Was rereading Lovecraft's complete works the other night, and am astonished I'd never caught this before (and now feel inestimably stupid).
"Get the hell out of here ya mug" 😂
Yeah, #TheSinkingCity features stuff straight out of Better Homes & Gardens alright...
(*WARNING* -- minor spoilers for those who haven't played through the restaurant yet...)
This is...not an achievement I'd EVER expected to get from a game...
*Really* kinda starting to feel like I'm not the hero of this story...which I'm sure is the point...
I know I'm waaay behind the curve on games, but still...
I think part of what makes this game so damned creepy is because the shells of the once-human walk around saying stuff they said before they died. Sometimes, their last terrified words; sometimes, just...mundane stuff they said while alive.
It's like that Dr. Who episode with the dead people's suits walking around & saying stuff like, "Hey! Who turned off the lights?" -- just, times a thousand.
Me: "Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. I have a Raging, Lovecraftian Nerd-on to play The Sinking City. Also, my nerd-on is squamous *and* rugose."
Father: *sighs* "I told you the last time if you came back to this church we'd call the police. You're not even Catholic. Please leave."
HOLY NATRIUM @mynameismok just alerted me to the upcoming game The Sinking City and as a rabid HPL fan, this looks like a must-have...just WATCH the trailer (!).
I mean...the angles...the angles are ALL WRONG...
