I’ve seen this same thread made like 5-6 times, same image and text and all

You don't think there's an audience for cosmic horror games?

Cosmic horror is boring if all they are is "invading aliens, but big". This is no more horrific than if a normal meteor exploded the Earth. Everyone is going to be dead too fast to really appreciate what's happening.

There's a lot of them. Only a few are decent to good.

Cosmic horror doesn't just mean horror from outer space.
Humanoid aliens invading would be analogous to one country invading another.
But the existence of giant lovecraftian space being basically confirms humans are not special and most versions of god are false.
It basically confirms we're bugs on the windshield of the universe to be predated on, rather than unlucky enough for a meteor to just so happen to bonk in to us

Underspace
Sunless Seas + Skies

This is really more of a comedy series than a horror series. It doesn't really have scares, just campy imagery and concepts accompanied by jokes about said concepts.

Moon-san just wanted to motorboat Earth-chan's fat titties.

I watched all of this and I'm pretty sure it's made for children. Like, 10 year olds.
Why do you guys like it so much?

>>723029785

Why should I be more scared of the latter when the results are effectively the same?

>>723028024 (OP)
Fuck off zoom

Is there any cosmic horror game that actually invokes the same feeling? I feel like the idea of visualizing something "incomprehensible" is impossible and ends up resulting in le hecking sanity meter that does nothing. Bloodborne might be the closest in theme and Eternal Darkness might be the closest in ideas, but that's all that comes to mind

>>723030017
Because they're trying to make it the new skibidi.

Earth is flat as fuck though. Everest is a hair on a billiard ball.

Outer Wilds, in terms of atmosphere.

>>723029406
In all of these you can overcome the cosmic horror monster/concept though.

>>723028724
Why did he do it?

The people that think this is horror are the same people that think "liminal spaces" are scary.
ie. Retards.

Please tell me nobody is falling for the aislop with bot viewcounts.

This is what cosmic horror is all about. The threat can be literally anything. It COULD be something like a meteor or force of nature or plain ol aliens, but whatever the threat it, it's coming from a place of indifference towards humanity and there's nothing anyone can do to really stop it.

It's hard to make video games like this because as a player you need to feel rearded for playing by getting good at the game and having the story comes to a satisfying conclusion. You can't really have that in cosmic horror where the point is to make you feel weak and hopeless as the universe does its thing.

>>723028024 (OP)
Cosmic horror kind of sucks because the scale of size where it would happen is too large for us to conceptually grasp.
Like damn Uranus is watching me jack off with an evil toothy grin, does it mean I don't have to work tomorrow? No? Then who cares?

If you meet God on the road, kill him.

So you're saying the Moon is muslim?

>>723028724
I think the concept of astrophobia and especially thalassophobia are pretty scary but all these videos trying to create that feeling fall short. They become funny at how bad they portray the fear.

>>723030093
Why should I be more scared of being tortured to death in a basement vs peacefully dying in my sleep if the results are effectively the same?

I've had dreams of impossibly huge things in the sky or elsewhere. Like creatures the size of Godzilla or King Ghidorah or some shit just sitting in the sky. Megalophobia is at its best when its from the perspective of something very small. No one is scared at pictures of the Earth, they're scared of standing on a satellite and looking at it from the perspective of a man. That's where most 'cosmic horror' falls short. The scariest part of Bloodborne was seeing fuckhuge Amygdalas everywhere but even they weren't big enough.

>>723028024 (OP)
Cosmic horror is cool, but 99% of cosmic horror stories just don't explain anything at all so there's nothing to them.

Why do they keep reproducing? life in india is literally not worth it, more indians existing is a loss for everyone including themselves

Banking that more hands to help get money outweighs the extra mouth to feed.

Because India still follows the standard of "We don't know how many of you are going to make it to adulthood so we are going to have as many as we can." then they also arrange marriages for a bunch of them so the cycle repeats.
