As I have said previously (in my Eldritch review), Cthulhu mythos is a wonderful well of inspiration and design, if used properly.
In Part-One, I discussed the three types of difficulty found in games. This post picks up where we left off and dives deeper into artificial difficulty.

Games can be hard, and games can be fun. Sometimes these statements refer to the same game, sometimes they cannot refer to the same game. But, we can all agree that difficulty is a defining part of any game. In this two-part post, I will discuss what exactly makes difficulty, and how to identify it in games.
