I think technically like illwinter's (dominions, conquest of elysium) entire lineup has that. Dominions just straight up lets you play as R'lyeh. Both series has several different varieties of ancient evil to play as.

The trick that worked pretty well for some folks around here was... to be friendly. Get them accustomed to humans, willing to be around people, places.

And then wait a short period for someone or another to kill and eat them

It's disturbingly effective, and also young deer horn fuzz is like the softest thing ever holy shit it is soft. They're adorable critters when they lack self-preservation habits, for the fairly short time that lack persists.

Dream brain saw fit to inflict me with a high fidelity hallucination of a snake falling down on my bed. Woke up with my heat beating fast enough I may have been close to a literal heart attack, and about five ten minutes later it is still notably accelerated

Wasn't till a bit after waking up in a goddamn panic and nearabout literally jumping through my bedroom door that I realized I could actually see the damn thing, something that wasn't exactly likely in my more or less pitch black room. Fucking shit hell, I needed sleep, not murder attempts.

One good thing about usually keeping the sound muted, that. I've seen the originating video for the shark thing, but I've never heard the audio

Only if you let yourself be. If you want to tell everyone you're the answer to the universal question, don't let silly things like physical reality or the passing of time stop you.

... alternatively, look on the bright side: Only a couple more decades before you're the nicest age (and probably too decrepit for it to be anything but an idle joke, ho ho ho)!

I might play it but something that's been bugging me about that type of game is that they always start you off as a level one dickhead fighting goblins.  I really, really hate goblins as a D&D enemy, like I think goblins are maybe the worst thing in the entire game, but that's particular and I won't get distracted by that tangent.  I just don't like the nature of the power curve in games like that.  I want to start off as a crack squad of Big Boys and get into the more interesting and complex gameplay that comes with more resources and deadlier enemies right away.  I'm sick of fighting chaff with guys that can barely do anything, it sucks and I hate it.

That mostly just makes me remember Incursion, ha. Easily one of the best D&D ruleset interpretations I've encountered in part becase basically that, right there. It started you off at level one, but it was a level one where even the least mechanically complicated class (warrior) would be doing shit, right out the gate.

No vancian crap hobbling the casters, pretty much everyone had pretty damn neat tricks they could pull off even on level 1, even first floor enemies had a fair amount of potential tricks... it wasn't party based (well, sorta'), but there's been precious few D&D inspired games I've encountered that had the start be anything but a kill-ten-rats slog. Incursion had you cavalry charging and wuxia jumping and wand blasting and minion chucking from the word go. Thing did so goddamn much right.
