tbh it’s really cool when games studios make actual websites for their ingame companies, like the Fednet and GenSec ones in payday

oooh purphStare

inspect element noises

#

so apparently the santonian age is a part of the late Cretaceous, and had a shit ton of ammonites.

tall anchor
#

Approx 17 million years before the chixiclub crater was made

#

not sure if it will have any relevance to the story, but it’s still cool

#

Here’s a good link about the period for those interested

#

It’s named after the city of Saintes in western France

tbh I thought there would be more of a reaction

gaunt hedge
#

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

formal thunder
#

most likely

tall anchor
#

@lilac island

#

same thing we saw with the site

it’s just not got the yellow in game

wrong ping I guess

cerulean forum
#

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

tall anchor
#

sorry xaextral

#

I meant to ping roogini

cerulean forum
#

Ahh

lost meadow
#

Is there any ACTUAL lore to read up on?

#

I see snippets here and there, but would love to see more

frail pollen
#

There will be lore, but the devs are keeping it pretty well under wraps

lost meadow
#

Gotcha, I'm bored atm and could of used some reading material

gaunt hedge
#

I can recommend you a web series if you’d like

lost meadow
#

That can go many ways

#

Sure why not

gaunt hedge
#

Worm

#

It’s long af

#

But pretty damn good

lost meadow
#

It's just called worm?

#

Oh boy

gaunt hedge
#

Yeah. It’s about superheroes and villains but it’s very serious and grim

lost meadow
#

Wait, aren't you in the LYTN discord too?

gaunt hedge
#

Also we should probably take this to #general

#

And I don’t think so

lost meadow
#

Oh nvm. Ty, btw

fathom cloud
#

Maybe the warden is the entity from dead by Day light that meaning nea is the supreme one

cerulean forum
#

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

tall anchor
#

There’s 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?

Please use appropriate chat. Keep this channel for GTFO lore find and theory. The kpop thing belong to #general

primal olive
#

So where do i get caught with the lore for this game?

full iris
#

Pretty much everything that currently exists is either here on the discord, or remains trapped in the Minds of our devs.

sand pawn
#

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...

cerulean forum
#

@sand pawn A very good theory but maybe virus is a alien like thing from the eggs or a cocoon used to transform humans

lilac island
#

I second that theory

#

Remember prometheus? Accidently creating killer aliens? Same premise here, perhaps anyways..

cerulean forum
#

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

tranquil dome
#

@cerulean forum its in the crater of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs

cerulean forum
#

tf its a thing?

tranquil dome
#

The complex is located there

cerulean forum
#

what is it just like a hole in the ground?

tranquil dome
#

Well its a mining and science facility

cerulean forum
#

ah

thorn lily
#

Do we figure out a bit of the lore while grabbing supplies for the warden

indigo gale
#

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.

sand pawn
#

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? 😑 edit, sorry of my english

#

i maybe pick the alien type have virus

#

who knows 🤔

tall anchor
#

pls no

#

gosh darn it I want this to be a semi serious lore channel

#

let me make a word document

#

my word expired ;/

cerulean forum
#

@tall anchor We on't know shit about the game XD we can only speculate

tall anchor
#

yeah, but straight up "big smoke will be in the game" isn't really what I'm looking for

cerulean forum
#

Fair

toxic sand
#

Slewey kinda found it happen in some crater on earth.

#

Or related to this place

tall anchor
#

You're reffering to the GPS co-ordinates that place this in the Chixiculb Crater, which it's asteroid supposedly what ended the dinosaurs?

toxic sand
#

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

tall anchor
#

The Santonian Investments which supposedly was made by Bishop?

toxic sand
#

A prisoner involved?

tall anchor
#

Let me double check, but I think Bishop was involved

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

tranquil dome
#

I sent them an Email lol

#

Asking what they’re doing

shut mountain
#

Ye, I was surprised too about the "contact" tab actually having a email lmaooo

tame badge
#

Did you get a response?

tranquil dome
#

Nope

slender iris
#

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

formal thunder
#

The keyword is potato

slender iris
#

But of course

#

Russet?

#

Vidalia?

tranquil dome
#

We could try that @slender iris

west snow
#

what's this about sounds interesting

tranquil dome
#

So theres a web page from this mining corp.
And theres only one button saying “contact” connected with an Email adress

#

@west snow

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?

tall anchor
#

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.

west snow
#

does the logo actually appear in the game?

tall anchor
#

Yes,

#

It appears in one of the trailers

west snow
#

do you have the image ?

tall anchor
#

Grabbing now

west snow
#

was there any update on that email address did they ever get a response

tall anchor
#

Image finding credit @Evo#3960

#

And I don't think they got a response

west snow
#

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

tall anchor
#

wdym?

#

lemme have a check!

west snow
slender iris
#

@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.

west snow
#

yeah I realised that now oops

slender iris
#

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

west snow
#

yeah i was thinking maybe there is a broken link to the index page or an external source ?

slender iris
#

I found one link lol

west snow
slender iris
#

I wonder if we can get into the images address

west snow
#

that would be routed through the index page

slender iris
#

I've found a few but i've been getting a lot of 401's

yeah did we find out who F.Bishop is

tall anchor
#

Yeah

#

It’s one of the prisioners

#

He speaks in the Intro I think?

#

could be someone else though

#

but yes, we do

slender iris
#

Yeah the american

#

Also

tall anchor
#

When do we get a .fandom page or something

slender iris

why tf are they using popper.js

I haven't found any poppers

I am going to be honest I don't think anything else is there yet

west snow
#

yeah

tall anchor
#

there's still stuff to write about

west snow
#

how did w find this site in the first place

tall anchor
#

Ludvig, one of the developers linked it and @'d me

west snow
#

oh right

#

that contact link seems to be the only important thing so far

tall anchor
#

It's the only thing on the site uyukiDerp

west snow
#

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

tall anchor
#

oh god not another MUDUTU

#

That sucked ass

west snow
#

i mean it a pretty stock standard arg thing

tall anchor
#

sad

#

I fucking hated MUDUTU

#

and I'm not going to back down from it

#

but ok

#

fine

#

I'll accept it

slender iris
#

Let's just give it some time here folks

frail pollen
#

has anyone tried emailing the contact link yet?

tall anchor
#

yes

west snow
#

yeah no response

#

maybe they sent the wrong thing

#

?

slender iris
#

Maybe we should send emails that are serious inquiries about the investment group lol

#

"I have this great startup idea"

tall anchor
#

I've got one half-drafted

west snow
#

yeah that might work

polar junco
#

what about the coordinates of the crater?

tall anchor
#

erm, it's in a video

#

I'll grab it

#

Alright

west snow
#

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 ch’ik means "flea" or "tick", and xulub’ means "devil, demon, or horns"
From there we theorize the underground aspect of the game connects to the nearby Chicxulub Crater drilling site

Rip TooBad pin

#

What?

tall anchor
#

I mean it is an Interesting/important part of the game

#

so it makes sense

#

but really the original one should have been pinned

formal thunder
#

Wait, the pin was removed, I saw it

tall anchor
#

Still pinned for me

formal thunder
#

Uhh, okay then...

tall anchor
#

I just edited it a bit to make more sense to someone reading pins

toxic sand
#

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.

formal thunder
#

Oh, maybe when you edited it, it dissapeared for a second

#

Ok, I guess thats it. Srry

final gate
#

It's just the mexico location thing that was pinned pug

tall anchor
#

yeah

formal thunder
#

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.

lilac island
#

a good route to take for possible dlc is other dig sites around the world

#

with new infrastructure, enemies, etc

tall anchor
#

That would be interesting

#

but I don’t think they’ll really shift from “the complex” setting too much

lilac island
#

oh yeah of course

#

but still textures could be slightly altered

tall anchor
#

Probably

#

Maybe future games

lilac island
#

who knows, we're still very far away from any possible dlc

tall anchor
#

I really don’t think that other areas will be included

cerulean forum
#

idk Maybe a very big cazam

#

might be cool

lilac island
#

yeah same here

cerulean forum
#

in the full gae

#

game*

#

like a underworld world

lilac island
#

im fine with that too, as long as there is variation with depth levels

tall anchor
#

let me harp on about the santonian period goshdarn it

warm canyon
#

So about the origin of the monsters...

tall anchor
#

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.

warm canyon
#

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?

tall anchor
#

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.

warm canyon
#

lol, so it's either some kind of T-virus or some kind of marker responsible for the monsters.

tall anchor
#

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.

warm canyon
#

Oh, how interesting. Yes, it definitely looks like some experimentation was going on in the complex before hand.

tall anchor
#

Yeah, hence the thoughts about it either being a virus that one of the scientists got or one of the containers burst.

warm canyon
#

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.

tall anchor
#

Well, I don't think that they've directly said eggs apart from once in that tweet that I found.

warm canyon
#

I remember them saying something like "eww, they're some sort of parasitic eggs!"

tall anchor
#

Oh yeah, I forgot about that

#

There's also a tweet that goes along the lines of "they're eggs"

west snow
#

yeet

tall anchor
#

correct

#

them eggs are back again

west snow

oh has anything happened with that or is it still the same ?

tall anchor
#

What do you mean?

slender iris
#

The eggs?

tall anchor
#

I mean, there's been no news for months

toxic sand
#

Keep this channel lore only

tall anchor
#

I've "uncovered" the egg stuff

#

but there's nothing about the origin

toxic sand
#

Hence why use the other channel

west snow
#

could there be clues and Easter eggs hidden in the roadmaps web page; any mods want to comment?

tall anchor
#

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

frail pollen
#

Mods don't know anything more than users do, but we're also under NDA

west snow
#

have people checked it

#

rip

tall anchor
#

I've read it

#

There's nothing crazy iirc

#

it's literally a roadmap page

#

I'll have a read later

west snow
#

what about the page source ?

tall anchor
#

Yeah, that's what I meant

#

I'll have a look in a bit

west snow
#

ah right

#

hold up why do mods have to sign a NDA if you know as much as us........ suspicious

tall anchor
#

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

frail pollen
#

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

tall anchor
#

D0c might have a better answer

#

Yeah, there we go

west snow
#

wouldn't expect anyone to have an alpha date i don't even think the devs have that knowledge

tall anchor
#

I would expect that they know a week that they're planning on

#

If they didn't, that would be a huge yikes

west snow
#

the impression i got is that is more of a "its done when we finish it however long that takes"

tall anchor
#

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

frail pollen
west snow
#

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

glossy cargo
#

Mhmm?

west snow
#

?

#

something wrong

glossy cargo
#

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

west snow
#

I’m 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

indigo gale
#

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?

toxic sand
#

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.

shut mountain
#

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 👀 I can't wait for the game to come out and see what exactly is going on tbh

indigo gale
#

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.

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

what if the game is taking so long to come out because they want to skip alpha and go straight to early access 🤔

formal thunder
#

plot twist

tall anchor
#

so given that Simon in the Dev documentary says “who are the warden”

#

and it being obviously scripted to a large extent

#

the warden is no one man

#

Governmental entity?

ornate zephyr
#

Could be a misspoken English word as well

tall anchor
#

That’s true

ornate zephyr
#

He very well could mean who is the warden

tall anchor
#

but I’d assume they’d really script out this

#

my instincts are to agree with you

#

but it doesn’t quite seem right

#

especially given the singular references to “the entity that is the warden”

ornate zephyr
#

A.I

tall anchor
#

hmm

formal thunder
#

But then, why not "what is the warden"

tall anchor
#

but yeah, half of my argument is “how well did the script”

#

and I’d assume they did a good job

#

so idk

tall anchor
#

(On door)

#

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

sullen ibex
#

I dont need sleep I need answers

warm canyon
#

So can we post our guesses for what GTFO stands for here, or should we discuss that in gtfo-chat?

formal thunder
#

Both

pliant quail
#

Here is fine since it relates to lore.

winter plume
#

I bet the beasts are humans themselves owo

tall anchor
#

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

winter plume
#

They could be like the little crawlers from ‘Until Dawn’

#

It’s 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

warm canyon
#

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. 😄

tall anchor
#

I mean they’re all non military

warm canyon
#

Yet, they function pretty much as a military unit

tall anchor
#

and specifically not a well prepared task force, in anyway

#

that’s true

warm canyon
#

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.

tall anchor
#

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 they’re untrained for this stuff

warm canyon
#

How well do you have to be trained to be a task force?

#

Especially if you're a prisoner?

pliant quail
#

The prisoners are essentially expendable assets thrown into the Complex to recover valuable items.

warm canyon
#

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?

tall anchor
#

technically yes

#

but they’re most definitely untrained specifically for this task

pliant quail
#

Task force is generally a group of highly trained experts

#

The prisoners are neither

tall anchor
#

point being that Bishop was either a web designer or a ceo

warm canyon
#

So, they are severely untrained Geologic Task Force Operatives.

pliant quail
#

I mean you can assume that's what you think GTFO stands for.

#

That's just speculation.

tall anchor
#

ooooooo

pliant quail
#

But we know they're not highly trained.

tall anchor
#

I didn’t pick up on that

pliant quail
#

They have no military background.

tall anchor
#

yeah, what slewey said

#

Quote from Simon being something along the lines of “non military”

#

and how they’re trying to see how this relationship pans out given that they’re all forced to do this stuff

pliant quail
#

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.

tall anchor
#

oh nice

pliant quail
#

Since people routinely get killed

tall anchor
#

Do you know a source for that point?

pliant quail
#

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.

tall anchor
#

like where

pliant quail
#

He can verify it.

tall anchor
#

oh no, I believe you

#

I just wondered if it was in a interview I’d missed

pliant quail
#

I think he said it in discord

#

it was awhile back.

warm canyon
#

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.

pliant quail
#

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

warm canyon
#

We all have to start somewhere...

fathom cloud
#

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

tall anchor
#

nah

#

they are restarting the gtfo hype train

#

they'll do it next month

lost ore
#

Geological Task Force Operative: that sounds COOL, also really possible for the lore.

tall anchor
#

but they aren’t a task force and most definitely not spec ops

tall anchor
#

test tube 1

lost ore
#

oh ok

tall anchor
#

Yeah, they’re not military at all

#

they’ve 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

lost ore
#

yeah i read something like that.

tall anchor
#

People also get routinely killed down in the complex

lost ore
#

they are expendables, i know that.

#

but the team we play, seems the most capable of all them.

tall anchor
#

I think they’ve been at it the longest lore wise, but then again, I don’t think an expedition has been completed by any non-developer, so it’s more of a specific character rather than a large group

lost ore
#

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.

tall anchor
#

Don’t forget that the creatures aren’t 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:
“It comes every night without fail”
“There are different people every time”
“But I recognize them somehow”

“They’re screaming at me I don’t hear them but I know they are screaming”
“Such hate, and anger”
“I don’t know what I have done to them”
“They want me to feel what they feel”

“Then I wake up and I’m not sweating or screaming, I’m perfectly calm. I just open my eyes and I’m awake!”
“It’s not a nightmare, it’s just a part of me, who I am.”
I don’t fight it, I just, live around it”
-Dauda, the Nigerian character

pliant quail
#

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.

tall anchor
#

@fathom cloud

#

it's here

fathom cloud
#

How did I miss it

#

I’m ready to become sick the moment the alpha is released

warm canyon
#

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).

formal thunder
#

Makes sense

#

And sounds very nice

warm canyon
#

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.

tall anchor
#

well you are alluding to them being “operatives” but then again the dictionary definition for that doesn’t have special training in it

#

I mean, just remember that they’ve got no training

warm canyon
#

Yes, untrained, unskilled Geologic Task Force Operatives.

#

Also, what do you think of the "Germinating Terra-Forming Organism" hypothesis?

pliant quail
#

I doubt there is any terraforming involved because they seem to breathe oxygen fine, so there's no point to it.

warm canyon
#

Oh, so I can take off my gas mask?

pliant quail
#

And they tolerate the environment fine.

warm canyon
#

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).

pliant quail
#

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.

warm canyon
#

Ah, life support systems malfunctions, excellent.

lilac island
#

Also ain’t the facility deep underground? So maybe

#

breathing might get harder for the player? Idk I’m not too smart on how the lore works

warm canyon
#

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.

lilac island
#

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

waxen birch
#

I wonder if GTFOs lore will tie in with Payday's mysteries

warm canyon
#

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?

sick basin
#

*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.

tall anchor
#

What if they’re a governmental organization?

sick basin
#

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.

What?

what

#

so a beta for the game is tbd?

winter plume
#

Isn’t GTFO still TBD

#

But yes, because of what happened before, the fact it’s a 9 man team, and there’s 4 parts until early access, it’s pretty much TBD

pliant quail
#

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.

coarse tapir
#

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 ConfusedUlf ReversedConfusedUlf

#

if you look closely, it's as if Ulf lost something and he's looking for it

#

ReversedConfusedUlf damn man can't find it over here
let's try searching this wayConfusedUlf

#

see

#

it all makes sense

#

I know, you might be thinking "who the fuck is this retard ConfusedUlf"

#

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 GWlulurdMmmYea

tall anchor
#

wtf Rodger

#

a) lunacinda made one of those emotes

#

b) d0c/someone flipped the first to make the second emote

coarse tapir
#

that means lunacinda is a final boss of G_ T_ F_ O_ also

winter plume
#

Because D0c knows it's correct

#

Thus he gives us a hint

#

By reversing that emote

coarse tapir
#

exactly

#

D0c will be one of the main characters of GTFO too

winter plume
#

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

coarse tapir
#

yes exactly, he's the one also healing the guys after an expedition

#

they needed DOCtors right? one of them is secretly D0c

#

it's Getting The F*cking Object ulf is looking for

winter plume
#

Hah

coarse tapir
#

it's just that GTFOUIF sounds too bad

#

so they shortened it to GTFO

winter plume
#

But I mean

#

It works

#

It has to be something the Warden is looking for

#

Ulf is Warden

coarse tapir
#

uhh I mean it sounds like a memey lore but it makes some slight sense GWaobloChildPepeShrug

#

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

winter plume
#

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

coarse tapir
#

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...

winter plume
#

What caused the monsters, possibly another reason we could be sent there

tall anchor
#

The purpose is to retrieve items from down there, specifically for the warden

winter plume
#

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

coarse tapir
#

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 ReversedConfusedUlf and ConfusedUlf to meme actual GTFO lore

winter plume
#

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

frail pollen
#

let's try to keep the lore channel a bit more serious if we could

winter plume
#

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

coarse tapir
#

this guy is truly onto something

#

they are not truly bringing monster DNA to their laboratories, are they

cerulean forum
#

well we dont know

#

it could be a bunch of DNA mixed together and made a monster DNA vile

coarse tapir
#

but then what's “Warden objective” 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 ReversedConfusedUlf and ConfusedUlf

pliant quail
#

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.

tall anchor
#

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.

winter plume
#

Well

#

I guess

tame badge
#

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

lilac island
#

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 🌍 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.

fickle canyon
#

So is there a backstory to GTFO or is it a more theory based focus on gameplay kinda thing?

pastel silo
#

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

so basically

it's g-mod prison

but with like, aliens

well the thing is, i played with simon last year on gamescom, the layouts are changing from every session

It all looks quite odd though, especially with the computer interface that they show at first.

toxic sand
#

I see many error in the intro

tall anchor
#

but most importantly

toxic sand
#

Like.. mental unstable

tall anchor
#

“Infection level: High”

toxic sand
#

yay that!

indigo gale
#

Hm, that does seem to indicate we are dealing with an alien infection of some kind.

tall anchor
#

yepperinos

indigo gale
#

But what does that red text say?

#

I can see it says "UNKNOWN" but the other parts I can't make out.

vapid prairie
#

mental eval(uation)

tall anchor
#

we’ve also got the weird verbiage in the teaser trailer

indigo gale
#

Okay, that's quite mysterious.

tall anchor
#

the whole “I see their faces” blah blah blah

toxic sand
tall anchor
#

Teaser Trailer narrative transcription:
“It comes every night without fail”
“There are different people every time”
“But I recognize them somehow”

“They’re screaming at me I don’t hear them but I know they are screaming”
“Such hate, and anger”
“I don’t know what I have done to them”
“They want me to feel what they feel”

“Then I wake up and I’m not sweating or screaming, I’m perfectly calm. I just open my eyes and I’m awake!”
“It’s not a nightmare, it’s just a part of me, who I am.”
I don’t fight it, I just, live around it”
-Dauda, the Nigerian character

vapid prairie
#

it reminds me of something

indigo gale
#

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?

vapid prairie
#

the cortex interface thing

tall anchor
#

that’s the script of the teaser trailer

indigo gale
#

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.

tall anchor
#

idk

#

because you’re supposed to be retrieving a hydrostasis container

vapid prairie
#

i want to know more about the world

#

god fucking damnit

lost atlas
#

they seamed scared whene tosed into the big hole with creatures

vapid prairie
#

oh i know what it reminds me of

#

modified carbon

#

and the whole brainchips

toxic sand
#

The system told you the prisoner is no ready for redeploy, and yet there a system override that throw you down into the complex.

tall anchor
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.

tall anchor
#

Yeah

#

you’ve seen the one with the monster inside right?

#

^ this one

indigo gale
#

Gonna be interesting how we're supposed to extract those things.

tall anchor
#

“yo pop the lid on that bad boy”

idle crypt
#

maybe in the "matrix", got a new player like candy out of the box

indigo gale
#

Gotta say I really like the lo-fi style they're going for with the computer interfaces.

hardy ibex
#

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

cold umbra
#

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

fathom cloud
#

What where they getting injected with when it said inject during the new trailer

hardy ibex
#

@fathom cloud seems to me that it was referring to 'injecting' your mind into another body

full iris
#

Yeah, I think Cortex Injection implies some sort of Avatar thing going on. Your mind being injected into Dauda's body or whatever.

indigo gale
#

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.

full iris
#

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!

tranquil dome
#

Its likely

#

however.. This thing, like the elevator shaft and all that, its much bigger that we actually thought

#

Good stuff

idle crypt
#

and the choice of available characters depends on the number of mined hydrostasis?

tranquil dome
#

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"

idle crypt
#

but what we will get at expeditions, which will give improvements

tranquil dome
#

new guns, attachments and all that

idle crypt
#

because this is a very important point on which replayability depends

full iris
#

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.

indigo gale
#

It'll be interesting to see what type of weapons we've get "provided" by the Warden as we upgrade.

toxic sand
#

Soo.. you get injected into new body,everytime

#

Hence why they never show the prisoner face?!?

#

Always wearing a helmet

idle crypt
#

yep... Always wearing a helmet and respirator (infection?)

indigo gale
#

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.

idle crypt
#

yes, but what does it affect, and the image of the brain on boot may be something like the level of madness

#

anyway damn interesting🙃

brazen path
#

-262 : -12 : -36: -32

#

23rd January 2019?

#

@formal thunder @cerulean burrow

formal thunder
#

that's a question

tall anchor
#

uh

#

how do you get that

cerulean burrow
#

I don't know when the delay was announced, but I do recall it being slated for "spring 2019"

tall anchor
#

oh I see

#

well, T time can tick upwards

#

it’s t - pre launch, and then t+ after launch

cerulean burrow
#

I've only ever seen T- tick down

tall anchor
#

It’s “Mission Elapsed Time”

#

and shown in a t+ format

#

at least, that’s how NASA uses it

cerulean burrow
#

yeah, in the video the time went from -32 to -34 so it's ticking the wrong way.

tall anchor
#

the wrong way to indicate anticipation of a date, yes

#

the right way if we’re 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

cerulean burrow
#

could just be dashes, on second glance, nope

tall anchor
#

the thing is

#

it’s in the correct format to be a dns server address

#

well, almost

cerulean burrow
#

Meanwhile the devs are sitting back thinking "Shit it's just some numbers, now we gotta make up some lore" 😆

tall anchor
#

I think that it’s a total elapsed time since an the incident that made the monsters/since the monsters got loose

brazen path
#

oh it was shown at 33 seconds into the latest IGN trailer for GTFO

#

@cerulean burrow haha LOL

tall anchor
#

Exactly?

brazen path
#

somewhere here

#

yeah could be the outbreak countdown - since the incident

tall anchor
#

so what the fuck happened in January

brazen path
#

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

tall anchor
#

It’s most definitely incident time

#

but the thing is

#

gtfo is set in the future

#

“The near future”

#

okay so I gotta attempt to make a breakdown of gtfo’s trailer don’t I

#

but the thing is

#

will I get in trouble for the music or not

formal thunder
#

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

tall anchor
#

simonGasp.wav

indigo gale
#

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.

stiff bluff
#

ok "cortex interface injection", what does that sound like, VR simulation or something like the matrix

indigo gale
#

I'm gonna say more like something for interfacing directly with people that perhaps have implants in their brain.

sly sluice
#

perhaps they mean like a literal interface - bullet counter and stuff

#

and for communication with the base

fathom cloud
#

the game has to come out in the next week or so

glossy cargo
#

Not really the right place to discuss that matter (And I doubt it).

tall anchor
#

I also doubt it, and would recommend #gtfo-chat for future points on the games release

lost ore
#

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.

indigo gale
#

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.

polar forge
#

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.

jaunty steeple
#

is there a wiki, and where can i go for consolidated media relating to the lore

#

Thanks fam

tall anchor
#

holy shit

#

it is an infection

indigo gale
#

But the question is, where is this infection coming from?

tall anchor
#

the asteroid

#

check pins

#

not confirmed though

indigo gale
#

Hm, we'll have to wait and see.

lost ore
#

mmm but then what is Dauda talking about?

tall anchor
#

he’s talking about seeing the people that are infected tbh

lost ore
#

"different people everytime..."

tall anchor
#

or he could be talking about who you take control of

#

I’m beginning to think the latter rn

lost ore
#

maybe

#

you mean the Sleepers? or the Scavengers?

#

also the drop pods are different from the first ones seen in the 2017 trailer

tall anchor
#

yeah

#

and we’ve got some sort of cerebral complex link

lost ore
#

something like a hive mind?

tall anchor
#

I don’t think so

polar forge
#

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.

faint shore
#

Did you guys see how they were dropped in?

bleak atlas
#

Yeah we've had the elevator footage from the first trailer too. But them getting woken up from some sort of stasis is new.

tall anchor
#

well

#

the first trailers footage was much more rickety

#

it's quite a contrast tbh

#

you've got this rickety freefall

bleak atlas
#

Yeah it has a different (grittier?) feel to it, but it's the same in principle

tall anchor
#

vs this hyper quiet hydraulically powered freefall

bleak atlas
#

maybe it changes as you go deeper?

tall anchor
#

I gotta say, I prefer the grittier clickety clackety free fall

bleak atlas
#

I am a fan of tasteful audio cutouts for mood

tall anchor
#

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

faint shore
#

You know, Maybe theyre so deep they have to go under some sort of stasis or be pressurized or something

tall anchor
#

in the first video
