Hello people! What's your favorite Lovecraft-inspired game?

 Fri Jan 27 15:04:34 +0000 2012

I thought you'd be the 1 to go for something more classic. :) Love Amnesia, but HPL connection is too loose for me.

Great game. Frustrating as hell though. :) Do you prefer the floppy or the cd version?

 Fri Jan 27 16:21:54 +0000 2012

I always thought that using real actor likenesses for character close ups was a great feature. Interesting cast as well.
