In terms of endurance, their chemical augmentation makes them practically ignorant to pain, they routinely carry hundreds of pounds of equipment while sprinting, jumping, and performing strenuous activities for literal hours on end

#

In terms of strength, the smallest melee weapon is a knife - I don't know whether to compare them making a sleeper's head explode like a watermelon with a single stab, or them obliterating ~inch thick steel doors with ~5(?) swings

#

... I wonder how they'd compare to halo's Spartans or Orion program

#

But I'm sure someone in this chat would be autistic enough to actually do said measurements

... who was it that spent several days trying to calculate the force required to break down the blood door in dauda's audio log?

is heart rate a false equivalency to being winded?

Had this convo a few months ago. It's something that's not really addressed by the game or any log.

Best guess is HSUs could provide some form of nutrients between drops but its not directly talked about.

Only cannon bodily functions we know about is Schaeffer and his buckets

past vessel
#

It is though

#

In the starting screen it talks about an HRV value

thin surge
#

I'm more concerned on what Schaeffer is eating in both OG and ALT, especially since the reason he was a KSO at all was entertaining an HSU to avoid starvation

Quick question. Since the NAM-V virus and the parasite are two separate things (although symbiotic) and everyone on the surface is infected (to my understanding), is everyone on the surface a monster or are they just all dead and the monsters are only in Garganta ?

honest summit
#

^parasites are local to garganta

thin surge
# haughty tree Quick question. Since the NAM-V virus and the parasite are two separate things (...

More than likely they're dead instead of being sleepers. While there are definitely some creatures on the surface (at least in the ALT universe) they're likely leaks from Garganta and not mutated infected people.

The virus was also more devastating for those on the surface than in Garganta due to their extremely limited knowledge that it even existed.

As far as turning into creatures, we dont have much to go off of other than their designs and the mention of human corresponding DNA found in several of them. Additionally a good majority of the sleepers in Garganta came from the large chamber of The Inner, and spread out when the last employees went to go fight it.

does anyone know the lore of what the wendy's frozen beverage is?

so like, did we ever find out what the pMOTHER trial samples were or is that only mentioned in the r2a1 mission description and never again anywhere else?

ionic dune
#

Or smth like that

dense saffron
#

wait i misunderstood

#

i don't think there's anything that links it to what happens to the neonate

#

maybe its the stuff that gets put into the neonate

ionic dune
#

That's how i interpreted it

copper pine
#

we injecting stuff inside the baby

#

just like that one log

eternal talon
#

regardless, that infant is left behind and presumably dies at the end of r3

#

it was only ultimately relavant in helping our quad access further expeditions

#

via cracking some 'dna lock' or otherwise, one might assume.

honest summit
#

Personally, i would think its related to the Project rise. Maybe comparing the Samples from it Could determine what May have been the issue with them Not surviving for long

#

After all, both are cases that are related to rapidly growing Embryos

light harness
#

Thats the message i was looking for😃

Finally played r8 after 2 years and get to read all the lore now. Im frantically looking for some sort of cop-out as the story turned out to be quite underwhelming, and while im not against "and then everybody died" kind of stories, gtfo really left a bad taste in my mouth

#

Also the whole all-infecting virus that kills all and its in every universe schtick is kinda lame tbh

raw terrace
#

my headcanon is they order te main 4 to immediately go into hsus, and we dont know how quarantined the restricted zone was so it could be like nontouch anymore

#

and they use the other sectors

#

and waos

glacial karma
#

yeah i think theres a solid chance, certainly a higher chance than the main 4 surviving r8 at all in the first place

light harness
#

after all that suffering that both the players and the characters endure it would be just comically evil ending to infect the last clean membrane or so

#

comically stupid too

glacial karma
#

i mean, story makes it very obvious that they are NOT good people

raw terrace

actually can nam-v travel through plants

#

or just animals/people

light harness
#

ill write it off as lack of funding for 10cc that made them to wrap the story as it is

raw terrace
glacial karma
#

it was mentioned the virus can survive for many years even without a host
but will die over time when the host dies

raw terrace
#

they r on a clean state of miind and seem to clearly regret what they did

glacial karma
#

HSU was the solution bcos they can just remain inside indefinitely until the virus has died out

light harness
#

overall i expected more and am a bit dissapointed

#

2.5 years and 800 hours after i get this

raw terrace
#

so like, probs +200 people

#

just by the hsus we see on there at thhe end

glacial karma
#

yeah people isnt the issue
the major concern is: the moment they stepped into that dimension probably some of the virus went into the air
and if it makes contact with any wildlife even a worm on the floor its over the planet is done for
but its also possible on a small chance that there was no wind or something and that virus never made it out to touch any living creatures

#

its a reasonable assumption imo that the expedition team made precautions to prevent any accidental future teleports spreading the virus too

#

they know the destination coordinate so they wouldv built the precautions around that

light harness
raw terrace
#

rlly ti can be the ending u want since we dont know ✨

#

not until my new game afterfo

#

which will follow a new team coming back to cure the virus

glacial karma
#

yeah, its odd that u just see trees imo
in reality probably u'd see a bunch of coverings isolating the tp area

light harness
#

the terrain around seems kinda barren so while it is most certain a limitation of the engine we can assume durant's expedition deforestated everything in a 30 kilometer radius except for the very point we teleported to

glacial karma

A Fractured History
Las Noticias Central, Science Desk
June 3rd 2050

As the cleanup continues after the devastating Merida quake, a team of scientists from the Instituto Geológico are trying to figure out when the Merida faultline appeared, and if the seismic shift was a sign of things to come, or a forgotten history.

Their research has not been limited to the Yucatan. In their quest for answers they have sought archeological societies as far north as the Texas Independence and as far south as Honduras. The answers they were seeking turned up at the Lamanai Archaeological Project in Belize. The team uncovered ancient Mayan records of several earthquakes in the region, with the most recent one being in the mid 13th century. 

Researchers at the Lamanai project studied scores of tablet inscriptions from their extensive library and discovered reference to a series of catastrophic population declines that occurred in the Yucatan between 800 and 1300 CE. Until the Merida quake, these population fluctuations were assumed to be related to the frequent outbreaks of disease in the region. 

Now, with the context of the newly discovered fault line it seems like the ancient Mayan scribes were giving us more information than we knew. While disease is still almost certainly the reason for the massive drop in Mayan population during the 9th century, the cause of the disease is now much clearer. Earthquakes.

Earthquakes are not a major cause of casualties in the ancient world. Structures were too small and the population was too widely dispersed to inflict mass casualties even from the most powerful of quakes. It is the famine and disease, and the hardship which follows that claims the most number of lives. There have been man [Corrupted]

“Where did the Mayans go?” - Our Earth magazine 9/25/43

A new theory regarding the sudden demise of Mayan culture has been presented by Dr. Yvette Hernandez at the Anthropology Forum convention. Dr. Hernandez’s research posits that the Mayans were almost completely wiped out several times by an illness they referred to as “Flea Demons”. Though the interpretation of hieroglyphic stelae leaves much room for interpretation, Dr. Hernandez believes she has discovered conclusive references to mass deaths related to the illness on three separate occasions, right up to the 16th century during the occupation of Mayan territory by the Spanish Conquistadors…


“Superman, Superbug” - Medical Examiner 12/3/44

We’re at war. Right now. All of us. Our entire species. We’ve always been at war, and until recently we’ve been winning the fight. No quarter has been given to our adversary, yet no matter how often we drive the opponent back, they return with greater power and more tactical strength to assault us once again. Who is this arch-nemesis? What has been attacking our species since we first came down from the trees? Who is this enemy we cannot vanquish? Bugs. Bacteria. Viruses. Microorganisms. From the black death, to the Mayan Flea Demons, to Ebola and the SARS Covid outbreaks in the early part of the century, the Superbug always returns stronger and more resilient than before; so, what are we doing to fight them?...```

“Nightmare Neighbours” - Deep Fields 06/14/44
The idea of an interstellar virus that could survive an environment as hostile as space is a mystery that has captivated the imagination of both scientists and the general public for decades. A recent biochemical analysis of those remarkably robust yet unassuming tardigrades is once again forcing us to question the origin of some of earth's oldest viruses. If the lowly tardigrade is capable of withstanding being frozen, irradiated, desiccated, asphyxiated, starved, battered and all around abused, what about the viruses it carries? Are they too...```

nothing like that is mentioned in logs. the mayans didn't win, it was more of a draw. they both died out. either mayans running suicide missions into the caves or regardless, the excuse i've heard is that the population density then wasn't enough for it to spread far beyond the initial POI

depends...

obviously not all sleepers are human, there are the destination fauna and what not...

most of the sleepers in garganta presumably were once fully human

as to respawn room sacks... that is cloning of already infected individuals... so perhaps not?

and mothers... the children are infected in womb so i have no fucking clue if that counts

genetically, the parasite is mutating them to achieve the forms it wants to control, so their cells would be no less human than cancer cells

the parasites seem to keep themselves whole in hosts they control, laying eggs somewhere near the intestines, hard to tell

According to Captain Puente they are coordinated and highly aggressive. I have asked the soldiers to capture one but they tell me the creatures disappear before their corpses can be recovered. Not disappear… vanish, maybe? It's probably a translation issue.

### Entry: Gallus {genus}
Poss. intro? fix end bit
/quote
There are cross-species behavioral distinctions that separate all species within the genus. The dark-skinned variants tend to be more active hunters, suggesting the darker pigmentation is a product of natural selection. They are harder to see and therefore more successful predators. The light skinned breed are still vicious and will attack at the slightest provocation, but they do not seek the prey as actively, they are more disposed to sedentary, almost somnific, behavior. They wait, and strike when roused.

in gameplay, all sleepers do for performance reasons.

in lore, only the red "wave" variant/subspecies do

I ascribe that they are permeable to the dimension. As in once dead they return to their original dimensions because of the fuckery with the matter wave projector. The ones who remain are original to this dimension.

Amniotic fluid

The amniotic fluid is the protective liquid contained by the amniotic sac of a gravid amniote. This fluid serves as a cushion for the growing fetus, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between mother and fetus.
Colloquially, the amniotic fluid is commonly called water or waters (Latin liquor ...

The nuts and bolts of the process
are a closely guarded secret, but sources speculate that the procedure
likely uses a synthetic amniotic fluid to sustain and protect the body
while it is in an induced comatose state. In this state, the body is -
for all intents and purposes - dead, but no cell deterioration or
physical decay occurs. For the human in Hydrostasis, the heart, and
time, stops.

Rundown 8.0 Logs

The following article archives all of the logs, voice-overs, and other related lore which can be found within Rundown 8.0, or were released at the same time as the rundown. As these logs may have gone through revisions in subsequent updates to GTFO, this article represents the current version of the logs as found within the game.

Thesis: Every installation of GTFO is ontologically distinct

That time someone aggroed the entire map because they sneezed while holding left click? Canon timeline.

Every seed, every desync, every missed shot, every door someone accidentally opens too early these are not “mistakes.” They are historical records from adjacent containment timelines.

You wiped because somewhere, in a materially real branch of existence, four prisoners actually did panic and die under one spitter cluster.

The reason GTFO has matchmaking issues is because the game is struggling to align you with prisoners from sufficiently compatible universes. Extreme lag occurs when two realities with contradictory moral outcomes attempt synchronization. If one player has “already died” in too many adjacent timelines, packet loss increases because causality itself resists the connection.

Speedrunners are ontological poachers. They move through unstable realities too quickly for the Warden to fully instantiate suffering.

Sleeper lore
The sleepers are listening to a version of you that failed. They pray for you because they already know the outcome probability distribution curve.

Ammo packs are extradimensional guilt compression devices left behind by the collectors. The reason they only have “uses” instead of bullets is because the Warden quantizes regret into discrete survivable rations, hence why they are called prisoners.

Rundown 8 takes place after the Bone Epoch.

WOULD YOU RATHER

  1. be forced to guide a random team of KSOs (manually issuing their commands and overseeing them via map) to complete a random expedition (you die if they lose)
  2. play Russian roulette with Schaeffer but the revolver has five bullets and you go first.

# north obsidian maybe there is like a one niche log explaining snatchers

Not really, its more of an added challenge to several levels earlier than R7C1. The ALT doesn't have R7 occur to our knowledge, so its one of those things that could be chopped up to "its always been there in the ALT dimension".

The "origin" in R7 is more of a plot hole since we never encountered them earlier and never get a clear explanation of what happened in that area beforehand. (I don't hold this against the team since introducing new enemies to the game added a needed variety at the time)

#

like, the KSOs aren't dumb individually, they just don't have the free will to choose their actions

#

issuing general commands they should be able to follow on their own

#

if you tell them to just complete the expedition, they'd probably get stuck on a security door or if something unexpected occurs and they require input on what to do about it

That log is part of a series of logs following a pregnant woman and her partner John. She has been infected and is in a state of delirium. Timestamp is ~10 years prior to the events of the game

It is likely (since it's in R8 and the dimensions are a bit funky) the same woman you can hear in the ALT R6D4 fog dimension. The details of the situation is a little hard to pin-point but it's likely she is pregnant and contracted NAM-V, then is suffering delusions because of it.

There is another log you can find with her that gives a "conclusion" to her story, but no spoilers on what or where

So where artifacts ever explained at all anywhere and I missed it or?

I'm assuming they're just part of the collectors collection and have been scattered around hence why the warden would want them as a misc objective but idk if this is ever stated anywhere

warped bloom
#

There was some log about it

thin surge
honest summit
#

some of them mention the weight and density, and converting it into Cubic meters it was too big for the ones we find

#

my best guess is that Warden is interested in them and just gives out boosters that are still in the KDS stock

thin surge
# honest summit some of them mention the weight and density, and converting it into Cubic meters...

Which ones if I can ask? At least for OG R6BX, SXN-AA7-IOP mentions that they found artifacts and that "It was clear by their geometry and form that the artifacts were also constructed and not by natural process" as well as took core samples that were tested both in and out of Garganta later on. Both logs have no description other than that about the artifacts they found, and the ALT dimension is even less descriptive, only having Howard Stokes analysis that doesnt give us much at all.

I'm not counting you out or saying you're wrong if I overlooked one while checking quick, but I still think it's possible SMC uncovered several Warden Artifacts in that instance.

Also to clarify, I'm not dead-set on defending that they found artifacts like we find in game at that point, I think it's just a possibility with what we do and don't know.

honest summit
#

not the lore log, but the ambient ones

#

some of them are like reports on tests conducted on the artifacts

#

just lemme finish my 5D1 run and i will make a screenshot

copper pine
honest summit
#

with this info it should be around half a cubic meter big

#

of course its not the only one, there is a possibility that its just the one they have handpicked for the tests because it was that big

but all other similar logs are in the same ballpark

Deep Reach = the one that reached The Inner?

Deep Reach is the excavation to reach the inner through the hollow tubes though right? The log discusses a different pocket that Gianna Hilton's team found when digging before the founding of Insight and the switch to getting to the inner over iridium mining.

it does also describe Cretisium as a reflective metal, does sound more like the stuff inside the matterwave and not the seethrough artifacts we collect

# honest summit i mean, thats where they have fond the artifacts yes <:Starege:94248793476498227...

Some, not all of them. The MWP and data cubes (blocks) were labeled as artifacts as well upon discovery and research.

I think without further info on specific area names and labeling of artifact numbers, it's hard to tell either way.

I'm still inclined to believe it's potentially warden artifacts based on the description of using a "jaw crusher" in their lab. If it is similar to actual ones, the artifact described in that log would not fit in the crusher itself.

If there is a open terminal log describing an artifact from L18-AT06, that woukd answer it

Hello everyone and welcome to the GTFO Lore channel. This is a SERIOUS channel to discuss about the lore of the game. Serious speculation on what you think is going on, or when the game is released what is actually going on. Please do not use this to troll, meme, shit post or similar. Thanks.

pliant quail
#

Since this will probably come up, my hypothesis on people wondering why the enemies eject "potatoes" out of their corpses is they are most likely parasites that cause the human host to mutate into whatever the creatures are.

tall anchor
#

The fact that there isn’t a “custody” or a “you die” until everyone dies would make sense then if their goal is to spread the virus, meaning they wouldn’t want to immediately kill the prisoners as they go down into the complex.

pliant quail
#

Yeah thats sound plausible. Another nod to Aliens if it's true.

#

Xenomorphs like to incapacitate victims for impregnation so the creatures probably do the same.

spare vapor
#

Pretty sure the potatoes are just placeholders for gibs.

haughty socket
#

I'm not quite sure, they do constantly spew out from the same location for a short duration

#

Like a comical blood effect or a bad physx implementation

#

Also the lack of a 'custody' might be because when you are downed, you actually are just dying right there

#

it'd also deal with "why don't the people just revive themselves"

glossy cargo
#

The complex doesn't seem to just a mining operation for minerals; In several screenshots we can see sophisticated laboratory equipment that contain organisms, along with the fact that a known objective in this game is to reacquire hydrostasis units (which I presume freezes biological material in water). My theory at the moment is that the entire reason the complex exists deep inside Chicxulub Crater is to find and extract some aspect of these creatures. It would work with work with the fact that this complex has high security, with the doors, bio-scans and ammunition boxes, plus the fact that another known player objective is to reacquire security data.

Something else I found interesting was what Simon had to say in his last answer in this reply: https://discordapp.com/channels/408196129470152705/557204214833610753/566199882331848704

In it he talks about how people left things behind as a result of an invasion, presumably the monsters. The only major issue here is that it's possible that the monsters came from outside the complex, although I doubt it. He also talks about how something in the GTFO universe has shaped the outside world; so from this we can assume, again, that whatever happened in this universe has had a noticeable impact to the world. At the very least we know that people use to live here and that there was some kind of invasion.

There are this mysterious entity know has ''the Warden'' and Simon keep referring them as ''them''. Soo the Warden is not a single person, but a group.

Could be using them as a gender neutral pronoun. Doesn't know if they are a he or a she, so uses they/them.

#

placid kiln
#

I think the idea of a research site is very likely. Considering the scientific importance of the location that'd make more sense than a mining operation. Simon's also said that there will be a lot more high-tech environments deeper in the complex that we haven't seen yet.

As for the monsters, my theory is that they evolved from some kind of alien organism that came to earth with the asteroid. Either that or something like an egg. Of course, the Chicxulub theory isn't 100% confirmed, so I might be wrong on that.

glossy cargo
#

While looking through some GTFO screenshots I found the words "SANTONIAN -- Mining Industry" on the side of a locker. With a little bit of research I was able to find out that Santonian is a geological timescale term referring to a time at the end of the of the Cretaceous period, which is also around the time an astroid impacted earth and caused a extinction level event that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Don't know what to think about this, definitely confirms the idea that the complex could be located in the Chicxulub Crater, as it was the location where the the extinction level event astroid impacted earth at.

brazen path
#

Wonder which entity started the exploration and experimentation?

#

A multinational effort?

#

The US?

#

Private venture?

#

(e.g. megacorp)

#

or like Xcom organization?

placid kiln
#

Good find @glossy cargo !

pliant quail
#

My guess is started out as a scientific venture to study the crater and they probably hired Santonian as an outsourced contracted mining company to do the digging and they discovered the life forms and then science facilities were built to study them and then hell broke loose.

glossy cargo
#

Well, they definitely have private corporations helping them out. On many screenshots I found the names of different companies (at least I assume) on different crates and boxes, along with the fact that these prisoners are being forced down into the complex -- They have no choice. While it could be something around a shady government op I assume it'll be more privatized. Although it is entirely possible that it could be an AI or something like that. There just isn't enough information for that yet.

brazen path
#

yeah that was great observation

glossy cargo
#

Thanks Runar, i'll post that screenshot in media for you guys to verify.

pliant quail
#

Also the game takes place in Mexico.

placid kiln
#

It's possible that the aliens/monsters managed to break out of the complex, and that the reason the prisoners are sent into it is to somehow stop that.

pliant quail
#

I doubt it because it's made clear you're sent in to retrieve whatever is deemed valuable to the Warden.

glossy cargo
#

I also found that the word "GROHL" (at least I believe so) are on a container and a sledge hammer. Perhaps there are multiple organizations working together to achieve/acquire something? It appears that they've put a lot of work into the complex.

On the subject of the potatoes that spew out of the monster when they're damaged, I was able to find earlier concept art in a video that depicts theses monsters shooting out these potato things. This leads me to believe that these potatoes aren't place holders, at least not for blood. It's entirely plausible that these potato looking things are the final product, as they closely match the concept art. Now, the reason i'm saying this is because of the fact that in the concept art, which is drawn on paper also has these potato looking things in it. I could understand a place holder for blood in a 3D, realistic game but paper? It just wouldn't make sense. Anyways, that's just my take on the matter.

Also, here is the logo and name of that Santonian mining corporation I was talking about earlier:

While watching gameplay footage I saw the logo everywhere; barrels, doors, signs and supply boxes.

The potatoes were never placeholders to me.

#

Not sure why everyone thinks that way.

#

If it was orbs with no textures, sure, but their design seemed deliberate. If they wanted to just do simple guts that probably would of been simpler than going through the hassle of designing these things to be used merely as a placeholder.

They could very well be a parasite or something of the sort. Maybe the body produces them as a side effect of being mutated.

In one of the interviews Simon talks specifically about how the tunnels in the complex are organic. Now i'm not too sure what could do that in a realistic sense; lava tubes or a cave system perhaps? If not, I was thinking that they could have been created by the monsters shown or that they were originally there in the astroid.

Link: https://youtu.be/awvGKlfflAQ?t=597

Something else I found quite interesting in the video is how Simon refers to The Warden; several times he talks about your captors, meaning plural. So at the very least we can assume that the entity(s) forcing you into the complex are more than two. Just another interesting piece.

@tranquil dome I don't believe that creature has been shown in any other video, and I doubt that it's actually in the game yet but I assume it's a special monster or mini-boss kind of deal. The regular tentacle grabber things in GTFO have a short distance than what was shown with that special one at the end, plus, they don't have the webbed features so it's definitely different than the others.

Look mate I'm sorry but you can't prove it. all we're doin here is speculating
That was to pug lol xD

#

yet now that I think about it

#

This lad right here

#

he looks like a bigger.. more mutated version than the grunts are, if the grunts as we know them got tentacles inside of them, this one could have a bigger more "lethal" one, being the finisher in the trailer

placid kiln
#

If I recall correctly, the heavies will be able to pick up players and run away with them. I doubt they'll have any form of tentacle attack, though.

tranquil dome
#

Whoa thats... something new

#

could they maybe pic them up with their tentacle? 😄

placid kiln
#

Well, we don't know for sure haha. As for the tentacles, they are different enemies. The one in the first picture is (possibly) refered to as snatchers in game, while the second one is just an attack from the normal monsters.

#

Keep in mind that there are many variations for the basic grunts

tranquil dome
#

Yeah and thats what I'm thinking about when I'm talkin about the big lads

#

fat bois = Everything from Basic grunts but more bigger and deadlier

placid kiln
#

Also, considering the character in the TGA trailer says "What the fuck is that." when the tentacle/snatcher approaches, I'd guess it's quite a rare enemy to encounter.

tranquil dome
#

Yeah!

#

Speaking of that one, I just catched something, check this out

#

The textures and general form is different

placid kiln
#

Yep!

tranquil dome
#

Guess we got that one settled

#

speaking of a new topic.. and monsters

#

Devs said that there wont be "boss fights" but a combination of enemies in specific environments

#

Since we're underground we don't really have that many... "environments" to chose from.. let me just say a limited supply of those.. and they change dynamically, and that dynamic change (one of many) has already been revealed
https://youtu.be/QxANd2XtcWQ?t=499

Notice how we hear a weird thumping sound.. as soon as the sound stops, the air gets more dense.. more foggy.. and we hear a Siren with a dramatic music coming up
my call on that one is that since we're underground, air has to be fresh, in this scenario the air filters break, the environment changes and a fight is likely to come up because of the siren (noise level)

tell me what you bois think

brazen path
#

air filters break? the personal ones you mean?

tranquil dome
#

Not air filters.. aah I'm missing the word for it

#

general ventilation of the whole complex

empty gust
#

Air ventilation?

#

If the airflow is cutoff something like this is possible to happen

tranquil dome
#

Yeah I'm talkin 'bout that the whole time

#

just those few seconds.. Imagine how much work that would be.. Shaders.. sound.. textures.. Dynamic music

#

Man... Very Impressive!

#

Thats so cool

#

But well kind of a shame i would like to vs a biug bullet sponge That has mechanics and if u don't follow them ur fucked but whatever

#

Wait a minute rewatching the trailers

#

DO the weps not have much recoil?

glossy cargo
#

Some of the weapons in GTFO are created from repurposed mining equipment

feral walrus
#

so
dead space?

blazing eagle
#

I don’t think the game takes place in space

#

But I guess

feral walrus
#

all stories take place in space after all
since planets are in space, amirite lads?

#

and I'd guess it be more akin to Dead Space 3, in that case

blazing eagle
#

Yea

west snow
#

a lot of the information is about GTFO is what goes on inside of the complex but i think what is happening in the wold outside is more interesting

formal thunder
#

There were hints about the outside world, the possibility that it's been overrun as well. Evo talked about this.. just scroll up. A lot.

pliant quail
#

I don't think it's overrun, to me it doesn't make sense because you're sent in to retrieve things of high monetary value.

#

If the world was overrun and these things were important for survival it doesn't make sense to send in prisoners with little to no training to get them if stakes were high.

#

Also the TGS trailer says sending people in the complex happens every night without fail, so it's just a meat grinder for the Warden to see who can get the goods.

west snow
#

So the complex is some kind of prison colony or like detention center

pliant quail
#

It's a mining/research facility.

#

But I believe the entrance to the complex from the surface houses a prison.

#

Since they send prisoners in groups of four through a free-falling transportation vehicle.

west snow
#

Form the way it was described it seemed that the main character where being forced to enter the complex

pliant quail
#

Correct, they're sent in against their will.

west snow
#

Hmm

#

So the warden is only like a site manager of the mining company

#

Or maybe a government agent getting criminals to do the work

pliant quail
#

Most likely a group of individuals.

west snow
#

These individuals would have some previous tie to the complex and considerable power to get people to send Down

#

So the logical choices are the original owner of the mine or some kind of external organization

pliant quail
#

Yeah most likely.

west snow
#

And they would have other people on stand by Incase prisoners die

pliant quail
#

Pretty much yeah.

#

It's sorta implied in the first trailer. Every night they send prisoners down and it's usually different people everytime.

#

lore wise anyway

#

gameplay it'll be the same characters lol

west snow
#

There is probably more to the complex than just a mining facility and if that are so internet on sending people in to get stuff there is likely more than just what they are mining

#

Perhaps the enemy weren’t just there but where manufactured

#

That might say something about the world outside

pliant quail
#

Yeah there's definitely more to it.

#

It take's place around the Chicxulub crater which is where an asteroid struck, so my guess is the asteroid housed some sort of organism and the miners found it by accident.

#

and got became infected, then scientists were brought in to experiment which is why there's science and research facilities deep underground.

west snow
#

Form gameplay there where rooms that looked like labs

#

But I guess we will have to play the game to figure out what the connection are

#

It’s seems kinda strange that a mine would have so many big locked blast doors

pliant quail
#

Probably keep the creatures from reaching the surface or escaping and keeping the place a secret.

west snow
#

Yeah

#

Thinking about it it probably wouldn’t be an infectious entity because we had the teaser image that show the sleeper eggs

pliant quail
#

Most likely something we haven't seen before,.

#

We've only seen like 3 different types of enemies in gameplay.

#

And the creatures have two arms and legs so they use to be human.

#

The lack of corpses shown in screenshot seem to indicate that.

west snow
#

Yeah i guess your right

#

Those eggs aren’t just a pointless detail maybe those are what was being mined for

#

And the scientists where there before the miners

pliant quail
#

My guess is miners were there first and then scientists.

west snow
#

This does seem very dead space like

#

I’d like to think that gtfo is in like a connect universe with other overkill games

pliant quail
#

Definitely no connection.

west snow
#

Big rip

did the developers confirm that the voice over in the trailer was one of the playable characters?

It is. The narrator's voice is Dauda.

The game will be taken place underground.

Let's stick to GTFO Lore... yay i'm no better XD

sudden gorge
#

Can I get some lore for why the doors in this game can be broken so easily by a few enemies?

winter plume
#

Because

#

Buff monsters

#

They are so buff they're not even showing it off

sudden gorge
#

Cool, but you’d think the Devs would want there to be more fear ashen you see a door breaking

winter plume
#

B u f f m o n s t e r s

#

But in reality, I think it would keep the game more fun

sudden gorge
#

Like, 3-5 guys it’s alright, but 10-20 “OH NO!

#

Interesting

#

I was thinking more from the psychological horror side

winter plume
#

Because if you shut off a door, you're gonna have to walk on for the actual stealth

cerulean forum
#

@sudden gorge I would guess cus they strong as fuck but when it comes to their defences they are lacking

sudden gorge
#

Stealth would be key, but also a makeshift “containment” would be cool

cerulean forum
#

Well I like the idea that they break the doors slower to make it a bit more realistic cus they would be tough but yea it could reduce the catching off guard idea thatthey have

sudden gorge
#

What should catch you off guard is the fear of the unknown. Make a loud noise, hear a screech off in the distance and see a copious amount doing everything to get to you

#

In situations like that, doors ideally COULDNT do much to holds em back

toxic sand
#

Well if the door isn't super reinforced, a horde of monster could break through easily. Considering that the monster look stronger than zombie.

*For the third myth, Adam and Jamie head out to a barn with 150 zombies in tow to see if the combined force of a horde would be held back by a barred door.
View photos

Eh, not so much. The first two times they try it, the zombies (clad in polyethelene corrugated sewer pipes to prevent a squished Savage) easily blow through the door, barely breaking stride. But the third time, Jamie reinforces the hell out of the door, screwing in multiple boards and making sure the hinges don't go. And this time they hold. Though there's a lot of creaking and cracking, the door does not break and they're confident that, even if the zombies kept at it, they would never overwhelm the fully prepped barn door which prompts a very characteristic taunt from Jamie.*

#

Also... video game logics. Anything is possible to not impede fun with realism.

winter plume
#

True

pliant quail
#

Looks like some kind of spider/crab creature

#

i can see looks like 4 appendages

#

Maybe they come out of those egg looking things?

The specimen suspended in a liquid reminds me of the the facehugger specimens in Aliens.

@pliant quail it's a facehugger?

pliant quail

Probably something similar to that yeah.

We're talking about the capsule in the screenshot

David made the facehugger out of thr body parts of Elizabeth Shaw

Sam that's alien lore

Looks like a grunt to me tbh

pliant quail

It's clearly not humanoid.

#

Has multiple legs too

#

and the tank looks too small to fit a human in it

tranquil dome

Well then

#

There’s one thing we know

#

Its hostile

brazen path
#

It's the work of the rogue Complex AI

#

Who decided one day to download itself from limiting silicon to a hive mind wetware

#

Would make a nice backstory lol

tranquil dome
#

Wait

#

The complex itself

#

Its biological

#

Right?

pliant quail
#

what do you mean biological?

tranquil dome
#

Like

#

Meat walls

pliant quail
#

No

tranquil dome
#

A part of it though

#

Overgrown maybe

pliant quail
#

As far as I know there's no indication of it.

#

unless we see some sort of hive stage late game.

tranquil dome
#

the brain

pliant quail
#

which I wouldn't be surprised since aliens is a huge inspiration for this game

tranquil dome
#

Yeah true

toxic sand
#

Maybe the monster we face soo far in GTFO are merely reject of the true monster (Like the alien). Instead of leaving a dead body with chest open. The body animate via whatever reason. Yet the true monster still hide deeper into the complex.

#

Something 10cc will surely not spoil and let the player figure out.

brazen path
#

could be "early phase" of the infection like the villagers in RE4 with plagas

the late phase had heads and limbs completely replaced with plaga appendages
