The game is filled with cool story details. Instead it creates a new one, though one that still plays off of the classics. Lovecraft’s Untold Stories doesn’t adapt any one of those previous tales however. And as mentioned, it’s also been the subject of plenty of video games over the years.

A roguelite with a just-delayed sequel, Lovecraft’s Untold Stories works many of the famed horror writer’s themes into an action setting.
