Two follow-up games, Destiny’s End and Beyond the Mountains of Madness, were planned but ultimately canceled. The game’s lack of a heads-up display and “Dynamic Sanity” system led to a highly immersive experience.

Other games followed in the Alone in the Dark series, but only this first one contained Lovecraftian elements. The elegant interface, cinematic points of view, melodious soundtrack, and spooky atmosphere broke new ground. This well-crafted game takes place in a Louisiana mansion beset with Lovecraftian horrors. (sorry, too much work to put the links in the post) The link there has links to all these games in the list, but here's the list itself. The Shoggoth is confirmed to be given by the Deep Ones to Robert Marsh, who then put the creature inside the Refinery, much to the displeasure of his brother Sebastian.I just found a list of Lovecraftian games at. One Shoggoth is encountered in the Innsmouth sewers, while the other (probably the same one) is encountered in the Marsh Refinery. There is at least one Shoggoth appearing in the game. There, they soon met the Deep Ones and many of their race entered into a pact with them (although the true nature of this alliance isn’t clear it is also possible that the Shoggoths were somehow enslaved by the Deep Ones). Very few Shoggoths were left alive, but some of them did manage to escape and hide in the deepest parts of the ocean. Rebellion was so great that the only way for the Elder Things to quell the uprising was to use atomic weapons. When the Elder Things were weakened after numerous wars they fought (mostly with the Polyps and Cthulhi), the Shoggoths attacked them. They “designed” the Shoggoths to be resilient, obedient and shape-shifting, so that they can serve as slaves to their Elder Thing masters.įor millions of years Shoggoths were used as slaves by the Elder Things (particularly used for building underwater cities). The Elder Things thought that the Shoggoths could never evolve to pose any real threat to them this was the wrong assumption however, as Shoggoths gradually evolved and started planning their rebellion. An extraterrestrial race known as the Elder Things is responsible for their creation. Unlike many other creatures in the game, Shoggoths didn’t originate from the Outer Space, but were rather created and evolved on Earth. It is extremely hostile and attacks Jack on sight. Shoggoth is a large, slimy, jellyfish creature that appears in the Innsmouth sewers and in the mission "The Marsh Refinery".
