what is a Quasimorph? (Lore)

[Silta]

So as the title asks, what is a Quasimorph or what is it? I'm very interested in the lore of this game and what they/it is. Is it a concept? A process? Religion? Interdimensional Aliens? I don't understand still and I've found little online about what the term means

A Quasimorph is a denizen of a Bramfatura, sort of an adjacent universe that overlaps ours in certain areas.

It is hard to speculate further on the matter because it is kind of evident that the Quasimorphs and Bramfaturas that are dealt with in the game are generally only inspired by the IRL conceptual ideology they are based on. They pay a bit of lip service to it for names and theme and beyond that they are their own discrete thing with their own rules and flavors.

A lot of this is going to boil down to 'We don't know' and probably will not know more until the game receives additional updates, but here is what we do know.

According to the descriptions of several stations and locations at each of the planets, there was some kind of big research project involving experimental technology by a bigwig scientist to pierce through dimensions/transition between adjacent and/or overlapping universes. They made first contact with an alien being known as Tectzlan, King of Gannix, the Bramfatura of Venus, and Tectzlan issued a message from their reality into ours. From there, the Magnum PMC the player operates in-game got roped in. While their exact role in what went down is fuzzy, the end-result is that the scientist behind the original project was decapitated and their severed head became an object of transdimensional interest sealed away inside a science vault, and Tectzlan succeeded in partially phasing into physical reality, and the barrier between universes was affected enough by the incident that now Quasimorphs can phase into our reality through ecolapse via poorly understood rules.

Their objective is to 'build' a new Gannix, an Emerald Empire for them to rule, in our reality by phasing in elements of Gannix in order to create a stable power base, impeded by a few inconveniences like Quasimorphs phasing back out of reality beyond Venus without intervention.

TL;DR, the basic answer to your question: A Quasimorph IS an interdimensional alien, with customs and rituals based on the dimension they originate from. There are theories that say Humans transmigrate into Bramfaturas after death and BECOME Quasimorphs, but that is never actually hard-confirmed anywhere.

EDIT: There are other Bramfaturas for Mercury and the Moon, but we know even less about them than we do about Gannix. They seem to have less interest in conquest - they seem to still get their rocks off from torturing Humans, but only Tectzlan seems to have a vested interest in permanently transmigrating over into our reality. There are a few lore blurbs out there in location descriptions and such indicating this is because Tectzlan has been 'rejected' by the original Gannix they were a king of, but there's next to zero elaboration on that.

Check out SsethTzeentach review of the game, i remember he briefly explain that the thing is based from a Russian literature book. So yeah, that's probably the closest lore explanation of this game until the devs added more story content to the game.

Rose of the World, that's where inspiration for bramfatura and its names came from

The humans-becoming-Quasimorphs theory holds more weight when you notice that Tectzlan's weapons and armor is very much Aztec. If they're aliens why do they wear Aztec-esque clothing and have an obsession with human organs? My headcanon is that humans that died during certain times of the year corresponding with celestial bodies like Venus would be transferred to the respective Bramfatura.

That's really not sound logic. It's Aztec-esque, not Aztec. There's nothing to say they have an obsession with human organs, just organs, and as there aren't other species present to provide organs, they're human. The kinda similarity of clothing and organ thing point more towards humans being influenced by the Quasimorphs in the past than just being them.

Got the Rose of the World pdf on a site and been using AI to read it as an audiobook while playing.

Got a glance at bits of Rose too. If i got it right 'beings' crafted spheres-bramfaturas as building blocks for Worlds (result vary from galaxy/universe to planet or moon).
Quasimorphs are untalented and filled with negative emotions. To make something they need titanic effort and its still defective and falling apart. But due to their angry nature they want to have and dominate so they invade and corrupt worlds created by good spheres. But when they win good bramphaturas start to fall apart till its Absentia and they are expelled into their poorly constructed bramfaturas they support with leeching Gavvakh.

Also not all Gavvakh is suffering. Its typical sins. Moon bramfatura is one of domains of some black temptress and denizens recharge by diving into white-ish rivers of human (and just any living beings if remember right) lust essense.
