The Cloud (Phenomenon)

The Cloud is a phenomenon that serves as the main story element of The Cloud. It is a thick fog that has completely covered and enveloped the planet Earth. The Cloud obscures the player's vision and is inhabited by horrible monsters. The cloud is chrome/white at all hours of the day.
==Origins==
While it is not made explicitely clear at first where the Cloud comes from, graffiti that can be found on walls implies that the United States government had something to do with its creation. Whether this is accurate or just anti-government nonsense is unclear.
Using clues placed throughout the map, it can be learned that the Cloud emerged several years before the events of the game from a portal that opened in the Bermuda Triangle. This portal led to a nightmarish dimension akin to Hell, releasing the Cloud and its monstrous inhabitants.
==Inhabitants==
The cloud is inhabited by a large number of species, all of which hunt on the basis of scent (as the mist makes sight almost useless to them), but some of which can also be attracted to light.
==Trivia==
*The concept of the cloud is based off of the fog from Silent Hill and the Stephen King novella The Mist, as well as the John Carpenter film The Fog.
*Graffiti that can be found in alleyways hints that the Cloud itself is sentient or possesses some kind of consciousness, with quotes like "That fog...that fog is messing with me. It's talking to me."
