I finished The Eternal Cylinder today so I doodled some of my lil freaks.

I think every Speculative Biology-adjacent game needs at least one unnatural/artificial-looking creature that sometimes (but not always) has a different aesthetic to everything else in the game and exists solely makes the player's life hell, e.g the Wraiths from Pikmin, the Warpers from Subnautica, the Servants from The Eternal Cylinder, the Grox from Spore (and, to a lesser extent, the Dronox and Insectrox from Galactic Adventures).

Screw horror games, play the eternal cylinder if you want to have nightmares.

It's the most terrifying game I've ever played, subnautica being a close second.

For some reason games that are meant to be horror are never as scary as these two.

eternal cylinder rocks for so many reasons, but a big one is the full on committal to the fact that yes, the main villain of this game is literally just a large cylinder.

all it can do is roll forwards, and it’s an existential threat to your entire world.

What is your favourite alien design? And why is it your favourite? Also I hope you have a great day :)

I'm guessing we're talking appearance, so I'd say the Angstok from The Eternal Cylinder game. From far away it just looks like it's dead. The only part of it you can see is a tangled mess of bone-like, segmented tubes sprouted from the sand, so you just assume it's a weird plant or something (I did), but when you come close enough to it, it rapidly extends in your direction and it snatches you. It creeps the crap out of me, but it's really cool!

If there's a nicknaming system I'm gonna be giving everyone goofy names like Sclunch and Oughaah and Carpet and such EXCEPT for Gunu. Gunu is Gunu forever I must pay respects to the legend

[nomgeonmunchie]

Would they eat the Tonglegrop from "The Eternal Cylinder"?

Not letting myself play this game until school stuff subsides but GOD I can't wait. What absolute creatures these guys are

I saw my roommate play some of game The Eternal Cylinder and I can’t stop thinking about it. I think about it least a few times a week if not more.

It’s so fucked up bc the protagonist and his buddies they are just little guys

and a giant unimaginably long and humongous shape is destroying everything on their planet with no way to stop it!!!

So I’m buying it myself bc I gotta see if they find a way to stop it or a way to escape or something…I gotta help them…they are little guys…

I think one reason I feel so distraught over these guys is bc it’s actually not too far off from nightmares I had a lot as a kid even a bit into adulthood-> a giant thing is after me and all I can do is run. I’m too small and it’s too large/fast/deadly.

Also bc the existential empathetic dread I feel from the idea of being destroyed by a giant apathetic shape is incredibly acute.
