• Defending shadow over inssmouth, specifically, is weird because that is the one where the scary part is supposed to be the main dude finding out he’s the offspring of a monkey-princess from Africa. The most obvious, straight up not even subtle racist twist.

    It is a good story… Up until the end and you’re meant to be scared by “oh no my grandma was black!”

      • Is Dark Corners of the Earth fucking with my memory of it…? The game starts off with being basically the story of Shadow Over Innsmouth but then includes a bunch of other stories all jumbled together to make something unique. 🤔
