In this gaming video essay, I explore how the idea of "disease" is used in Dishonored, and how the game relates to cosmic horror, a genre popularized by H.P. Lovecraft. For the observant player, the world of Dishonored will appear much more frightening and grim than the basic plot lets on, no matter what ending you get. Arkane Studios and Bethesda have managed to create something truly special here...
