[ID: two screenshots from the game Fallen London. Both show an option called "Endure", greyed out and unavailable. The caption beside the Dangerous quality simply says "No" where a required skill level should be. In the second screenshot, the caption beside the Wounds quality says "Not even you."]

Hands down my favourite little detail of this event so far. In a game like Fallen London, where the player is so continuously referred to as important or skilled to the exclusion of nearly every common challenge, the uniform unavoidability of a giant falling wall of rock is...so nicely chilling. No. Not even you.

#voidrambles #fallen london #it reads as halfway between apologetic and mocking to me #it's definitely a bias of mine thematically but i love it in media where everyone is just reduced to the same level of like #creatures. living things with a limited reach to hold off the inevitable. just as prone to instinct and panic as they are to anything else #horror does it really well #it works really well in a game like this i think
