But thats a short story.
It's not even actually based on that short story, it's more loosely based on Shadow over Innsmouth. It's got a lot of other references to lovecraft mythos too..
Speaking of which there is:

Innsmouth no Yakata

A FPS for the Virtual Boy which I have in my VB collection...although again its based on a movie based on the story.

There are at leas a couple dozen Bible-based games.

Are there any games based on other religions or religious texts?

Kinda short. Better than what little I've played from the NES/Famicom Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn games though.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.
