Giving faces to unwanted things like feelings of insignificance and dread is in itself interesting as it is one of the coping mechanisms that humanity used for thousands of years.
It's easier to create an imaginary monster that you can fight instead of accepting that you dont understand something
In this sense, you can say that the embodiment of every bad thing, every deity in the depths of the ocean is a candid version of reality
Interesting visual design. Lovecraft by way of Andy Warhol.
im so over lovecraft, on multiple levels. next!
"Lovecraftian" is the Dark Souls of horror buzzwords.
@Bomberman64 I agree, but here the publisher themselves quoted Lovecraft in their description. So it might be accurate this time!
