Lore Discussion

[cossechan]

I just want to talk about what kind of story there is going on in this game...
Like the SEEK THE TRUTH BEYOND THE WALLS and THE WRITINGS ON THE WALL (LITERALLY). Where do you think this wall is located? on what map? Please just share me your theories.

bro it literally just A FULL dive VR game show/ Esport set in the future were the technology exist just like E sports today like league of legends tournaments people win prize money from

Yeah, there's lore. Especially with the latest intro.
The "hosts" (we have no idea if these are "real" people or not) talk about glitches and seem to indicate they're something to be worried about. We don't actually know if our avatars-in-the-simulation-in-the-simulation are real people or like... AI... or Glados from Portal... we have no idea.

So fun lore, yeah, but we know zero things so far.

if they do an ARG concept i think that could be really cool (recently dreamcatcher dabbed into this too and honestly it was a lot of fun)
to be fair when i started playing this whole commentator thing gave me very... dystopian feels maybe its just me

Yeah, like if you think about books/movies like uh Running Man or something.
If you don't know the reference here's a quick wiki:

The story follows protagonist Ben Richards as he participates in the reality show The Running Man, in which contestants win money by evading a team of hitmen sent to kill them.

So yeah, we don't know if our avatars are like... prisoners? free people that want money? killed at the end? olympic athletes? gamers? We have no idea.

Maybe The Finals simulation-in-simulation is actually just a huge bitcoin farm lulz

i think this takes place in a dystopian world where we (humans) destroyed the planet so badly we asked computers to stop the suffering, each box is not personal money to be spent at 7/11 but money for your colony to buy resources from the computers.
WHY? you may ask
well i will tell you see the computer knows that the downfall of society is that people didn't wanna do the work for there meals in some sense of the way so it makes us dance through virtual hoops to earn our survival.
