That game has some crazy chases. The shoggoth comes to mind. I'm surprised there aren't more games that are rooted in Lovecraft's work. His stories create the perfect combination of fear and dread.Matthew Valkanov said:The inability to fight back.

SPOILER ALERT(by the way, how do you create those nifty little spoiler boxes? I'm a forum luddite):
There's this bit in Call of Cthulhu : Dark Corners of the Earth where you're in a hotel. Everything up to this point has been screaming DON'T stay the night there. Don't even stay in the town. You even find the remains of a previous lodger, and have a psychic vision of the hotel manager killing this person. Of course, you decide to stay the night(who wouldn't, right? -_-'), at which point your psychicness tells you that people are coming to your room to get you. You then have to quickly bolt doors, run, and move obstacles as you are pursued by these madmen. First time I tried I fell to my death jumping out a window. I immediately Alt-F4ed, put my laptop down, swore, and had a drink.
