Line 17:
* ''[[Cthulhu Tech]]'' and its history is pretty much made of this trope. Mankind just got out of a war, only to be invaded by the Migo. The Deep Ones decide to invade parts of the surface. HASTUR gets summoned and starts his own little genocide. Humans are being transformed by an evil corporation into monsters. The best part? This is the prologue.
* In the indie game ''[[My Life with Master]],'' a character that acquires too much Self Loathing through doing the work of the evil Master will unleash a "Horror Revealed," in which things get worse for the community at large. And if it gets too bad...well, that's when the [[Torches and Pitchforks]] start coming out...
* ''Pandemic: Reign of Cthulhu'', which uses the mechanics and rules from ''the [[w:Pandemic (board game)|''Pandemic]]'' board game]] for a cooperative [[Cthulhu Mythos]] game, is ''built'' around Things Getting Worse as a matter of course. While it's certainly possible to avert the endawakening of allthe Elder thingsGods, if luck goes against you ''during the game's setup phase'', the best you may be able to hope for is a fast death to all existence.
