H.P. Lovecraft themed wads

[Sid Vacant]

I've been looking for some lovecraft-themed wads, does anyone know some?

[Catpho]

There's Maksim Xul, which sorta evokes this. This Doomworld megawad club thread also contain three wads with similar theme.

Also hi!

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.

Quake is lovecraftian. Dimension of the Boomed is Quake-like.

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

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.

Make sure to play it with a port that allows you to turn off blocking decorations. Even PRBoom+ does this so you have options.

It's just one map for now.  MAP02 (which takes place in Dunwich btw) is about halfway there.

[NightFright]

As stated above: Rylayeh. It can hardly get any more Lovecraftian than that.

One of my favorites! Need to replay this today.

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.

[Remilia Scarlet]

Shameless self-plug since the story in these was directly influenced by Lovecraftian themes:

 

 

And its prequel:

More Silent Hill than Lovecraft, but Unloved is a good horror mod.

I had a few ideas that were already mentioned.

Heh.

 

But yeah, I did my best to invoke that sort of theme in the maps. Could've used a few more eldritch abominations in retrospect. :P
