H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

The Fallout franchise has long maintained a Lovecraftian subplot, which I often call "The Dunwich Mystery". Last week, Fallout 76 expanded upon these Eldritch themes with the "Gone Fission" update, which primairly emphasized a new fishing mechanic, but also introduced new characters and locations related to Fallout's Dunwich Mystery.

It actually started with Point Lookout but the only reason people played that DLC was to get Lincoln's Repeater
