Game definitely got my attention, it seems to have the atmosphere... but pixel art graphics?
Well, I will probably wait till it´s finished and then I will see.

I wonder if this is already playable. If yes, how much of it and when is the final release planned. Not enough information to buy now for me. I remember when Foxtail (also InDev) has been advertized here on GOG the devs were here (they still are visiting the forums quite often) and answered every one of those questions. They also included some of them on the gamepage. Maybe I am just blind but I could not find answers to these questions on the gamecard of this game.

I've been wondering about making a game out of Howard's Sailor Costigan stories. They are not horror, but comedic boxing storirs and would be as such very well suited for a tongue in cheek action game.

Hm, mixed feelings... Good to see some ( potentially ) good Horror games, especially with a Lovecraft theme. On the other hand, the quality and style so far are a mixed bag, and the graphics in particular suffer from the usual style inconsistencies which are so common in modern Indie games. And as others already pointed out, their interpretation of Lovecraft's work is rather questionable. I'm not sure if the theme is well suited for a fast-paced Action game, unless they're simply using Lovecraft's creations as a replacement for zombies, nazis, aliens and the other usual suspects, while completely ignoring what sets Lovecraft's work apart from those common genre tropes.

I guess personally I'd rather see a more slow-paced, atmospheric game, with emphasis on puzzles, story, and some action/fighting on the side. Kind of like the first few hours of Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth ( bring that one back GOG, will ya? ). Will still keep an eye on this game and might try it when it's finished.

Agree with that. And with the rest of your post.
For now - wishlisted, but only to keep an eye on it. I hope you, guys, are going to play first and let me if it's worth to spend a few dollars and hours ;)

Yeah, that would be great! Howard has a similar problem to Lovecraft in that people adapting his work usually just stick to the basic surface elements - "muscley barbarian guy, hot chick, skimpy clothes, chop up stuff with swords, BOOM! DONE!" and most of the time they're mainly referencing the Arnold movies anyway. It's frustrating.

I'll be waiting.

Way too early to buy in just yet, but this looks VERY promising.

Thank you.
But why do we have to visit the Steam forum for a game GOG is advertizing. Why can't I find the inormation here where it was advertized?

not if i have to listen to that clomping foot sound byte the whole game

Shit like this makes me hate public domain. The absolute balls it must take to call your game "Lovecraft's Untold Stories". One day someone is going to create an official Lord of the Rings game full of Legolas x Aragorn gay romance plots and call it "Tolkien's Untold Stories" theres nothing we'll be able to do about it.

I am interested. I have read every tale Lovecraft has written since he was a child. I would have preferred an original IP. I'm in for a dark "pixelated" roguelike.

Well, I guess we'll be able to ignore it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I see your point -- Maybe the authors of such work shouldn't use the names of the original creators, especially when they interpret the original material in rather... creative ways. Still, I don't mind if we have to endure/ignore a few bad releases based on classics, if it means there's a chance we'll see some truly good ones.

If you’ve not yet played Darkest Dungeon through the end, well, you should ;)
(base game is enough, DLCs are mostly for people like me who still want even more after a full playthrough)

BEWARE, A SPOILER LIES BELOW!











Darkest Dungeon end is in the "all of the above" category ;)
