"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..."

Cosmic Fear is a disturbing Lovecraftian horror experience from the author of The Land of Pain and The Alien Cube. Since the dawn of mankind, mysterious phenomena beyond human comprehension have occurred. Your studies suggest that everything is part of one, big picture. The solution is near; the next expedition will be the crucial one. You turn your gaze to the stars: what lies hidden in the unfathomable depths of the cosmos? Night falls as the horn's haunting call echoes through the woods. The Great Ceremony is about to begin. Live your worst nightmares in the darkness of the forests, explore ancient castles and seemingly abandoned villages to uncover the secrets that torment your soul.
