You could look into how the Spartans are surgically and cybernetically modified humans - I think that falls under the theory of transhumanism.

Where the devil does Eternal Darkness include any particular scifi ideas? Alternating timelines? I guess in the Lovecraftian sense it's pretty scifi...

 

The whole game is one big lesson on the 7th dimension.  Which techincally makes it more scientific than science fiction though that's where the mosnters and magik come in.

Hold up

You're gonna have to elaborate on that one

I'll brief you on the various dimeneions in string theory.

 

Dimension 1 - A single point.

Dimension 2 - 2 points with an intersecting line between them.

Dimension 3 - A fold between those points allowing the them to touch (roll up a piece of paper into a tube and thus 2D becomes 3D). 

Dimension 4 - Time.  The difference in status between various points in a timeline.

Dimension 5 - Two dimensional time. Branching paths off any given time stream.

Dimension 6 - Time travel.  3D time.  Folding time back in on itself (likes the piece of paper).

Dimension 7 - All possible timelines from the beginning to the end of time. Infinity.

Dimension 8 - A line between the infinity in our universe and the infinity in an alternate universe.

Dimension 9 - Folding infinities between those universes.  Travel between universes.

Dimension 10 - The infinity of all infinities of all universes.

 

 

I guess technically it's more a lesson in the 9th dimension, than the 7th.
