Stare at an imprisoned god to stop the apocalypse in Sarco, a no-saves horror game in which you'll also, somehow, have to explore a gutted scientific base

In Hello Andromeda's Sarco, you're trapped in a scientific research base with a sarcophagus housing a cosmic being that starts to open when you aren't looking at it. Friends, I am never going to beat this game - not because I dread to gaze into the abyss, lest it gaze into me, nor because as with Schrödinger's cat, I do not credit the sealed cosmic being with a stable existence prior to the box's opening. No, I'm going to fail because my parents taught me that it's rude to stare and they did not add the disclaimer "...unless you're trying to keep the lid on Shub-Niggurath, The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young."
