The sense of eschatology is a kind of fear and anxiety about the imminent collapse of human civilization and social order. The sense of eschatology is usually caused by natural disasters, nuclear war, Resident Evil, alien invasion, religious prophecy and other factors, which reflects people's pessimism and despair about the future. The sense of eschatology is also a theme of artistic creation. By showing the survival challenges and moral dilemmas of human beings after the arrival of doomsday, we can express our thoughts on the significance of human existence. One form of eschatology is the wasteland style, which is a sub-type of post-apocalyptic style. Wasteland-style works show that after human civilization was destroyed by climate disasters, nuclear wars, resource crises and other disasters, the survivors fell into the double trap of humanity and ethics in the wasteland with scarce resources, so as to express their thoughts on the significance of human existence. The representative works of wasteland style include the movie Crazy Max series and the game Radiation series.
