A real Bible translator suggested 'Elohim' was mistranslated, that it means many gods, not one. I built a horror game around what one of them left behind

The premise comes from a genuine fringe theory: that the Hebrew "Elohim" (used throughout Genesis) is grammatically plural, and some translators have argued it was deliberately rendered as a singular "God." In Vino Veritas runs with that. The Elohim were many: ancient, warlike, inhuman. After a war they left our world and vowed to return, but one renegade stayed, hiding in a desecrated cathedral, shaping a prophecy.

You play someone searching for a wife who vanished investigating that cathedral. To find the truth you drink wine made from the blood of the renegade Elohim. It's psychological horror. exploration, environmental puzzles, dread over gore.

From the Makers of the Necronomicon “Kid’s Coloring Edition"

Hey all, Jim here. Had some free time in the car rides on the way up to Chicago and back this past weekend for the film fest up there. I got bored and started photoshopping a trumpet toy I saw in a store. Enjoy.

Just finished reading The King in Yellow

Around 10 minutes ago, I finished the first 4 tales from The King in Yellow by Chambers. I really liked them, specially The Yellow Sign and The Mask. But I'm a little underwhelmed, don't get me wrong, I'm not disappointed, but I feel like I know nothing about Carcosa, Cassilda, the mystery of Hades, and the King in Yellow, all we get from the Chambers tales are just glimpses of the cursed tale.

And I get that this is intended, cause telling you the whole tale would ruin the horror of the cursed book that everyone who reads it gets mad crazy and have a dark urge to kill (bg3) but I can't help myself to feel ok with it, I wanted more about the tale and the King.

It's like, the book gives us this entry to the tale:

"Let the red dawn surmise

What we shall do,

When this blue starlight dies

And all is through"

And then tells us absolutely nothing about what they did. I know that one of the pillars of cosmic horror is "don't tell everything about the entity cause it will stop being scary" and I haven't read a lot of cosmic horror, I have only read The Call of Cthulhu and The Thing on the Doorstep, but The King in Yellow is the first cosmic horror book that makes me feel like I know absolutely nothing after finishing the book.
