H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Does anyone have recommendations. I've really enjoyed Dredge and I'm not into first person in your face horror games because I dont feel like that's was makes horror great for me.

If you find any, let me know. Dredge was an 11/10 for me. So good.

Edit: was looking through and saw "strange horticulture". I've heard it's a similar vibe and pretty good.

Strange horticulture has a free demo. It was a pretty enjoyable combination of learning about plants and uncovering the sinister curse using a map.

Oh nice. I'm try it out. Thanks for letting me know.
