A naming suggestion: Hekate or Hecate?
As a big fan of the previous game and a longtime fan of Greek mythology, I'm wondering what spelling of the name Hekate/Hecate the developers are choosing. I've been trying to find somewhere where they mention the name, but I can't seem to find it. I'm actually beginning to wonder if it has been officially declared or simply inferred by the audience as to the Goddess' inclusion. Can anyone point to an official spelling if it has already been decided?

I found one on their youtube trailer giving voice credit and spelled Hecate. I still find it very unusual that this character isn't referenced very often as of yet. I'd like to suggest the alternate spelling of Hekate to the developers if they feel it is possible to change their decision. There is no linguistic or etymological reasoning for such, but from a purely aesthetic viewpoint the "k" seems more emblematic of a crossroad than a "c". Furthermore, I think using the "c" is more suggestive of a chthonic tone rather than her transitional place between the realms. Curvature does seem to be the prevailing theme they're going for with the sickle and the crescent moons though. The sickle likely having its own role due to association with Cronus.

Regardless, I am looking forward to the game and am excited to see what great things they have planned.
