''VideoGame/CthulhuSavesTheWorld'': A {{JRPG}} where Big C himself is the playable protagonist!
* ''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}''''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}'': A series by Creator/{{Nitroplus}} with HumongousMecha and mythos elements, it began as an VisualNovel {{eroge}} for the PC, then was ported to the Sony UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 as a [[BleachedUnderpants non-eroge remake]].
* ''VideoGame/{{DUSK}}'': There are references to the mythos as FreezeFrameBonus around the game, which double as {{Foreshadowing}}. [[spoiler: The ManBehindTheMan is revealed being Nyarlathotep who serves as the FinalBoss. The guy is also voiced by the same dude who did Caleb from ''VideoGame/{{Blood}}'']].



* ''VideoGame/MagicianLord'': The bosses and enemies are named/based after creatures and characters in the mythos. Though it isn't apparent seeing as the English localization butchered the translation-- e.g. the first boss "Dagon" got renamed into a "Cyclopean Fire Breather". Granted some inspirations are obvious, like the penultimate boss resembling Nyarlathotep and the final boss ([[DestroyerDeity the God of Destruction]]) being called "Az Atorse" which is a dead ringer for Azathoth.



* ''VideoGame/MystikBelle'': The last boss is [[spoiler: Cthulhu himself]]. And you [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu literally get to punch him out]].



* ''VideoGame/{{Smite}}'' is a CrossoverCosmology MOBA game between different real world myth pantheons and has "Abyss"-themed skins, with the Mayan bee god Ah Muzen Cab getting one called "Dark Whisperer" based after Cthulhu himself. However, in 2020 the Great Old Ones pantheon was added with Cthulhu under the Guardian role being the first playable Eldritch god.

* MagicIsEvil: There are plenty of evil (and insane) sorcerers. However, there are also examples of good people using "magic" to stop the bad guys. Literature/TitusCrow is one example, and Lovecraft's [[Literature/TheDunwichHorror Professor Armitage]] is another. It's hinted that the magic may not be evil outright, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation just extremely dangerous to us ignorant humans]]. It's this interpretation that the ''TabletopGame/CallOfCthulhu'' RPG takes, where using spells will sap Sanity.
