A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it's many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.

"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

"I’m always on the hunt for a promising new Metroidvania. And although Voidwrought doesn’t explicitly call itself one, I see the telltale signs. Developed by PowerSnake with publishing duties by Kwalee, it’s a stunning adventure full of Cosmic Horror. Best of all, it’s slated to release on PC and Nintendo Switch on October 24th! Or if you’re impatient, there’s a demo available now on Steam, and one headed to the eShop soon!

Here’s some reasons to get hyped now for Voidwrought:

The coming of the Red Star heralds a new age. Emerging from its cocoon, the Simulacrum is driven to collect Ichor, the blood of the gods, from the monstrosities who hoard it.

Voidwrought is a fast-paced action-platformer with tight traversal, varied abilities, and formidable boss battles. Find and equip powerful Relics and Souls to customize your playstyle. Excavate into the rubble of the Gray City to construct a shrine filled with loyal followers.

Features

  • Experience smooth, satisfying movement and tight controls.
  • Explore atmospheric, hand-drawn biomes, from the star-scorched Surface to the biomechanical Abandoned Expedition.
  • Fight over 70 enemies and 10 formidable bosses.
  • Customize your playstyle with over 30 active Relics and passive Souls.
  • Expand your shrine to discover new treasures, abilities, and secrets.
  • Enjoy a rich, foreboding score by Anima: Song of the Abyss and Vigil: The Longest Night composer Jouni Valjakka."
