Help understanding the lore (SPOILERS!)

[AnonymousShade]

DISCLAIMER: I'm still learning. I'm not an expert on this and I need help understanding

I want to tell you all what I'm getting from this, and see if I got this right.

So the Ironclad, Silent, and Defect are creatures being 'restructed' by this god-like creature named Neow. I got hints that these 3 characters are being lead into the spire. They either die, or they make it to the end in which they lose conciousness to the heart.

Now I remember finding a book, and when you read it you take damage. It costs more damage to take the book, but one line sticks out saying "Will I finally retain my memories?" I've made it to the end of the spire with the book (only in the daily challenge, sadly ;;) and nothing happens.

I'm in the daily challenge yet again and I found this.

I am Neow?? I need a little explanation.

To my knowledge: Neow is some kind of godly figure. These figures in the first area would say "One of Neow's pawns" or something like that, so I could assume with the knowledge above plus that, that Neow is a god. So I am Neow?

The event will show you one of three randomly chosen memories, from either the Ironclad, the Silent, or the Defect. The one you got is the memory of the Defect first meeting Neow. The voice is Neow speaking to the Defect.

The player is represented by whichever character you pick. Neow is the giant whale creature at the bottom of the Spire, if that wasn't clear. Neow is the Ancient of Resurrection, and was banished to the bottom of the Spire for unknown reasons. Neow wants revenge on the Heart, and is using the playable characters as agents to carry out her revenge. Every time you die, you are resurrected by Neow, but lose your memories in the process. The only way to break the cycle would be to kill the Heart. (The event with the book gives you some interesting lore, but doesn't change the outcome.)

And there's no way to kill the heart (to my knowledge) so it's a loop. And the whale wasn't obvious - rip

Thanks so much!

Edit: So 3 memories for each characters? I'm gonna find them all now-

No way to kill the heart? What about the secret ending? I thought you did slay the heart there. Also I think that in the book event you get 1 memory for each character.
I would love a full official lore post from the devs by the way
