There's also Yahtzee's "Trilby" series, "5 Days a Stranger", "7 Days a Skeptic", "Trilby's Notes", and "6 Days a Sacrifice". The last two have some obvious Lovecraft influences (the first two draw more directly on Friday the 13th), and are actually pretty solid horror-adventure games. Plus, they're free!

Azilut: One of the better ones is actually a text adventure called Anchorhead. Get it online here. Other ones I'm aware of: Prisoner of Ice (sequel to Shadow of the Comet) Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land The Lurking Horror (another text adventure) There are a lot more that I'm forgetting, but they'll probably come to me later.
The Lurking Horror is actually a good one.

LOL That name always reminds me of The Crawling Chaos, for some reason.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened.

I used to have a poster of Prisoner of Ice up in my bedroom.

It's a bit of a stretch to call this one Lovecraftian, but those who enjoy Lovecraft (in the "ancient forbidding secrets" sense, not the "BLARGH Squiddemon!" sense) will probably also enjoy Barrow Hill.

"Are you talking to me?"
"NO, my son is ALSO named BLARGH Squiddemon!"

It's by the team who made Dungeons of Dredmor, and it's an RTS. I have a feeling it'll be awesome. :D

Check out Anchorhead, the free text adventure game. You'll need something like WinFrotz to run it.

It's pretty awesome.

I believe the .z8 can be run with WinFrotz.
