What is the Purpose of STEM

[Okami42]

As long as it doesnt get answered in the second game, can someone tell me why they even made STEM. Like what does that accomplish or does it have any purpose. Why did they build it? I dont understand even after playing through the base game and each of the dlcs.

The 2nd game elaborates so I'm not sure how to answer, but basicaly, Ruvik was trying to use it to re-live his life, Mobius basically wants it for population control.

to control the world.... to connect or link all the brain alltogether.. to create community? Order? Or something like that.. at least, thats what Mobius is planning after all...

If I remember correctly. theres also a way to remote control the STEM so u can activate it without making people sleeping in the bathtub...

IF Mobius can do that, (or at least can make that).. surely they can control the world by using their mind... maybe thats what Administrator wants all along.. But Ruvik only wanted to unite with his sister, thats why he created it?.. but Mobius has a different agenda, thats why they've been using Ruvik to develop it???

I dont know if My theory is false.. but thats what I understand so far..

Sorry for my bad English

The second game will clear things up, don't worry. Just play for yourself and you'll see!

Bad English? I understood everything you typed perfectly fine, and your assessment is spot on, thats what I took from it after repeated playthroughs.

In this Evil Within the machine has a few goals. For Ruvik he is intending to and does in fact use the machine to place his consciousness inside a new body. Ruvik's old body was badly damaged and then Mobius reduced him to a brain in a jar. Ruvik is also using the machine to torment the people that tormented him in life but ultimately that is him experimenting with trying to enforce his will unto another. Reuniting with his sister could also be one of his goals but we never see the fruition of that. The world you play through is based on Ruvik's life because he's creating the world but that isn't the point of the machine really.

Ruvik conceived the machine and then planned to build it but Mobius stepped in and killed him only to be forced to use his brain as the core of the machine as Ruvik's designs were tailored specifically to his brain. Mobius are likely only studying the machine in the original game.

The sequel doesn't explain what the machine was for in the original Evil Within because what the machine is being used for changes depending on the user. The machine is a shared consciousness machine in both but it is doing something different in the sequel.

In the sequel the machine is a means for Mobius to control the entire population of the world by placing them in the alternate reality of Union. STEM is not wireless in that game, everybody is in pods but the end goal is to eventually send a wireless signal worldwide once the group have enough people in pods. Pod people boost the STEM signal strength in that one. Mobius members with chips would be unaffected by the signal.
