That part where the hearthian was explaining the prisoner the full story hit me so hard man

47:00 I swear to God, the base game was already one of the most unsettling experiences I've had (looking at you, Dark Bramble's fishes!), and the devs decided to go full on Kojima's P.T. with the DLC. Discovering the eclipse from the satellite and going full speed to this devouring darkness was the first hint of the terrors to come, and seeing a damn *corpse* standing behind you in a dark tunnel in the Eye is just as unsettling! What I mean, is... Congrats, Mobius devs. I'm very picky when it comes to horror, and yours is perfectly tuned to my tastes!

They threw their companion in an eternal prison for trying to alert others to the eye and then at some later point decided to even destroy the combinations to his cell locks, most likely well after they'd surmised all of their bodies including the prisoner's had died and no one was left to interfere with the signal jammer. I really don't know how to read that other than spite and malice borne out of their unabating terror of the end. Don't forget the elks are free to end their own existence whenever they wish by snuffing their own lanterns, but they don't. They snuff out yours because they (correctly) see you as a potential threat to their eternal limbo. They presumably stop hunting you if you stay in the simulation because if you don't do anything but persist there, they'll eventually recognize you as simply another shade like them. But I really don't interpret their psychology as benign in the slightest, and I think that's what makes the prisoner all the more heroic. Just my read though, the game leaves endless space for interpretation.

I don't know if I will ever get an answer on that comment, but I've been wondering: how come, in the second ending of this video, the Owls stop chasing you? I mean, when you don't take off the warp core and go to the "dream world" by dying, they can chase you and turn off your artifact, which leads to the loop starting again since we died both IRL and in the dream world (because our artifact was blown off). So, what would prevent the Owls from doing the same when the time loop is gone? Shouldn't we also die because our lights are turned off by them, like we do when they find us while the time loop is active? If anything, they WOULD have the time to do so if we have eternity to run from them. If anyone has a answer to that or to explain something I misunderstood, I'll gladely take it!

It depends how deep you want to get into it. The entire game revolves around us making it to the eye and observing it. Which makes it certain. This sends every possibility back in time. Which in essence starts a new universe. The creatures we see in the end scene arent the prisoner or nomai. But species inspired by them(the eye uses our memories to shape the new universe to an extent). So in short. The eye used our memories to create a new universe.

not technically. but the codes cant be found in game. so unless you cheat or try every single possible code...you have to die.

The codes thing while real, all three can be bypassed by what the game teaches you.

Otherwise why put all that chat with the prisoner in the end if you can't get to it because you die? Is it so that you try to brute force it since you have infinite time loops to do it? Or maybe there's something hidden that we didn't find out yet?
