The Cthulhu Mythos

(Extracted from "Love, death & robots")

A call for insanity...

The darkness of the night is calling you! Feeling a little tingling sensation behind your eyes? Do you feel him? In your soul, crawling about, feeding on your memories, your sorrows, your whole mind?! He calls to you. You should answer...

Hi everyone! Sorry for the creepy intro! We're talking about Lovecraft though so nothing is going to be joyful about this mod.

To put it simply, I'm recreating some of the iconic objects of the Cthulhu Mythos and sending them to the Constant. Why you might ask? Because I think that this game has, at times, proven itself to be quite Lovecraftian in it's imagery and it's environment. Chaos, loads of deaths and genuine horror elements are all present in the game a various occasions. But it's not truly "scary" per say... You might get scared of dying and loosing your loot but nothing will make you actually scream for your life or make you go: "Omg I almost ♥♥♥♥ my pants, I thought this was a survival game." Nothing really gets on that kind of scary in Don't Starve. But what if it did? What if you couldn't go around at night thinking a torch or a mining helmet will save you. What if even night vision wearing players were still at the mercy of the dark?

So I present to you my idea. Or my version of it. "The Cthulhu Mythos".

In this mod you will find a multitude of different artifacts from the mythos along with creatures straight out of your nightmares. (Or Lovecraft's nightmares more like)

Like I said, this is an idea, I just started modding DST this week and I am still working out the quirks of LUA scripting. But my progress has been steady since I started. Which prompted me to start this project.
