Horror Game Developer: My games aren't that scary!

[Horror Game Developer : My games really aren't that scary!] I hate horror.

So much so that I start puking whenever I reach a certain threshold. And yet, I am a Horror Game Developer. A crappy one at that. So, given my lack of ability, I decided to quit. And yet... [Congratulations, you've been selected for the Horror Game Developer System!] Nope, I don't want it. Let me quit. ※ Note : Your world might experience some changes. But don't worry!

Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind nicht so gruselig!

[Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind wirklich nicht so gruselig!] Ich hasse Horror. Von den huschenden Geräuschen von Schritten, die hinter mir herjagen, bis zu den leisen, aber beunruhigend kalten Flüstern, die sich um meine Ohren winden... All das. Ich hasse es. So sehr, dass ich anfange zu kotzen, wenn ich eine bestimmte Schwelle erreiche. Und trotzdem bin ich ein Horror-Spieleentwickler. Ein miserabler noch dazu. Also habe ich beschlossen, aufzuhören, angesichts meiner mangelnden Fähigkeiten. Und doch... [Glückwunsch, Sie wurden für das Horror-Spielentwicklungssystem ausgewählt!] Nein, ich will es nicht. Lass mich aufhören. ※ Hinweis: Ihre Welt könnte einige Veränderungen erfahren. Aber keine Sorge! Es ist Teil des Spiels! *** Dies ist eine Geschichte über einen Spieleentwickler, der Horror hasst, aber keine andere Wahl hat, als Spiele zu entwickeln, die gruselig genug sind, um Menschen zu traumatisieren. Sie wollen mich verfluchen, weil ich Sie dazu gebracht habe, sich in die Hose zu machen? Wenn das der Fall ist, wen verfluche ich dann? *** Eine von SCP inspirierte Geschichte mit ihrer eigenen Wendung!

The key elements often include the vastness of the cosmos which makes humans seem insignificant. There's also the presence of incomprehensible and powerful entities, like the Cthulhu in Lovecraft's works. Another element is the sense of impending doom, that something beyond our understanding is lurking and could destroy us at any time.

Well, 'The King in Yellow' by Robert W. Chambers has to be mentioned. It has a very eerie and otherworldly feel, especially with the play within the book that seems to have a corrupting influence. 'The Sinking City' (both the game and the original inspiration for it in terms of the cosmic horror elements) is also notable. It dives deep into a city filled with dark secrets and eldritch abominations. 'The Ballad of Black Tom' by Victor LaValle is another great work. It reimagines a Lovecraftian story from the perspective of a person of color, adding new layers to the traditional cosmic horror tropes.

Well, Jeff VanderMeer is a well - known name in best cosmic horror fiction. His 'Southern Reach' trilogy, starting with 'Annihilation', is highly regarded. He creates these strange, alien landscapes that are both beautiful and terrifying. Shirley Jackson also has elements of cosmic horror in some of her works, like 'The Haunting of Hill House'. While it's often seen as a traditional haunted house story, it also has undertones of something much larger and more unknowable at work. And then there's China Miéville. His books, such as 'Perdido Street Station', incorporate strange creatures and a sense of a world that is not quite as we know it, with elements of the cosmic horror lurking beneath the surface.

Cosmic horror typically has a strong element of the unknown that is beyond human understanding. It plays on the fear of the unknowable cosmos. Science fiction can be more about extrapolating from current scientific knowledge. Cosmic horror stories might involve things like Lovecraft's Cthulhu, which is a being so alien and powerful that it drives people mad just by its existence. Science fiction could be about colonizing Mars and the technological and social challenges that come with it.

Well, 'The Call of Cthulhu' is a very well - known one. It's got that great atmosphere of impending doom and the idea of these ancient, powerful beings. Then there's Algernon Blackwood's 'The Willows'. It's not as well - known as Lovecraft's works perhaps, but it's a great example of cosmic horror, with its sense of the unknown in nature. Also, Arthur Machen's 'The Great God Pan' has elements of cosmic horror, especially with the idea of the revelation of something so terrifying that it shatters the human mind.
