It's hard to say what the AI had planned, but perhaps it really did have humanity's best interest in mind. The point of the story may be though, that even if the robots wanted to give humanity a better life, it still wouldn't be the life that Lana and the people of her village knew. For better or worse, they were content with the simple life they had and did not want that to change.
I'm pretty sure this is what happens. After all, when Mui is captured, they get taken away alive. I think all the weapons are stun weapons, and the idea is that Lana and Mui are captured, thus unable to continue their journey.
All in all I loved this story for it's weaving and it's mystery. Love all these theories. Thank you Wishfully for a total gem. Studio Ghibli would be proud.
Overall, it seems the consensus is that the AI's and robots' actions are a result of their interpretation of their directive to protect humans, possibly taken to an extreme level in the absence of proper control. Undoubtedly, the debates about the motives of the AI, the nature of Mui-like creatures, and the journey of Lana and her people add rich depth to the game's plot and narrative.
Thank you so much for your sweet and kind words, and the award! :)
I wanted to read more about the background of this game.
After reading all those, I now even wonder why players believe the wildlife were actually robots, like the boar and even spiders?
I don't remember seeing any references them being robotics.
They rather seemed to be normal animals, hence being ground to food (I also believe they were made into nutrient paste).
If they were robots, then why the cat was spared? As some others have mentioned, (and I totally agree with), cat was taken away cuz it was not "food source". You don't like finding mechanical parts in your morning can, do you?
I also miss the theorizing about the musical notes robots tend to use.
It might be just me, but the song they play when "evil" sounds very similar to the song the boy plays to turn them braindead controllable units. (except for the horse, it is not braindead).
The "evil" note sounds off, but it wants to be the same. Like it having overtones and it becomes distortic.
There is no word about those floating drones and their control stations either, while I believe it is also very interesting. Autonomous drones do not need a control station nearby and yet, our boy (or girl, no idea) often "hacks" those drones through them.
I wanted to know more. I'm a sucker of mysterious sci-fi stories.
But the game is too bland for me to play by myself. I was watching a full gameplay on youtube.
I thought that people of Lana (the planet) were an advanced civilization, and chose to make the voyage to another habitable planet. Maybe because of some sort of impending disaster on their home planet. Since this is probably over a span of light years in distance and centuries in time, they can't contact with the home planet. Then, either a) something happens to the ship right at the end of it's voyage and the AI does the only thing it knows to do, go back to the original planet and collect more people for another attempt. Or b) the voyage is a success, and the members of the new planet sent their ship back to collect the rest of Lana(the planet)'s population, not knowing the disaster had either been averted or survived.
I'll admit neither of these ideas account for how the people of Lana(the planet) backslid from holograms and technology to wooden huts built on stilts above the water though, so your take probably makes more sense.
1. The ship departed a planet that is clearly Earth. Reasons unclear, but we know from the shrine murals that it carried humans, robots and mui (a specialised cat-like robot). We can also see that it is a colony ship, likely a generation ship, and carried on board a gene or embryo bank.
2. The ship arrived at the Planet Moon of Lana, also called Novo. There the ship landed - it is unclear if this was a crash landing or an intentional landing, though the use of escape pods suggests the former. The ship is not intended to be launched again: It's a colony ship. It is made for that one journey. The journey look many years, if not generations, as the ship went through four captains - the final one of which was a robot. This suggests that the ship was increasingly dependent on AI operation.
3. The colonisation was, surprisingly, a success. Humans did what humans do: They spread, they bred, they colonised. Over time though, the people lost their technology. It is not clear if this was something intentional, perhaps motivated by an ideological desire for life closer to nature (humans do love to romanticise the past) or a practical matter of being unable to maintain their technology without advanced infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities.
4. By the events of the game, the humans have adapted to this new world and spread far. The old colony ship is abandoned, either due to crash damage, or from having became uninhabitable without the required technological base for repairs - straw huts are a lot easier to maintain. But it is not abandoned that long ago. There are still elders around who remember a childhood in the ship. Back in those days, merely a number of decades before the events of the game, people still had functional photographic technology, ship clothing, and children were often accompanied by Mui. This suggests that the ship's landing was at most one long lifetime ago. Long enough that the stories children heard from their great-grandparents are starting to become mythology.
5. The Mui. Cat-like, monkey-like, of Earth manufacture. Their function is unclear, but they are evidently made to be highly social, and seen with children. It is possible their function is social, or protective. Mui-tech appears to be as much biological as it is robotic, and while many other 'life'forms delivered to the world share a similar technological base, only the Mui appear intelligent. Indeed, they have command authority over the other bio-robotic life. There aren't many left though - they came along on the ship, and while the ship-born were raised with many Mui, population growth and the attrition of time have taken their toll now: There just aren't enough Mui left.
6. And that brings us to the robots. Where are they from? They share technology with the ship, so they must be of Earth origin. They are not damaged, suggesting that they were not on the ship when it landed - perhaps another part of the mission, one which arrived slightly late. They are, though, not actually hostile: They never use lethal force against humans, and go to extreme lengths to keep the humans from harm. Though they are not that big on freedom either. They appear to be simply malfunctioning - most likely following a directive to protect humans taken to an extreme. If the ship were intact, perhaps stopping them would be a simple matter of an officer asserting command authority - but with much technological knowledge lost, the machines cannot be shut down. I could theorise, though I have little to back it up, that the robots were intended to be the heavy machinery of the colonisation project and their absence in the decades post-landing is the reason for the loss of technology.
7. Lana may not know a lot about technology, but the old man gave them some advice. Perhaps the single most important piece of advice in tech support: Try turning it off and on again. Lana is able to infiltrate the core of one of their mobile habitat-complexes, and turn it off. That's about all Lana can do alone though.
8. Mui, however? Mui is an artificial creation. And Mui is OLD. Mui are of Earth manufacture - our cute little sidekick is probably centuries in age. And while a Mui may look like a cross between a monkey and a cat, they are artificially intelligent and know how to operate this old tech. A Mui can do more than push buttons. All our Mui needed was access to the core of the machines, and Lana's assistance forcing a reboot. I believe that Mui's apparent 'death' was nothing off the sort: It was an upload. It was Mui, not Lana, who fixed the machines. I might speculate that this is because the Mui, being created as highly social companion creatures, are engineered with a high level of empathy. Or perhaps bio-robotic brains are less dogmatic in their programming than the mechanical minds of the purely robotic. Either way, Mui are sophisticated enough to understand that helping humans means more than keeping them safe from physical danger.
8b. Mui, like the machine core, needs to go offline for a brief time to carry out this repair. Just long enough to give Lana quite the scare!
9. With the reboot providing the required opportunity, and physical access to the machine core, Mui sets right the errant programming. Either by giving the robots the knowledge to reconsider their actions, or overwriting their programming with its own. It clearly interfaced with the ship's core during the reboot process. With the robots thus enlightened (forcefully) they free the humans and become very cooperative, assisting humans in developing their new planet moon. It is quite possible that this assistance was their original purpose, had things gone entirely as planned.
Conclusion: This isn't Lana saving the day. This is the Mui the Engineer, and their human sidekick.
