Angels and clowns are now brown note beings
They go insane because they shit their pants?

In lovecraftian horror (considering that Armok completely destroys realities and any consciousness, even afterlife ones) sapient beings can stumble across aliens who are so strange in look due to bizzare violations of reality as we know that their sanity gets completely twisted. Same aliens or whatever know the reality around them better than humans do or other sapients like us in general.

Let's assume you would swap a body with a dog. You would still have memories of your life as a human but your dog brain cannot comprehend abstracts which humans can do and so you are going to remain insane because you cannot understand your own memories. Your new brain would not have a slot for them. This is something 230 IQ cannot overcome, not even 9999 of it.

Lovecraftian horror beasts are so bizzare that merely looking at them causes sanity slippage regardless of your willpower. Your mind is just inferior to them. They know things about physics which humans cannot grasp no matter how they would try to explain them to us mortals. Since their bodies are composed of those physical rules... well.

My suggestion is terrible because it would feel like a lovecraftian horror formula rip-off one more step and clowns would be too powerful, encouraging cheese mechanics even more and giving no chance to "blind playthrough" players.

I think Zultan was just being overly literal as a joke. Most speculative fiction fans are familiar with the tropes of Lovecraftian horror. :P

No, its a fourth state of being, not alive, not dead, and not undead. unundead is a state of being where a living soul bound to the mortal world is trapped in the realm of the dead, creating an unzombie or antispectre in the afterlife. These will torture the souls of the deceased, turning heaven into hell with earthly suffering and wants. They themselves will experience great anguish from experiencing the horrors of hellish realms before their time, and once banished will return to the mortal world forever changed.

I was actually making a reference to the brown note thing from South Park, but yeah I was making a joke and knew about the Lovecraft stuff.

At some random point the game will ask the player Lovecraft related questions. If the answers are wrong, the game will end and give you lengthy detailed explanations about the Cthulhu Mythos, Lovecraftian horror and such.

Make Wayne June narrate fortress mode. There may not be enough budget for adventure mode anyway.

The game will pause at random points to provide lengthy explanations regarding all of its content.

"A fortress is a well-defended stronghold, usually used in a military context. Dwarves, meanwhile, are a mythical people originating in the stories of the ancient Norse. In the centuries since, they have become a staple of modern fantasy literature. Their typical portrayal is of short, stocky subterranean miners with prominent facial hair (sometimes in both genders) and a fondness for hard drink."

Everything in the fort has a sound associated with it and these sounds play every time the item is interacted with, these interactions include being carried, being worn, waking on, and many more!

A terrible *squick* sound must be added for vermin corpses stuck in doors, every time a dwarf tries to close the door behind them. You know theres a dead butterfly in one of your doors, but have no idea where!

Similar awful *squick* sounds accompany all couplings between your dwarves.
