The way this was written was... really weird. It didn't actually describe the Filth very well.


* The Filth. Not the material itself, but what it does to the contaminated. How they scream and cry for you, stop stop they can't stop, please stop stop me? Or that underneath, in areas and lands where the world and reality itself has been blasted away by the stuff, underneath it all, [[ArcWords we are made of stars]]?

* The Filth. Not the material itself, but what it does to the contaminated. How they scream and cry for you, stop stop they can't stop, please stop stop me? Or An oily black substance that underneath, in areas causes black tentacles and lands where tumours to appear whenever it appears in sufficient quantities, and turns those it infects into homicidial maniacs who are [[AndIMustScream still lucid enough]] to rave and ramble with their original personality. [[spoiler: The Filth is actually the world influence of [[EldritchAbomination the Dreamers]] leaking into our reality. If the Filth is concentrated enough it can actually cause the Dreaming Prison to spill over into our world, as seen in Tokyo and reality itself has been blasted away by the stuff, underneath it all, [[ArcWords we are made of stars]]?other places.]]

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* The British Museum of the Occult. On the face of things, this place shouldn't be all that frightening, given that it's located on neutral ground in London and serves mainly as a source of new collectibles and achievements. In practice, however, the Museum quickly starts getting unnerving, even before you notice the unnecessarily creepy soundtrack: the building is almost completely deserted apart from the curator and the vendors... but you won't be alone for long, because the curator ''will constantly follow you around the museum,'' either strolling after you on foot, or literally teleporting into the wing you're exploring - leading to an accidental JumpScare if you turn around too quickly. Once you've opened a wing on the museum, he will stand in the corner, and ''stare at you'' while you go about upgrading the place. For good measure, he has only two lines, a curiously distorted mutter of "hullo" and "cheerio," swiftly grounding him right in the middle of the UncannyValley. What's this guy's story? Who or what is he? Why can't he say anything else? ''' ''[[NothingIsScarier It's never explained]].''' ''

* The main storyline of Issue #11 features a few doozies of its own: along with Samuel Chandra's genuinely chilling threats and [[spoiler: Lilith's]] utter lack of remorse for mutilating you, there's also the bone-chilling sight of the Filth pouring out of a phone and pooling on the ground to form Shades, with dozens more crawling up the side of the tower towards you - all while John furiously chants [[AC: "Let me in. Let me in. Let me in. LET ME IN."]]

*** Worse than that, [[spoiler: it doesn't just look like the device from the train, a note on the floor of an adjacent room reveals that it is the same one, taken from Venice by the Phoenicians under Orochi orders. Whoever made the order is either apocalyptically TooDumbToLive, or looking to finish what the Morninglight started]]

** QBL Alpha is also tame in what happens. Nothing that the Player and Player Character haven't experienced a lot of before. No. The main nightmare fuel is the flashes of video on the projector that has killed everyone and turned them into wrathful ghost. [[spoiler: It's a still from the Cursed Video tape from TheRing. Which means that Orochi not only tracked down the tape but recorded it to their archives.]]

* Dark Agartha, the BadFuture you can explore in ''Legends'' as of Update 2.3.
** First, it comes with a trail of agent missions added in the weeks leading up to the update, in which you discover a 16th century Spanish conquistador exploring the pathways of Agartha. Upon contacting him, you find that the man, Jerónimo de Montejo, was granted the ability to venture into Agartha, immunity to all disease, and the ability to speak any language he encountered by an artifact he discovered in a Central American temple, and your secret society recruits him to help explore Agartha, including its TimeTravel capabilities. After several visits back to the past, your society decides that the time is right to explore the future... and when Jerónimo returns, [[spoiler:he brings back strange fungal samples and refuses to say a word of what he saw. Only later, after significant prodding, does he refer to it as "Dark Agartha", giving warnings of "all is eating, all is eaten!".]]
** Naturally, you decide to explore this place that he warned about... and the ''real'' horror begins. [[spoiler:The Dreaming Ones have awakened and devoured the world, and now cross the universe, eating stars. Agartha is dead, with Fungal Filth now flourishing all over its ruins, the only form of life that still exists save for a few beasts sucked through the gashes in reality that the Dreamers left behind. The Gatekeeper is still around, having survived the apocalypse by jumping through time, but thanks to the damage it suffered, its corrupted programming compels it to feed any anima it can get its hands on -- including from you -- to Gaia, not realizing that it's trying to feed a rotting corpse. And the Lore for the level? An ''all-out ApocalypticLog'' as the last of the Bees are ''eaten'' by the Dreamers, the opening quote being [[Film/{{Alien}} "last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off."]] The kicker comes when you look up and see that the HollowEarth's surface now has a massive gaping hole in it, giving you a great view of the black sky above.]] The only consolation is that a) the Bees are quick to point out that this is just one possible future, and b) that [[RayOfHopeEnding Gaia was not the only Immaculate Machine]], and that they deliberately withheld what comes after this.
