Dead space is a bit Lovecraftian. Come to think of it so is the Doom series as well.


Yeah, this is very not-Lovecraftian stuff.
The solution to most stories in the stories was just to move away, not shoot them with guns.


TC asked for Lovecraft themes which Dead Space and Doom definitely have.

Lets see
Cosmic horrors from beyond? check
Crazy cults? Check
Main character going insane? Check
Science gone wrong resulting in tenteclled monsters entering our reality? Check
Gothic architecture? Check
Talking to dead people? Check

Just because you can shoot the monsters doesn't change the fact that they're Lovecraftian themes involved. I mean you shoot monsters in Resident Evil but it's still a horror game.
