lynn, jessica and pregnancy [SPOILERS]

[uccisopascia]

how lynn got pregnant and most importantly, gave a birth in a one night? did i miss something? and in one of the last video footages where he and lynn were walking within the storm, blake was saying that "she got jess out" instead of lynn. was she jess or somebody else? and blake was dreaming about someone else who was pregnant instead of lynn? but in any case she should't be jessica as his flashbacks to the catholic school couldn't been seen in video records? i mean whenever this mysterious broadcast had an effect on blake he couldn't see what was happened afterwards... as i couldn't get all the notes and records i guess i might have missed something..

The pregnancy is not real. Its hallucination. Lynn said something like the baby is not real or w/e in the end.
The white light and sound is from Murkoff towers and they alter your reality.
Notice how weird ♥♥♥♥ start happens after every hit from that light.
Lynn was covered in caverns but she was still hit but it not affected her that much.


Also ready comics that are on outlast website ;)

I wish I never played this game. It was so umm unconventional

The pregnancy was a phantom one, most likely caused by the engine from the 1st game.
In the first game there were documents saying something about the engine causing them in women, usually ending in death

My own headcanon (I don't think this will ever be canon, but I find it amusing to think about) is that the Walrider from the first game was secretly in the area. As we know in the first game, the Walrider had an effect on female employees and patients that caused them to experience pregnancy, even without having sex. In the first game, it states that these employees would have their fake pregnancies, and usually die in the process of this fake birth. Which makes me wonder if in a future entry, the devs will be like "oh yeah, and the walrider was there the whole time". ... So, it stands to reason that if Miles was secretly in the area that the Walrider could have caused Lynn to experience that weird super sped up pregnancy.

here to necropost off your necropost, but this actually isn't far from the truth.

the murkoff account comics, which bridge the gap between the first and second game, explain miles' fate after mount massive. while murkoff claims miles and billy hope are dead, there are several contradictions throughout the comics proving that miles is still alive.

in the epilogue of the murkoff account, murkoff's towers are shown to be destroyed by ants - previously connected in issues #3 and #4 to the walrider and to both billy and miles.

murkoff mitigation agent pauline glick investigates temple gate after its destruction and recovers blake as the catatonic sole survivor of the incident, sending him to the morphogenic engine compatible elrich facility. his camcorder seems to be mysteriously missing, and the baby is nowhere in sight. the agents try to puzzle out lynn's cause of death,[imgur.com] not mentioning pregnancy once, proving that the baby was a hallucination. but where is blake's camcorder?

a vague figure wearing a jacket is pictured observing the cleanup and the conversation in the background of this scene. this is likely to be an easter egg allusion to miles!

the scene in question. miles can be seen in the top right corner, on the hill.[imgur.com]

simon peacock, who is introduced as a prototype of the walrider, is also certain that miles and the walrider are still alive and coerces paul marion, pauline's partner, to help him find them. he also describes the temple gate experiment as a real life trial of morphogenic engine technology - bringing us back to the original basis of mkultra and mind control.

so overall, i think it would be safe to assume that temple gate was another version of the morphogenic engine experiment, and the likely presence of miles and the walrider may have enhanced the effects of the towers tenfold, causing the delusions we see around lynn. this may have also been where the fear of the antichrist originated, as the walrider could be seen as a demonic entity and knoth's writings describe it quite accurately.[outlast.fandom.com]

by the end of the game, blake is reduced to catatonia due to his exposure to the towers, which were destroyed by the walrider, trapped inside his mind with his memory of jessica. since lynn was least exposed to the towers, she did not share the hallucination between blake and knoth at the end of the game, and correctly deduced that the baby wasn't really there.

Oh wow, I didn't think I'd get that close with just a guess. But, yeah, if everything you've said here is true, I actually basically nailed it. And this would make sense, since obviously Lynn was experiencing pregnancy like symptoms, so much so that everybody was noticing, not just Blake. So, if Miles really was in the area, that would explain that, and since the baby was only shown at the very end, it very well could've been all a hallucination. This is fascinating to know my shot in the dark is actually pretty close.

SHE WASN'T PREGNANT. In outlast lore or maybe in real life, there are such things called phantom pregnancies. These phantom pregnancies were caused by the morphogenic machine and by the towers that work like the morphogenic machine. The symptoms are the swelling of the stomach and cramps. At the end of the game when Blake is holding the "baby" THERE'S NO SHADOW. And since Lynn was in the mines the whole time the towers' signals didn't get to her as much so she can see that there is nothing there. And those are her last words before she dies. This explains why she was "pregnant" so quickly and why the baby isn't real. There's at least one part of the game where you can see and record the towers with the camcorder.
