Theories on the story and how it relates to older concepts

All deeper meaning aside, which it is likely that this game does have a deeper meaning masked by the superficial story.
I'm really interested in what the next two episodes of the game will reveal about the story. As far as I can figure out the Grandmother is the girl that was infected with the poisonous green gas. That in the 30s/40s the house was found to be connected to a deep cavern. The story seems reminiscent of a old book that many began to believe was real. And the grandchildren seem like the enemies in it called Deros, short for Detrimental Robots. Contrary to the name these Deros were more like living beings. They are pale and can not see in the way we can. They are insane, ruthless, and vicious. And they were said to take prisoners and convert them into more of their kind. They also plot to one day reveal themselves to the surface and rule it. They are also apt at creating horrible technologies to control others.

Originally I thought the Grandchildren were larva and Grandmother was a insect, and those paintings/pictures hung up of the insect were portraits of her. But the notes near the end(like the one about following the bats that somehow linked to the unnamed girl's affliction and a gas) along with her being shown as a growing mass like a cancer dispelled that notion. Though the next two episodes might still show the grandchildren to be the larva stage of something. I thought ascension was the term they used for the other grandchildren going through a metamorphosis. Though in a way I was correct it turned out walklings were the ones that ascended into the grandchildren. My idea that this transformation has something to do with the gas is supported by the rooms with gas masks that later a note said were where humans and/or walklings were treated. The removal of the eyes and teeth might have a multifold purpose. To keep them blind and less able to fight while also facilitating the ascension. Since likely the eyes and teeth would rot and fall out in the process and be replaced.

Look under *The Shaver Mystery* section for a brief description of his concept. People have taken his stories as fact similar to what happened to H.P. Lovecraft and his *Cthulhu pathos*.

I have added a video by a believer in this stuff. Just like the false Lovecraftian version of the Necronomicon, The real one is Egyptian and rather innocuous. These fictional stories enter into the occultist's psyche and repertoire of reality models over time. Some consider the Greys to be Deros. And depending on their world view they variously see them as aliens(intergalactic or interdimensional) or as demons.
As a side note there have been induced sleep paralysis experiments that have achieved similar results to what a contactee/abductee/demonic encounterer describes. Like the famous painting by Henery Fuseli called *The Nightmare*(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Nightmare) showing a demon sitting on a victims chest. Depicting visually the feeling of helplessness and other worldliness experienced by those suffering from sleep paralysis.

Future edits will include links to the experiments done to emulate sleep paralysis and how it relates to multiple paranormal experiences. Sorry if this goes beyond this games content. This page is ment to be an expansion to the strictly game based content provided on this site.
