How about a resource management/mission-based game like Warcraft or
Starcraft? You could control the forces of the Mythos, trying to gather
power and minions to overrun the world. Or you could choose to control
humanity, trying to save the world from the forces of the Mythos.
Granted, it's a bit Lumley-ish (Wilmarth Foundation) and it might be
difficult to ensure that the human units weren't completely overpowered,
but I've always been found of Blizzard's games.
