!! The Inspiration of Amnesia !!

[kea]

Well, Lovecraft, yes of course. But I feel amnesia has a much more classical-gothic-horror side to it than the penumbra games.
Also, Alexandre has a very Vincent Price-sque voice :-). All the torture settings and grand-guignole bits look like an hommage to the horror films golden ages (hammer, bava etc.)
The penumbra games were much more "pure lovecraft", I think.
