I’m convinced horror games are the best medium for horror. I love reading horror fiction and watching horror movies too. I just feel like when playing a good horror game, the player is “in the drivers seat”. I’m open to hearing other opinions though!
It’s not. Everyone saying it is hasn’t actually read cosmic horror, and don’t know what it actually is.
Which is something that can’t accurately be conveyed from one person to another, you just have to read it.
The nature of cosmic horror means that no visual representation can ever be accurate.
Though maybe you weren’t referring to Lovecraft when you said psychological horror?
I was thinking of some Stephen King story (It, to be specific, which I think is his most Lovecraftian work) but I agree with you 100%, the charm of Cthulhu is largely the vagueness of its description, any drawing you see out there is ridiculous compared to what the novels do
