Lovecraft built a terrifying mythos through his works that have inspired stories and art for nearly a century. Video games, being the most substantial form of modern expression, are not immune to the influence of Lovecraftian cosmic horror. The Cthulhu / Lovecraft mythos lends itself to many genres of gaming, whether mystery, action, horror, or even slice of life, and game developers have not been slacking when it comes to creating great games with atmospheres of cosmic horror and mystery.
