Defending shadow over inssmouth, specifically, is weird because that is the one where the scary part is supposed to be the main dude finding out he's the offspring of a monkey-princess from Africa. The most obvious, straight up not even subtle racist twist.
It is a good story... Up until the end and you're meant to be scared by "oh no my grandma was black!"
You’re thinking of Arthur Jermyn. Innsmouth is the fish people that the neighbouring town thought was simply a product of spending so much time fraternising with the Chinese.
Is Dark Corners of the Earth fucking with my memory of it...? The game starts off with being basically the story of Shadow Over Innsmouth but then includes a bunch of other stories all jumbled together to make something unique. 🤔
Black? The twist was he was a fishman.
