The Katamari Series Is A Cosmic Horror Story

Fear.

A concept we are all too wary of. Each one of us possesses individual unique aversions of fear that permeates, festers, mutates, and dwells within the dark recesses of our conscious and subconscious minds. Nothing strikes more fear than what is unknown and unknowable, and to flirt with the void could be enough to drive one insane.

One may look at the charming, sugar-coated, and optimistic exterior of which the Katamari series represents itself as; BUT YE SHALT NOT BE DUPED, NOR BE SO FOOLHARDY! These games are an anthology of the cosmic indifference and omniscient ambivalence that far exceeds our comprehension of our purposelessness. That we are insignificant in the grand scheme of things; but an atom of a speck on a grain of sand in comparison to our conceivable notion of the observable universe. We merely abide to the whim of forces beyond our imagination…

So, the King of All Cosmos gets absolutely space crunk hammered on celestial lean - and being the binge-drinking Magaluf mad-lad that he is, ends up destroying all the entire universe sans the Earth (and presumably the Sun too).

Naturally, it’s up to you - the Son of the King of All Cosmos (The Prince) to fix your father’s boozy galaxy-blasting bender. Before we even set foot on Earth’s terrestrial plain to Marie Kondo away all this mess, let us just take the time to appreciate that in this universe: aliens exist, that they are an omnipotent race of super-beings capable of leveling entire stars systems, and that these baguette-brained extraterrestrial life-forms use Earth as their personal little living hub.
