I'm a huge fan of Lovecraft (Not just Cthulhu), and I would like to see a game like this add in his aliens and/or Elder ones. I know the whole Cthulhu craze the gaming industry has used such as Mass Effect and Evolve recently. But hear me out these were only nods to the vast resources that Lovecraft left behind, The mountains of madness with its starfish-like aliens or Dagon with his fishmen who infect humans and turn them into them slowly. Its not just about Cthulhu there are a slew of gods and monsters. I'm sure to get thousands of hate from those who don't even know the mythos but I don't care, Lovecraft was a genius. If you like the idea post some suggestions, Lovecraft had hundreds afraid of the depths for years and for good reason, the man could paint a picture.

My suggestions:
Kraken-Who doesn't love the idea of the legendary squid-like creature capable of bringing whole ships down.
R'lyeh-A biome where Cthulhu sleeps or Dagon with his "Deep Ones" (Fish/Frog men).
Atlantis-like Ruins-Not Lovecraft but who knows that Atlantians weren't actually space explorers, legend says it was a highly advanced race. Perhaps they even ran from this planet to escape Cthulhu who then also traveled to Earth in search of them.
Old Rune stone tablets depicting the Elder Ones and those who worshipped them.

If anyone likes my post Ill come back and suggest more, I have a load of ideas but I just want to know if I'm just wasting my time.

All praise the might of Cthulhu!
