Dear /v/,
With Darkest Dungeon, and Dark Souls, we've got at least two fantasy series where its tonally/thematically quite dark, without just being straight fantasy-horror.
DD and DS both have some cosmic-horror stuff sneaking in, weird "time" chronology, etc, some weird shit, but grounded in a normal faux medieval setting (knights, swords, bows, etc)
Is there a similar style of game, but SciFi, grounded in "hard scifi" but an taint of something weirder going on?
40K and Cyberpunk are probably a bit beyond that. 40K has gone full "silly", while Cyberpunk is so ingrained in its style there's not much space for anything else. I guess this rules out EYE as well.

Homeworld series ?

the problem with weird shit and technology is that you cant have both in a real scenario.
If the context is very technologically advance, the unknown must have already been researched, unlike in a medieval setting, where people are too dumb to understand things.
For it to be able to be something unknown in a technological scenario, it would require some alternate dimension shenanigans where the laws of physics change.

yea, I guess Homeworld is pretty on point.
Maybe Endless series as well.
I suppose I was looking for something a bit more RPG-y (like a not-shit Mass Effect)
