One recurring bit that had me in stitches is the myriad options for your character to just be horny as hell. Your character’s inner monologue typically elicits a chuckle, which helps to carry a fun tone throughout the adventure, no matter the Eldritch monstrosities you encounter. There are jokes that fans will get, but plenty of other gags too. The humor lands often in The Innsmouth Case, too. I really respected seeing so many aspects of these cosmic horror stories I love. I was pleasantly surprised, however, that the story kept going for quite a while longer. As an example, my character swapped places with a Yith (look it up), and I thought with certainty that would be my “failed” ending. There are so many paths the story can take, and I was often surprised at how far these paths went. For those fans, prepare for a lot of excellent art of characters and creatures you yearn to see. This game seems made for the established fan, with a surprising amount of deep cuts into the lore. The developers over at RobotPumpkin Games clearly have a passion for the property. Right off the bat, I was struck by just how many references and easter eggs there are to the many stories set in Lovecraft’s world. What happens from there is entirely up to you. Playing as a modern day private eye, you’re hired to track down a missing girl. The Innsmouth Case is a choose-your-own-adventure visual novel set in the titular fictional town. Luckily, The Innsmouth Case is here to do that for me. I only say this to let you know how often I think about his fiction, and yet I’ve never once considered what humor would look like as a part of his world. I’ve read every story he’s written at least once, and consider him to be one of the finest writers in horror ever. Lovecraft is something I hold very near and dear to my heart.
