I think an RPG-type game would work quite well. Though it'd be difficlut to
resist the urge to translate all the mythos' weird creatures into the game
for you to battle at the offset. Trying to keep the game as 'normal' as
possible - but still have the abitity to chill.

Of course the extensive plot and character develpoment will all go to make
the ending even more harrowing when the player completes the game - only to
be annihilated by some unforseen terror in a poignant reminder of the
futility of man.

Oh I've spoilt the ending - what a shame. Seriously thought I think there is
alot of room for develpment in the horror-'em-up video games genre.
