn off blocking decorations. Even PRBoom+ does this so you have options. 1 Share this post Link to post
SuperArjunaButt Posted May 6, 2018 It's just one map for now. MAP02 (which takes place in Dunwich btw) is about halfway there. 0 Share this post Link to post
NightFright Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) As stated above: Rylayeh. It can hardly get any more Lovecraftian than that. Link: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/p-r/rylayeh 0 Share this post Link to post

rehelekretep Posted May 6, 2018 i really think some of @Ribbiks stuff is Lovecraftian in its 'unknown horror' themes. im sure he can recommend some stuff of his more precisely but Sunlust's later maps are very good for that feeling. 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted May 6, 2018 Shameless self-plug since the story in these was directly influenced by Lovecraftian themes: And its prequel: 1 Share this post Link to post
Aquila Chrysaetos Posted May 6, 2018 More Silent Hill than Lovecraft, but Unloved is a good horror mod. https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/s-u/unloved 1 Share this post Link to post
General Rainbow Bacon Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) I had a few ideas that were already mentioned. 0 Share this post Link to post
