The difference between cosmic horror and crap sack is that crap sack is obviously bad to everyone around. In Cosmic Horror the terror lies just beyod the bonds of our reality. Now the two CAN overlap but Cthullu is not going ot prioritize destroying every standing structure in the world or killing off the rich to reduce inferstructure. The mediative and or transcendants are horrorfied by Cthullu, he is not making a neighnorhood any crapier. So unless you have something like Sin, where the giant eldrich horror that eats the souls of the deceased and farts them out as monsters is also going around doing property damage til no one can aford to set up a proper town there is a distinct difference. Cosmic Horror is, everything you know is consceptially wrong and your persception on reality is pointless. Distopian worlds are just crap. There is a big difference between finding out who the main character really is in Undertale, and roaming the wastes in Fallout.
