The Playground

The Playground

In this dimension, people on the verge of death get one last chance to live in a place of torture and pain. Here, people are forced to play twisted versions of games from our world, and from others. Twisted versions of Seesaw, The Human Knot, Ring Around The Rosy, Tag, Hide And Seek, anything you can think of. All twisted and made something unrecognizable. Rumors on The Playground say once, a group of people had to play The Human Knot, and were fused into one biomass and were forced into tearing themselves out of the mass. They could push people in to get out, or pull people out and get pushed in. And if you cheat the game, alien entities defying logic and physics will come for you and put you back into the games, but harder. And there is no death here, only pain. If you loose the game, you just get made a part of the dimension and it’s games, but nobody really knows. And if you somehow manage to escape, there’s only a void of non-Euclidean structures and Lovecraftian Beings, with Eldritch Entities in the darkest corners. Death is no end, it’s only the beginning of eternal pain

I'm debating which character style to go with, what's your favorite for an Eldritch style creature?

More detailed explanation: We are building a Lovecraftian roguelike deckbuilder where you face off against various Eldritch style creatures. Each creature was once a normal animal that has been contaminated by a Lovecraftian disease.

With that information which is your favorite?

Would it be cosmic horror?

Genuinely curious because I've been thinking about it lately. Would these creatures fall under cosmic horror? They're warped by forces beyond comprehension and obey completely different laws to the natural

I would genuinely be grateful for a determination on if I fall into cosmic horror or just general

Thank you for reading!

Edit: for the downvotes, I would also love to hear why you say it isn't, genuinely curious on where that line is and who to cross it more firmly

Mythology of Eutodia: The Mother

Long before human civilization was known, Mother birthed the four primordial beings that roamed on Eutodia.

Elder resembled the cycle of life.
The Centipede, Babel and The World Serpent resembed the broken cycle.

The other three primordial beings ripped apart and brutally slaughtered Elder. They casted Elder's remains down into the Southern Region. But the remaining three did not just stop there.

The Centipede, Babel, and World Serpent unleashed their violence upon one another in another bloody war. But there was no victor. Heavily wounded, battered, and bleeding, the trio retreated to the North, crawling backward down into the abyss that they once came from.

AI Cosmic Horror

I heard a lot of AI hate at Necronomicon, as models take down more and more fields, everyone feels them coming for fiction: math, biology, etc. Which of course we hate. On the other hand these grotesque intelligences are nothing if not other, alien and uncaring… highly Lovecraftian from a certain angle… is there any AI oriented cosmic horror out there lately?

What is the statue in the dark?

A short piece I made.

Villager found the Blood Bread in the kitchen.
Then the tavern changed.
A statue with too many hands was waiting.
