Not really. All the spooky stuff there is just bees, tentacles, or the sun but evil.
They kinda took all the fun out of the setting imo. Insofar as it does get weird it gets English degree weird not maths degree weird.
oh hey I really liked that scp
it's not generally a math hole kind of setting, but it does have some nice big rocks and stuff on fire
Yeah but its less "Math broke down so its on hyper-fire" than "What if a law hated you specifically and could shoot lasers"
i haven't played skies specifically but fallen london does have a couple good "sorry math machine broke, try again next tuesday" storylines
Those exist primarily as a way to do grinding. The "horror" isn't the scale or the numbers or the math in unless skies.
The "scary" thing about the sapphir'd king isnt the scale, the immensity or the sheer unfathomable nature of a star as a physical object. It's that he's god and he's a dick. The fact that something is as huge as a star and that this immensity breaks down reality as we know it doesn't really come into it, he's a god, he's a dick, all religions are a lie to slightly improve his dinner.
The closest they get to toying with actual cosmic horror is the spider senate
Gotta check this game out
The point of the spider senate is to ask the question "What if too many spiders". And you're thinking. "Oh man. A bunch of spiders" no. More spiders.
No. More.
spoiler
You're thinking something like "What if a planet of spiders right now, aren't you? Well. More. spiders.i interpreted the "math" and "math hole" bits as "physics/causality are wrong here," not like large scale or numbers, so i was thinking of stuff like the Apocrypha or that time Hell disappeared for a month
but now that i write it out like that i'm realizing that the Neath is quite literally a big hole where math goes weird
