nice
tbh itâs really cool when games studios make actual websites for their ingame companies, like the Fednet and GenSec ones in payday
inspect element noises
so apparently the santonian age is a part of the late Cretaceous, and had a shit ton of ammonites.
Approx 17 million years before the chixiclub crater was made
this is the fossil that marks the end of the santonian age
not sure if it will have any relevance to the story, but itâs still cool
Hereâs a good link about the period for those interested
Itâs named after the city of Saintes in western France
@weak rampart did you know the favicon of this webpage isn't working?

or
it's just the web designer who got fired
and by fired they mean getting thrown in a place filled with unfriendly creatures
Ok so we got the character who will has +50 hacking efficiency ingame

@tall anchor oh so it's confirmed to be eggs....
the most recent screenshot in #gtfo-media looks like cut stone with some kind of symbols carved into it. Gives me cod zombies origins vibe
maybe the monsters were buried by some ancient civilization for a few millennia and then whoever made the complex dug them back up
most likely
@lilac island
same thing we saw with the site
itâs just not got the yellow in game
You are a prisoner and the warden a collective of minds also reffered to as an entity
have sent various prisoners into this broken down old as fuck facility and now its our turn to go in there collect valuable resources so they can maybe use what turned/created all those mother fuckers as a biological weapon or collect valuable resources that are hidden in there
To be sold on the black market or used for their own gain etc
Or even their objective is to clear the whole place out so they can collenize/change the entire complex into their own facility
although all this Information about what they want/what they are doing is speculation
Ahh
Is there any ACTUAL lore to read up on?
I see snippets here and there, but would love to see more
There will be lore, but the devs are keeping it pretty well under wraps
Gotcha, I'm bored atm and could of used some reading material
I can recommend you a web series if youâd like
Yeah. Itâs about superheroes and villains but itâs very serious and grim
Wait, aren't you in the LYTN discord too?
Oh nvm. Ty, btw
Maybe the warden is the entity from dead by Day light that meaning nea is the supreme one
mind blown
and every survivor is the entity
=warden
it all makes sense
and the killers are actually the prisoners cus they are weaker then the survivors
Thereâs no written down lore at the moment
I should get around to making forum/reddit posts about stuff here though
Does k-pop exist in GTFO universe?
@tall anchor there is but no ones pinning it
@woven dome indubitably.
Korean-pop?
kanadian
Kamerica
Then I hope thrash metal coud exist(((
Please use appropriate chat. Keep this channel for GTFO lore find and theory. The kpop thing belong to #general
So where do i get caught with the lore for this game?
Pretty much everything that currently exists is either here on the discord, or remains trapped in the Minds of our devs.
i quests this enemy's have some infected worm virus in side of them, they look human but not any more so, my theory is we are going to get some thing so this infected worm virus can't go to the surface. that my theory...
@sand pawn A very good theory but maybe virus is a alien like thing from the eggs or a cocoon used to transform humans
I second that theory
Remember prometheus? Accidently creating killer aliens? Same premise here, perhaps anyways..
Ehh
@lilac island it makes me think they were already doing shady experimintation
cus the facility is in the middle of bum fuck no where
@cerulean forum its in the crater of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs
tf its a thing?
The complex is located there
what is it just like a hole in the ground?
Well its a mining and science facility
ah
Do we figure out a bit of the lore while grabbing supplies for the warden
I'm very curious about the story behind the Complex and why there are all these The Thing-like monsters in it.
I seriously can't help but to imagine that they found something deep underground that's not unlike that alien organism and it got loose.
i think the hole on the ground dose have some ancient lore in it , like the theory i say, this scientist find some thing in it but... it hard to know. i watch the trailer again and again and the boss one and all other look like human, maybe the deep under ground is a area 51, it may be true the some alien type have virus in them to effect the human body, or they find a artefact.
there is so much theory i have but... that all i can say guys, wish one do you pick? đ edit, sorry of my english
i maybe pick the alien type have virus
who knows đ¤
@tall anchor We on't know shit about the game XD we can only speculate
yeah, but straight up "big smoke will be in the game" isn't really what I'm looking for
Fair
You're reffering to the GPS co-ordinates that place this in the Chixiculb Crater, which it's asteroid supposedly what ended the dinosaurs?
Yes
We have ... The Warden? Not much is know, but its not 1 person alone. Sure as hell. Devs keep referring it "them"
A mining company is involved. Delve too deep
The Santonian Investments which supposedly was made by Bishop?
A prisoner involved?
Let me double check, but I think Bishop was involved
inspect element noises coming up
From the code in http://santonianindustries.com/
Homepage of SANTONIAN Industries, strategic investors group.
name="author" content="F. Bishop"
@toxic sand
It wasn't hard to find 
First time I see it
and you call yourself a community member smdh
F
how was the site linked?
Ludvig shared it.
that Ludvig guy, real piece of work that one
Who that? đ¤
đ
hmm there is nothing more at that web address. Maybe in the future things will be added but there are no hidden files links etc, just the author name F. Bishop as you said
Ye, I was surprised too about the "contact" tab actually having a email lmaooo
Did you get a response?
Nope
Do you think the email is automated so if it receives a keyword, it might respond?
copies every word from the dictionary and posts it in email
The keyword is potato
We could try that @slender iris
what's this about sounds interesting
So theres a web page from this mining corp.
And theres only one button saying âcontactâ connected with an Email adress
@west snow
oh so that's what that page source belongs too
maybe there is a key word or phrase that's needed to get a response?
I was curious what Santonian meant and this is what i found:
The Santonian is an age in the geologic timescale or a chronostratigraphic stage. It is a subdivision of the Late Cretaceous epoch or Upper Cretaceous series. It spans the time between 86.3 Âą 0.7 mya (million years ago) and 83.6 Âą 0.7 mya. The Santonian is preceded by the Coniacian and is followed by the Campanian.[2]
maybe that's relevant to something?
yeah
I've been over this before, but here we go
The GTFO Complex is supposedly set under the Chixiculb crater in Mexico, and the crater was made by an asteroid that supposedly ended the dinosaurs.
So, it would make sense for the depth of where the complex is, to be somehow related to the Santonian era.
Or, maybe there's something in the Santonian age that is important for The Complex to be running off of, or make it economically viable for it to be created.
Side note, we kinda need a pin of Slewey's original comment about it being under the crater, but it doesn't super-ly matter.
does the logo actually appear in the game?
do you have the image ?
was there any update on that email address did they ever get a response
dam
i ran translation on the page and something showed up at the top. there where no words I could see but the page source said something was translated up there. so i'm thinking the text might be the same colure as the logo image or it gave me a false positive
there is a container
@west snow I don't think there is any text up there. Otherwise there would be a paragraph tag or something that we could see in the dev console. That container is standard with the layout they are using from a github repo called The Big Picture. Go on the github repo and look at their example page.
yeah I realised that now oops
Actually they do have a <p> tag it is just empty lol
I started playing around with the url and see if I can land anywhere
yeah i was thinking maybe there is a broken link to the index page or an external source ?
(https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/master/src/css/main.css) like this, it is listed as a source be when i try and open it the page doesn't exist
I wonder if we can get into the images address
that would be routed through the index page
I've found a few but i've been getting a lot of 401's
ugh rip Firefox
damn thing wonât load
oof
The only real juicy stuff is in the <head>
yeah did we find out who F.Bishop is
Yeah
Itâs one of the prisioners
He speaks in the Intro I think?
could be someone else though
but yes, we do
When do we get a .fandom page or something
Do I have to hover my mouse over every gat-dayum pixel
xd
lol the page is built using open source code form git hub
nice
I made my own easter egg
this is my canon now
Big spooky monsters
Best
xd
I am going to be honest I don't think anything else is there yet
yeah
there's still stuff to write about
how did w find this site in the first place
Ludvig, one of the developers linked it and @'d me
It's the only thing on the site 
well maybe not maybe the rest of it is not implemented yet
i'm betting there will be more use of it when the game launces like you send codes or something or a key phrase that gives you more clues or another link
i mean it a pretty stock standard arg thing
sad
I fucking hated MUDUTU
and I'm not going to back down from it
but ok
fine
I'll accept it
Let's just give it some time here folks
has anyone tried emailing the contact link yet?
yes
Maybe we should send emails that are serious inquiries about the investment group lol
"I have this great startup idea"
I've got one half-drafted
yeah that might work
what about the coordinates of the crater?
or you could pose as an investor wanting to buy share of the company
Setting likely takes place in Chicxulub, YucatĂĄn in Mexico.

Put them together, and you are led to Chicxulub (demon tick)
The name Chicxulub is Yucatec Maya language, where châik means "flea" or "tick", and xulubâ means "devil, demon, or horns"
From there we theorize the underground aspect of the game connects to the nearby Chicxulub Crater drilling site

ree dammit slewey
oof
are there any creators or mining going on in that area
never mind i just read the reedit post
I mean it is an Interesting/important part of the game
so it makes sense
but really the original one should have been pinned
Wait, the pin was removed, I saw it
Still pinned for me
Uhh, okay then...
I just edited it a bit to make more sense to someone reading pins
I didn't removed anything.
I just remembered someone here asked for a Slewey Reddit post Pin
And that info is kinda nice to look at.
Oh, maybe when you edited it, it dissapeared for a second
Ok, I guess thats it. Srry
It's just the mexico location thing that was pinned pug
yeah
Yeah I saw that, I checked the pinned messages, and it just dissapeared the moment Mirrors editet the message, now it's back there, I was just a bit confused, I thought I witnessed a pin getting removed in real time. Now, we got that figured it, let's keep the channel for lore chat.
a good route to take for possible dlc is other dig sites around the world
with new infrastructure, enemies, etc
That would be interesting
but I donât think theyâll really shift from âthe complexâ setting too much
who knows, we're still very far away from any possible dlc
I really donât think that other areas will be included
yeah same here
im fine with that too, as long as there is variation with depth levels
This is kinda more #gtfo-chat material
let me harp on about the santonian period goshdarn it
So about the origin of the monsters...
Yeah?
I've got a headcannon that they came from something in the asteroid that made the Chixiculb Crater, probably wrong though, seems too obvious.
I recently watched an anime called "Made in Abyss" and was quite pleased with its similarities to that of GTFO. (I don't want to spoil the story, so please don't discuss spoilers). In the anime, we are first introduced to the concept of a "curse of the abyss" which is some sort of inexplicable force that hurts people trying to ascend from the abyss. I was thinking, what if there is something in the complex of GTFO that is producing a sort of "force" that is responsible for mutating the people who once lived/worked in the complex?
Well, we have some evidence that one of the prisoners owned the main company down there.
There's also the point of "why aren't the main protagonists/prisoners infected yet"
So, really, it can't be a force unless it's some sort of slow acting stuff.
Some evidence that would turn this upside down would be if we could see Mr. Bishop's office (the prisoner who owned the company/website thing)
Although, I'm not sure, the obvious choice would be to go for a virus type thing.
There's also infrastructure based on containing these alien things, so IMO, something went wrong, althought that's a little cliche.
lol, so it's either some kind of T-virus or some kind of marker responsible for the monsters.
Maybe, but let me grab those screenshots that show the infrastructure
Here's two for now, I do need to fill up my folder with the video stuff.
Oh, how interesting. Yes, it definitely looks like some experimentation was going on in the complex before hand.
Yeah, hence the thoughts about it either being a virus that one of the scientists got or one of the containers burst.
Or there's the possibility of an alien parasite that the scientist tried to utilize as a "symbiote" of sorts.
I'm actually leaning towards the alien parasite at this point, considering the fact that the devs have described the "potato blood" as being parasitic eggs.
Well, I don't think that they've directly said eggs apart from once in that tweet that I found.
I remember them saying something like "eww, they're some sort of parasitic eggs!"
Oh yeah, I forgot about that
There's also a tweet that goes along the lines of "they're eggs"
yeet
omelette time
Please let them be taters'
Like the Rick and Morty episode where everything on the planet is corn on the cob, this virus should turn your molecular makeup into potato
Please #gtfo-chat or ##general Thanks.
oh no; not #gene
make vodka
What do you mean?
The eggs?
I mean, there's been no news for months
Keep this channel lore only
Hence why use the other channel
could there be clues and Easter eggs hidden in the roadmaps web page; any mods want to comment?
I mean, there isn't
Apart from the fact that Ulf singularly owns the GTFO IP, no
oh; and good luck on getting a mod to comment
Mods don't know anything more than users do, but we're also under NDA
I've read it
There's nothing crazy iirc
it's literally a roadmap page
I'll have a read later
what about the page source ?
ah right
hold up why do mods have to sign a NDA if you know as much as us........ suspicious
It's because they could be getting extra screenshots from the developers.
Let's say Slewey PM'd me a screenshot (he didn't)
If I go and leak that, and it makes gtfo lose sales
it's technically his fault for leaking something he shouldn't have, and could cause issues for the developer team
at least, that's what I've read into it
We're under NDA as some aspects we may learn sooner than you guys, such as when a newsletter might go out, when the alpha will drop so we can prepare for activity, etc (we don't know alpha date, i promise you and that's not the nda talking) but things like that
wouldn't expect anyone to have an alpha date i don't even think the devs have that knowledge
I would expect that they know a week that they're planning on
If they didn't, that would be a huge yikes
the impression i got is that is more of a "its done when we finish it however long that takes"
I mean, that's fair
But they have to have plans and stuff, I don't think that you can really release a game with no plan at all
At the least, they've got a general outline
we're probably in #general or #gtfo-chat territory at this point đ
true
message to the contact link on Santonian industry's
hello I would like to enquire as the the current mining venture you are engaged in and the lack of information about the mines operations and purpose available. this lack of communication has raised concerns about the mine and the potential risk of damage to the natural ecosystem in the surrounding environment. I would like to ask if you would be willing to give and official statement answering the many questions this has raised.
kind regards Cirrus
tried sending key words now lets try some professional emails
Mhmm?
What are you talking about?
I'm so confused
Did you write that email to them or something? Are you RPing? Let's actually move this to #general
Iâm trying everything I can think of to get a response from this email it is the company that owns the facility in gtfo it had its logo on machinery and stuff
And yes I dis write that email and several others
Do you guys think its more likely its some sort virus/parasite that's the reason for these mutants in the facility in GTFO, hence why the protagonists are wearing gasmasks?
Could be. But wearing a gaz mask could also mean a security measure for unknown environment. We know there zone with poisonnous air / lack of O2.
We are of no use to the warden dead, even if we are expendable.
Yeah, that makes sense too.
At the same time though, I'd be more comfortable going around in a full on hazmat suit, preferably one that's armored, if the area is contaminated with who knows what else along with the poisonous air and such.
My theory is that there was something underground that they wanted to extract and experience with, however, this thing was more than likely something that they did not conteminate properly (In my theory probably a unknown virus that is not from Earth), or someone made an oopsie that later caused a domino effect, infecting all around them, which later made the underground complex a living hell. But I also really like the theory of just hidden experiments going incredibly wrong like that tends to happen đ I can't wait for the game to come out and see what exactly is going on tbh
That does sound very likely yeah.
Wouldn't be surprised if it is as a lot of people suspect that it is something not from this planet, which makes it even more like The Thing, minus the shapeshifting alien and paranoia of course.
infectious hivemind 100%
And The Warden try to do a cover up story using prisonner to do is dirty work.
And w
When we are done, they just get "rid" of us.
Maybe its a story twist where one of the prisonner isnt actually a
Prisonner
With bishop supposedly tie with santorian mining group. If that info is true and accurate
Are the characters listed yet
I mean, I would not be surprised if Bishop was someone who was once someone but then got backstabbed because he "climbed the ladder" way too fast or something similar
And no better way then to send him to do dirty work that can result in his death easily
Workplace casualty đ
As my teacher would say
@unique spoke Look at the story section of Runars post (https://steamcommunity.com/app/493520/discussions/0/1711816348630648927/)
Thx friend
@slender iris did you ever find the direct address for the logo in the Santonian site?
what do you mean? @tall anchor 
i just used what you gave me and added that as the emoji
itâs still alyoncaraâs findings technically

Goodnight.
thinking about the atmosphere of GTFO remember the old film "Gunhed" 1989
Haha, wow, I gotta check that film out!
@acoustic harbor how do you like the soundtrack from this movie? i really liked japanese drumsđ
Sorry, I haven't seen the movie yet. I don't even know how to get a hold of it.
Please do not talk piracy or illegal activity on a verified server, we are bound by Discord TnS and must abide by them.
Also keep this channel GTFO-Lore related. Thanks đ
How about this Will there be indepth lore
In game
Like easter eggs etc
slowly leaking information about what this facility is about/what happened
Well when we learn more about the game we sure will share more idea here!
LOL
yeah
?
oh you got rid of my msg rude but ok
@cerulean forum EGGS LOL
what if the game is taking so long to come out because they want to skip alpha and go straight to early access đ¤
plot twist
so given that Simon in the Dev documentary says âwho are the wardenâ
and it being obviously scripted to a large extent
the warden is no one man
Governmental entity?
Could be a misspoken English word as well
Thatâs true
He very well could mean who is the warden
but Iâd assume theyâd really script out this
my instincts are to agree with you
but it doesnât quite seem right
especially given the singular references to âthe entity that is the wardenâ
A.I
hmm
But then, why not "what is the warden"
but yeah, half of my argument is âhow well did the scriptâ
and Iâd assume they did a good job
so idk
Further proof that the Santonian Industries are important
(On door)
thereâs also this sketchy looking one
cause look at the body
and like, why else would they need these test tube things unless they were obviously doing crazy stuffs down there
that's where they make more @weak rampart's đ
the ludvig-o-matic 9001
Warden is either ai or some alien intelligence through ai imo
Warden is actually just Ludvig prime
We can neither confirm or deny GTFO is secretly a cloning Ludvig project.
thatâs why weâve got more than one test tube
see look
weâve got the ludbadâs in here
the hecking tubes tho
or just subway ticket boothsđ
yeah, if you zoom in,
you can clearly see thats me in the tubes
yeah
I dont need sleep I need answers
So can we post our guesses for what GTFO stands for here, or should we discuss that in gtfo-chat?
Both
Here is fine since it relates to lore.
I bet the beasts are humans themselves owo
Yeah tbh my headcannon is that they're some sort of virus
Like, i've got some evidence to back up my claims
I just can't remember where
They could be like the little crawlers from âUntil Dawnâ
Itâs said in the game if you get to the book part, possibly after or before deciding whether to kill someone that they themselves are humans without internal organs
So, I was thinking, since GTFO predominantly takes place underground, each of the playable characters could be considered a "Geologic Tactical Force Operative." Lol, just had to get that out there. đ
I mean theyâre all non military
Yet, they function pretty much as a military unit
I was thinking this mainly because all they seem to do is shoot to kill and grab stuff to go.
None of them are actually repairing mechanisms or doing anything technical beyond basic military stuff.
I think there will be evidence of the characters not having similar training to military characters
but yeah, most definitely not a task force and theyâre untrained for this stuff
How well do you have to be trained to be a task force?
Especially if you're a prisoner?
The prisoners are essentially expendable assets thrown into the Complex to recover valuable items.
But can they be considered a task force of some kind?
Since they're carrying out a "task."
And they are using force to do it?
Task force is generally a group of highly trained experts
The prisoners are neither
point being that Bishop was either a web designer or a ceo
So, they are severely untrained Geologic Task Force Operatives.
I mean you can assume that's what you think GTFO stands for.
That's just speculation.
ooooooo
But we know they're not highly trained.
I didnât pick up on that
They have no military background.
yeah, what slewey said
Quote from Simon being something along the lines of ânon militaryâ
and how theyâre trying to see how this relationship pans out given that theyâre all forced to do this stuff
Also lore wise the reason you start out with a limited arsenal is you need to prove yourself to the Warden you can survive and retrieve the artifacts.
oh nice
Since people routinely get killed
Do you know a source for that point?
They're not going to spend money and resources on prisoners who are going to be killed on their first expedition.
Simon said that.
I can't get the exact quote but you can ask him.
like where
He can verify it.
So, you start off as a rookie, untrained Geologic Task Force Operative and have to prove yourself to the Warden to rise up in the ranks and receive better training/gear.
Basically.
Gameplay wise you gather resources to expand your items and weapons. But the lore is there to explain why you start out with basic stuff.
For the sake of explanation i guess
We all have to start somewhere...
I think the game (alpha) is either going to come out this week or next week because they are posting so much to get people to look at their game
Geological Task Force Operative: that sounds COOL, also really possible for the lore.
but they arenât a task force and most definitely not spec ops
oh ok
Yeah, theyâre not military at all
theyâve got no background in this stuff: see one of the prisoners might have been a web developer/ceo of whatever the hell the complex was built for
yeah i read something like that.
People also get routinely killed down in the complex
they are expendables, i know that.
but the team we play, seems the most capable of all them.
I think theyâve been at it the longest lore wise, but then again, I donât think an expedition has been completed by any non-developer, so itâs more of a specific character rather than a large group
i just want to know the origin of the creatures. the place, having its location at the meteor site, maybe was first used as a mining place, then the "bacteria" was discovered, and after that, a laboratory took place later. at least is my suggestion. after that something went really bad.
also, it could have been unleashed on purpose.
Donât forget that the creatures arenât alien, and are hinted to be humans/people affected by the virus
see the beginning of the trailer/name release thing to hear something about how the faces scare the main narrarator
Trailer narrative transcription:
âIt comes every night without failâ
âThere are different people every timeâ
âBut I recognize them somehowâ
âTheyâre screaming at me I donât hear them but I know they are screamingâ
âSuch hate, and angerâ
âI donât know what I have done to themâ
âThey want me to feel what they feelâ
âThen I wake up and Iâm not sweating or screaming, Iâm perfectly calm. I just open my eyes and Iâm awake!â
âItâs not a nightmare, itâs just a part of me, who I am.â
I donât fight it, I just, live around itâ
-Dauda, the Nigerian character
Task force makes no sense because its a bunch of prisoners with little training or expertise, task force is the complete opposite of that.
Prisoners are routinely sent in and killed before they complete their missions.
So guys, I really like my Geologic Task Force Operative idea, but I never considered the possibility that GTFO could actually be referring to the biological threat that is responsible for the monsters in-game.
With this in mind, GTFO could actually stand for something like a "Germinating Terra-Forming Organism."
Either that or it could be an acronym for a virtually endless list of possible chemical nomenclatures such as "Glycerol Tetra Formyl Oxide" (that's not a real compound, just an absurd example).
So, I also looked up the definition of a task force and Google says it's "an armed force organized for a special operation" or "a unit specially organized for a task."
Note that it emphasizes "organized" but doesn't specify any "special training."
Sounds perfect for a game that emphasizes cooperation and "organization" between teammates.
well you are alluding to them being âoperativesâ but then again the dictionary definition for that doesnât have special training in it
I mean, just remember that theyâve got no training
Yes, untrained, unskilled Geologic Task Force Operatives.
Also, what do you think of the "Germinating Terra-Forming Organism" hypothesis?
I doubt there is any terraforming involved because they seem to breathe oxygen fine, so there's no point to it.
Oh, so I can take off my gas mask?
And they tolerate the environment fine.
I remember the devs mentioning the possibility of the lack of oxygen, in some areas, as an added environmental hazard. Why would there be areas of the complex with no oxygen? Vacuum chambers? For what purpose? (other than certain chemical analyses of course).
I assume some parts are in a state of disrepair or accidents happened that damaged certain areas.
Considering the complex was overrun by monsters it's safe to assume parts of the facility was damaged in the process.
Ah, life support systems malfunctions, excellent.
Also ainât the facility deep underground? So maybe
breathing might get harder for the player? Idk Iâm not too smart on how the lore works
Technically, the lower in the atmosphere that you are, the easier it is to diffuse oxygen into the membranes of your lungs (due to increased air pressure). However, many professional underground installations require special structures or air pump systems to ensure that fresh air from the surface is constantly flowing throughout their complexes. If any of those systems become compromised, then the subsequent lack of air quality could become an added environmental hazard.
There have also been studies showing that staying deep underground for long periods of time can negatively effect one's health in subtle but noticeable ways.
In GTFO, the ill effects of staying underground for too long become very apparent.
Yeah,understandable
I just know it gets harder to breath due to some news events I learned years ago about miners being trapped and such for periods of time
I wonder if GTFOs lore will tie in with Payday's mysteries
So, we've discussed the Geologic Task Force Operatives and even the possible origins/mechanisms of the monster infestation; but, what about the technology? I know the devs mentioned that the game is "sci-fi" but how far sci-fi? What kind of sci-fi technologies can we expect in relation to the complex itself? Is the Warden responsible for the technology that appears in the complex or is the Warden looking to steal that technology for itself/themselves?
What if the Warden IS the technology?
*Are
All references to the Warden are plural. So what if the Warden ARE the technology?
Doubtful. The Warden are very understandable, from a human perspective. They have human-congruent identities, motivations, behavior.
What if theyâre a governmental organization?
that seems more likely, but that implies oversight from somewhere else - unless they're a 'black' agency. I think it's more probably that the Warden are a private group.
im predicting that the next road map update will be this week or early next week
with possibly the alpah
i play this since April
oh
idk what you talkin đ
đ¤
Iâm just a dum dum and forget to ask about it
I remembered that heâs been playing it for a while though
đ working hard i tell ya
that explains how you knew how long each mission took
Just to set expectations, Matze has only played the game way back when at a convention. Anyone that says they are playing it, playing some form of it like a bug tester, etc is most likely trolling. We don't know how long an expedition will take, only the devs do at this point đ
Alpha 1 is one level
^
What
Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1, Beta 2
You can see it on the roadmap website
They've got some things planned for Alpha 2 already entered on the site.
Watch the Devs pull a pro gamer move on us and do a build for all of the Greek alphabet letters
From Alpha to Omega let's goooo
les go
Maybe they will re release the roadmap again for the alpha but the real alpha comes out spring of next
Year
Wtf u mean
the alpha 1 roadmap is there
then the roadmap alpha 2 s there and beta 1 n 2
Just because there is alpha 2 and beta 1/2 doesnt mean they will happen. Most of them are TBD
What?
Isnât GTFO still TBD
But yes, because of what happened before, the fact itâs a 9 man team, and thereâs 4 parts until early access, itâs pretty much TBD
So to clarify what TB meant, there's still an Alpha and Beta planned it's just that while the roadmap shows there's two Betas in the pipeline it's not guaranteed that will occur.
Meaning if Beta 1 is a big success and fixes most issues, then a second beta MIGHT be skipped and goes straight into Early Access.
^
Thanks for clarification
Or maybe we wonât even need betas
I bet the developers are just preparing the world's biggest prank by skipping everything and just straight releasing EA version
Would be cool
Iâve thought about that
Lol
hello gamers
I will now talk to you about my gamer theory of GTFO's lore
so the staff of this discord server included these emotes

if you look closely, it's as if Ulf lost something and he's looking for it
damn man can't find it over here
let's try searching this way
see
it all makes sense
I know, you might be thinking "who the fuck is this retard
"
but if you look carefully it's hard to see in GTFO
that's why he needs 4 very talented people, to help him find what he's looking for
now you're connecting the dots right 
wtf Rodger
a) lunacinda made one of those emotes
b) d0c/someone flipped the first to make the second emote
that means lunacinda is a final boss of
also
He will sweep the bodies away after we're done so it feels as if nothing happened
Each time we go down, we're brainwashed
yes exactly, he's the one also healing the guys after an expedition
they needed DOCtors right? one of them is secretly D0c
this
This is proof
This is the actual lroe
We are one step ahead of finding the big truth
actually Nanosuit Guy was legit talking about lore and all
so they were talking about a cool name: Geologic Task Force Operatives.
Generic Team Friends Organization
it's Getting The F*cking Object ulf is looking for
Hah
But I mean
It works
It has to be something the Warden is looking for
Ulf is Warden
uhh I mean it sounds like a memey lore but it makes some slight sense 
and even if it's not Ulf looking for something why would they ever go to those expeditions if they're just looking for nothing tho
it sounds like a meme but it's probably closely related to the actual lore
In comparison
Ulf = Warden
It must be that Warden wants something from the underground depths
He knows where
But we must find it
He knows what the object is capable of
But the damn underground people stored it so far deep, he doesn't know where exactly it could be
He knows there are monsters n shit down there
plus:
expedition
noun
1. a journey undertaken by a group of people with a particular purpose, especially that of exploration, research, or war.```
what's the purpose of going there? just research? not buying it...
What caused the monsters, possibly another reason we could be sent there
The purpose is to retrieve items from down there, specifically for the warden
Maybe a container broke open and got most of the workers
Maybe an object was discovered, which is more dangerous than anything known to man so he wants to contain it and keep it stored somewhere else where no one can absolutely find it nor steal it
It could be anything really
being fair I'm gonna stop the meme, either they're finding the root cause for it, they're actually looking for something (or it could be a good easter "egg" haha) or it's just that they're trying to research what these monsters are capable of
but I'm gonna say we will be able to use
and
to meme actual GTFO lore
It doesn't have to be one thing
There can be multiple reasons
After all, it's an underground facility or mining operation, and something was stored in there
A little while after whatever was needed was stored in somewhere, someone fucked up horribly on transporting an object or found a far dangerous mineral that cannot even be possibly made by just earth elements, possibly outer space element
It caused the monsters, which as normal as any living thing does, breed more. This is the reason to the big ass horde you see in the trailers
So at the same time
The Warden wants the reason to the monsters, wants to destroy the breeding grounds and Get The Fucking Object Ulf the Warden wants
this guy is truly onto something
they are not truly bringing monster DNA to their laboratories, are they
well we dont know
it could be a bunch of DNA mixed together and made a monster DNA vile
but then what's âWarden objectiveâ system update as seen in the roadmap
"Get The Fucking Objective"
what if they're actually doing an easter egg with the discord and the lore is actually related to
and 
Im sure theres no relation to any of those. The devs have been vocal on the atmosphere being serious.
And lets ease up on the ulf jokes since the gtfo lore is geared to more serious discussion.
The warden objective system?
I think that the warden has their own special objectives that you need to complete, but is not the main objective.
Theory: Warden Objective System is why you are put down there, BUT, as part of the story you are trying to become free so you have your own objectives to complete but HAVE to complete the Warden Objective to leave.
un popular opinion: all the enimes drop all the poisonous potatos from failed minecraft farmers
I liked the pinned meteor idea the most;
But instead of the Meteor bringing the Alien, it was simply done to damage the earth to make it easier for the Alien to escape. But mostly failed only weakening the earth a little.
And đ became its final prison, which later formed around its original prison and became earth we now know. And the drilling was the last bolt out of the door.
That allowed it some influence outside of it's prison.
So is there a backstory to GTFO or is it a more theory based focus on gameplay kinda thing?
well the Prisoners are in a complex, the complex is on the ground of the Santonian facility (which is a maybe a real company in mexico?). you are held as prisoners and have to do what ever the warden needs, so far as i know the story about that
i could be wrong tho
well the thing is, i played with simon last year on gamescom, the layouts are changing from every session
so it is compleatly random to obtain stuff
i like that
it is more random thatn payday2
one of my favorite parts of payday, makes shit more replayable
that what he told me
ok so i got the basic layout of the game but i meant like is there going to be information like how you got there, why the Warden is sending you down there, like specifics pretty more
*much
so far i cannot answer this question, i would pass that to a dev (if they wanna answer it)
sounds right to me
xD

GTFO - What we know so far Hello everyone! I'm Runar, and I've been following the Ten Chambers team ever since the release of Payday 2. When I heard that Ulf and several members of Overkill had left to create a new studio, I was incredibly excited. Ever since the first teaser...
oh
Yeah sorry, I just sent that message a little early
Also scroll up and look at the theories in this channel, that's what we've theorized on.
But sleweys post is the only thing we know for sure as of know (or 90% sure)
Iâm trying to put more time into the gamepedia wiki
Iâve not done much, just made a couple of the developerâs pages
I'm very curious about what's going on in that teaser they've released.
Are the "Prisoners" kept in some sort of state of sleep until they're woken up, rather forcibly, for a cage drop into the Complex?
Clones perhaps?
It all looks quite odd though, especially with the computer interface that they show at first.
I see many error in the intro
but most importantly
Like.. mental unstable
yay that!
Hm, that does seem to indicate we are dealing with an alien infection of some kind.
yepperinos
But what does that red text say?
I can see it says "UNKNOWN" but the other parts I can't make out.
mental eval(uation)
weâve also got the weird verbiage in the teaser trailer
Okay, that's quite mysterious.
the whole âI see their facesâ blah blah blah
Teaser Trailer narrative transcription:
âIt comes every night without failâ
âThere are different people every timeâ
âBut I recognize them somehowâ
âTheyâre screaming at me I donât hear them but I know they are screamingâ
âSuch hate, and angerâ
âI donât know what I have done to themâ
âThey want me to feel what they feelâ
âThen I wake up and Iâm not sweating or screaming, Iâm perfectly calm. I just open my eyes and Iâm awake!â
âItâs not a nightmare, itâs just a part of me, who I am.â
I donât fight it, I just, live around itâ
-Dauda, the Nigerian character
it reminds me of something
So in other words we may be looking at that the four characters in the trailer are actually directly controlling these unlucky "Prisoners" in some sort of cyberpunk interface?
the cortex interface thing
thatâs the script of the teaser trailer
It all reminds to me of Ghost in the Shell and other similar types of cyberpunk work where characters can be controlled remotely.
Also, Hydrostatis, that has to be the name of the "operating system" for this thing.
they seamed scared whene tosed into the big hole with creatures
The system told you the prisoner is no ready for redeploy, and yet there a system override that throw you down into the complex.
@indigo gale
It is very possible that the "Prisoners" are in a form of stasis until they're brought out for the task of going down into the Complex.
And ah, I must have missed that.
I'm gonna hazard a guess that the Hydrostasis units are the liquid filled containers we've seen in some screenshots.
Gonna be interesting how we're supposed to extract those things.
âyo pop the lid on that bad boyâ
maybe in the "matrix", got a new player like candy out of the box
Gotta say I really like the lo-fi style they're going for with the computer interfaces.
So I have a theory about the latest teaser for the vid on monday
It seems like the game could possibly function like Escape from Tarkov
You have the ability to upload your consciousness per se, the nural link. Up to a prisoner who is kept in those pods
Or you could have the possibility to insert as yourself, a much more capable dude, better stamina etc
but obviously if you die as you, I dunno, bad things
Maybe if that dude dies. He gets turned into one of the mutants
And they act like the survivor zombies from l4d
But well..
I need to see some suggestions of debuff for that
What where they getting injected with when it said inject during the new trailer
@fathom cloud seems to me that it was referring to 'injecting' your mind into another body
Yeah, I think Cortex Injection implies some sort of Avatar thing going on. Your mind being injected into Dauda's body or whatever.
Or it could be Dauda who is getting his mind "injected" into someone else's body.
A Mirrored Yeehaw brought up about what Dauda said in the Game Awards trailer from 2017 yesterday.
That could be, too. "There are different people every time, but I recognize them somehow" rather supports that.
Still... an Avatar type thing going on.
So the Hydrostasis Units we are retrieving are bodies for future expeditions. It all starts to make sense!
Its likely
however.. This thing, like the elevator shaft and all that, its much bigger that we actually thought
Good stuff
and the choice of available characters depends on the number of mined hydrostasis?
I doubt it,
I think that just goes for the lore and story
don't think it has anything to do with "Oh, Since we extracted this guy, Imma take him cuz he has a better hat"
but what we will get at expeditions, which will give improvements
new guns, attachments and all that
because this is a very important point on which replayability depends
The gear you equip is still "provided" by the Warden, it's just been upgraded by you as part of the gameplay process. And as Konficker states, is an important component to replayability. Not to mention survivability as you dig deeper into the complex.
It'll be interesting to see what type of weapons we've get "provided" by the Warden as we upgrade.
Soo.. you get injected into new body,everytime
Hence why they never show the prisoner face?!?
Always wearing a helmet
yep... Always wearing a helmet and respirator (infection?)
Yeah, don't forget that if you look in the teaser they released, you can see that the prisoner that's being "injected" into has got high infection.
Which probably means most, if not all, of the prisoners are infected to some degree by whatever is down there in the Complex.
yes, but what does it affect, and the image of the brain on boot may be something like the level of madness
anyway damn interestingđ
that's a question
I don't know when the delay was announced, but I do recall it being slated for "spring 2019"
oh I see
well, T time can tick upwards
itâs t - pre launch, and then t+ after launch
I've only ever seen T- tick down
Itâs âMission Elapsed Timeâ
and shown in a t+ format
at least, thatâs how NASA uses it
yeah, in the video the time went from -32 to -34 so it's ticking the wrong way.
the wrong way to indicate anticipation of a date, yes
the right way if weâre counting the total elapsed time since something happened
which is what I believe is what it is indicating
the minuses before the numbers are weird though
could just be dashes, on second glance, nope
Meanwhile the devs are sitting back thinking "Shit it's just some numbers, now we gotta make up some lore" đ
I think that itâs a total elapsed time since an the incident that made the monsters/since the monsters got loose
oh it was shown at 33 seconds into the latest IGN trailer for GTFO
@cerulean burrow haha LOL
Exactly?
This new cinematic teaser trailer for the four-player PvE first-person shooter GTFO will get you warmed up for the new gameplay video dropping on IGN on Octo...
somewhere here
yeah could be the outbreak countdown - since the incident
so what the fuck happened in January
assuming the t is ticking up, it started about 23rd Jan
in real time
if that's the game incident time - then it's something else entirely
Itâs most definitely incident time
but the thing is
gtfo is set in the future
âThe near futureâ
okay so I gotta attempt to make a breakdown of gtfoâs trailer donât I
but the thing is
will I get in trouble for the music or not
Okay so looking at the trailer again and again
The whole thing seems like that there is something implanted into their brains
could possibly be a "on/off" switch, they are being put to sleep when not needed, and on when it's action
I mean would make sense, that the lobby and menu looks like if it was inside a computer, not even on a screan, but inside the code or something
once you start that shit your characters suddenly wakes up and breathes heavily
simonGasp.wav
It makes me all the more eager to get the game once its out on Early Access.
I need to learn what its all about with the "Cortex Interface" and such.
ok "cortex interface injection", what does that sound like, VR simulation or something like the matrix
I'm gonna say more like something for interfacing directly with people that perhaps have implants in their brain.
perhaps they mean like a literal interface - bullet counter and stuff
and for communication with the base
the game has to come out in the next week or so
Not really the right place to discuss that matter (And I doubt it).
I also doubt it, and would recommend #gtfo-chat for future points on the games release
mmm the concience theory is pretty accurate cause of the words of the previous trailer
maybe the charactters are in reality "stored" somehow as a form of DNA sample and injected into "shells" bodies, who are actual people in captivity.
That's a pretty sound theory right there. Considering how advanced the tech looks, it wouldn't be out of the realms of possibility that they're able to "store" DNA samples of the characters for future use, in this case expeditions into the Complex.
that seems like a bit of a stretch though i got nothing of that sorts from what we saw, from what the text log scrolls in the recent trailer it just seems like all or at least the one in the trailer are prisoners infected with the virus and kept in hydro stasis until they are put to work for whatever reason.
is there a wiki, and where can i go for consolidated media relating to the lore
Thanks fam
But the question is, where is this infection coming from?
Hm, we'll have to wait and see.
mmm but then what is Dauda talking about?
heâs talking about seeing the people that are infected tbh
"different people everytime..."
or he could be talking about who you take control of
Iâm beginning to think the latter rn
maybe
you mean the Sleepers? or the Scavengers?
also the drop pods are different from the first ones seen in the 2017 trailer
something like a hive mind?
I donât think so
i think what gives you your hud that cerebral injection is in world what the group sending you down there uses to track you and help you do whatever your task is like its an implanted gadget.
Did you guys see how they were dropped in?
Yeah we've had the elevator footage from the first trailer too. But them getting woken up from some sort of stasis is new.
well
the first trailers footage was much more rickety
it's quite a contrast tbh
you've got this rickety freefall
Yeah it has a different (grittier?) feel to it, but it's the same in principle
vs this hyper quiet hydraulically powered freefall
maybe it changes as you go deeper?
I gotta say, I prefer the grittier clickety clackety free fall
I am a fan of tasteful audio cutouts for mood
It feels like in a way we've pivoted from having a very primitive elevator/system in general
to being a lot more high tech
You know, Maybe theyre so deep they have to go under some sort of stasis or be pressurized or something
in the first video
