Cosmic horror is a retarded theme choice for a video game.
only time it ever worked IMO was Marathon Infinity
never understood the appeal of self-hating defeatist wankery that paints humans as insignificant
Is this a judge kavanaugh comic?
That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.
Slow burn... bone chilling atmosphere... no jumpscares... fish people and tentacles... no, they don't make games like this anymore...
There's always a bigger fish, user. We see a being like Cthulhu like ants see us: as beings of incomprehensible power and scope, that could annihilate us and our entire world without trying, or even intending to do so. It's role reversal.
I'm okay with that because it treats those things more or less as forces of nature, the same way that everybody is on some level more or less aware that mankind is insignificant on a cosmic scale and completely fucked if by some twist of fate the sun decides to explode tomorrow. It's not that we're insignificant, it's more that they're more or less completely apathetic towards us and we don't really affect things for them one way or another.
What REALLY irks me is when you go into genres of speculative fiction that are basically a species-wide snuff torture movie, along the lines of "we got into a war with a very powerful alien species and by the way we never had any hope of winning because they were too goddamn powerful so they went and took us and messed with our genome and turned us into amorphous blobs of blesh that they now use to process waste in the recycling sectors of their cities and spaceships".
