"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..."

Nightmare Green is definitely coming, but that’s been the plan for a while. And he’s been pretty up front that the god guys can’t possibly win. Which makes it harder to read, since were invested and want a good ending. Seems like it’ll be more like a Delta Green ending - push back the darkness as long as possible and celebrate the fight as long as you can.
