Finished all the available content, let's talk some lore. [Spoilers]

[Caidryn]

So, having met the lovely lady in black, (and seen what I assume was a companion of hers near the control center, surrounded by dead order guards, with an email about him being extremely difficult to kill) I assume she is one of the elite gatekeepers, kitted out with what looks like it might be the necronomicon at her hip.

I'm assuming the Elite Gatekeepers use IS subjects to maintain control and order, something we end up doing with the shotgun and the cube, ourselves. That said, she says something quite interesting.

"You are of our kith, but not our kin."

Kith being old English for "friend or neighbor" and Kin being "family". You are a friend, but not our family, and ahead our kind cannot coexist. I assume she recognizes that we are, in fact, not human.

I have a feeling that our death and respawning isn't just something done for gameplay convenience. (though it is also that.) There are multiple entries on IS subjects impersonating staff. From the good ol' Coworker to our buddy we let out of his cell when we took control of the turrets.

I'm wagering we are a similar IS ourselves. Something that poses as an employee on their first day, transferring from another facility, that is also immortal, when killed it wakes once more back in its bed.

If you have any interesting theories and/or observations about the game that aren't outright said anywhere, please share them below.

I have some sort of proof that the one we let out is not normal. Before the week update or so, the one that we let out of his cell is the only talkable npc that doesn't have a radio channel when walking away from him, he has it now.... And the teleport thing

The girl at the end simply Dark Soul Soul series reference really. She there just to look cool. I saw from guide Youtube someone make to the end and explaining or maybe it is other Youtuber
there more quote from her as well but simply she say like stay here and you will be safe etc.

Respawn is well respawn and I dont think there should be any complex lore to it. I not fan of 4th wall stuff sry bout that

I hope dev dont stop at lv 4-5 with all craftable furniture. I really want mooore and mooore content with everything we can make like Lv1 tier items to Lv 8 tier items like what we currently have but it more like Lv2 tier item (medium size) and few can be lv 3 tier

Are you talking about Dr Cahn or what's his face? I also find it very weird how he just immediately appears behind you when you reset security at the control center. I mean thats a pretty long walk. Something is definitely off about that guy.

Dr Cahn is actually the guy who is supposed to continue our training from the intro/tutorial, but yeah my eyebrow raised when i saw him behind me instantly as well

Preeeetty sure Dr. Cahn was not the next person we were supposed to speak to, here.


This is the Cell we find him in, Labelled IS-012

A Manse recording near the Terrasque has some pretty specific stuff to say about IS-012.

The room you find the recording in even overlooks his cell.

His story when you meet him in the cell is also way too convinient. This guy is an impostor for sure.
