"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..."

The Horror at Highrook is the latest game funded by Outersloth, an indie game fund started by Among Us developer Innersloth. The game tells the story of an eccentric aristocrat obsessed with the occult, told from the perspective of a group of investigators dispatched after he disappears with his wife and son. As the game goes on, the group slowly uncovers the truth of what happened to the Ackeron family through timed card interactions, turning what at first looks like a normal mansion into a supernatural nightmare.
