The "Lovecraftian" tag on Steam seems to be something unique in the venn diagram of games and authors. This article explores why this might be the case.

I believe that Tolkien basically created the typical fantasy races (elf/dwarf/orc/hobbit), so I'd say we could be calling such games tolkienian by analogy -- I think it is likely that there is more of them than lovecraftian ones. "Kafkaesque" is a word, but it is somehow less relevant to games.
