bleak atlas
No they are woken up for the descent
bleak atlas
it was in reply to slade
tall anchor
oh yeah I understand now
faint shore
Yea, I just dont want to say these people are forced down there because they honestly seemed pretty geared
nevermind they are xD
bleak atlas
the idea is they are pretty lacking in gear, and they definitely are forced down by something called the Warden. the characters are prisoners.
or slaves
not sure
faint shore
Hmm, Maybe its a military thing. Like they dont want to waste manpower to eliminate the threat so they use prisoners?
tall anchor
tbh i'd argue that the government probably doesn't know about what's down there
or even that it was anything more than a mining facility
lyric laurel
would make sense to put in prisoners or such, as they have to upkeep those people, by sending them in to clear or do stuff for them they just win on it because either they die or do a valueable job for the goverment
tall anchor
also it's probably the mexican government
faint shore
Probably
tall anchor
Well, it's not confirmed it's on the Yucatan peninsula
but I've gotta say, it probably is
bleak atlas
I think it might be a black ops sort of deal where they messed up bioweapon or found some alien life and now they have to covertly contain or salvage it. Or it could be the same sort of thing but with a private installation because capitalism.
Thats grossly oversimplifying though.
polar forge
i mean id probably go with some form of the latter they do say the word warden in the first trailer
bleak atlas
I personally like the idea of a combo of the two, like it could be that they found alien life or some deep undiscovered thing down in the complex and through years of experimentation to make it into a bioweapon they did some bad shit that lead to the current state of the complex.
just guessing though
polar forge
thats possible the recent view of the mission has you going down there for some sample data of something could have something to do with the creatures you fight.
faint shore
OMG, Whats if it wasnt a weapon at all? What if it was a cure?
tall anchor
I mean
polar forge
like i said the mission has you going for some sample data could be for anything
tall anchor
that could have been the orignally planned end result
bleak atlas
^
tall anchor
either way, something went very wrong, and people lost control of the complex
faint shore
also think that red light is for tracking and the fluids from the inside of the creatures make the light brighter than what it is
bleak atlas
The ultimate conundrum with a bioweapon is getting it to target only enemies and not your own side. So having a cure and keeping it for yourself is the most important aspect of a bioweapon. So needing a cure is sort of implied?
faint shore
Well, What im saying is that they were looking for a cure for another disease. It went all fucked up and...maybe the disease adapted to the in progress cure and mutated people and spread through the instalation? Just an idea idk
tall anchor
who knows 
faint shore
Yea, but that red light they seem to react to it everytime it goes off
Idk if you all noticed but their butts are infected
Pretty badly
tall anchor
same with their faces though
bleak atlas
I think it's their orifices in general lol
split ember
looks like it
tall anchor
because a lot of people die
idle crypt
how about "SANTONIAN"
pallid crypt
maybe there isn't a way to safely send in specialists... I.E. what if this is essentially a first response unit.
to answer my own question - it seems sh-t has been bad for a while so it doesn't make sense to send in a first response team like that.
pliant quail
They're prisoners sent in against their will. They're not specialists
Or a first response unit with military training.
tall anchor
He's saying that sending in specialists would make much more sense than prisoners
pliant quail
There's probably a explanation for that in the final game.
Probably to keep something secret
Getting the military or police involved would implicate the warden in illegal activities.
tall anchor
Well, it kind of helps that it's supposedly set in a remote part of mexico
I didn't see that many big towns when I looked at GMaps
idle crypt
illegal activities. it can explain a weapon in a makeshift style
tall anchor
It's in the near future, officially.
hold on a fat second
I think she's in one of these suckers
idle crypt
looks like an elevator at night in the mall😬
jaunty steeple
They're prisoners taken out of hydrostasis and being controlled by someone who you the player are playing as
faint shore
So if the orifices are so fucked up then maybe they're infected by...you know..like physically implanting the virus?
tall anchor
doesn't seem that it's injected
Considering that at least one of the subjects has a high infection level
idle crypt
8-9 sec, lightning and thunder, i.e. loading the cab is in the open air.
the mine itself, it is huge for 22 seconds,
24 seconds you can see the crane and the installation of the descent (and they are alien to the mine),
33-37 sec, faults of the place of arrival are visible
tall anchor
oh yeah that reminds me
in a couple days I'll have my video on the breakdown of the first cin trailer up & shared
fun fact about in the cin trailer?
It tells you how deep you are going
lemme grab the screenie
it's not actually that deep
see anything interesting?
Depth: 427 feet
that's suprisingly not as deep as I had originallly thought
that's only a third of a mile
I would have assumed it would be closer to a couple miles deep
pliant quail
If you look at the rundown animation there's several layers to the complex so it runs deeper than that.
pliant quail
Yeah but there's even more to it.
tall anchor
still pretty shallow for the third level from the top
I'm sure that the deeper parts are more than just a several hundred feet deep though

The game might take place in some mexico crater.
We are prisonner forced to work for The Warden
We might be the same prisonner in a new body when they "fail"
Santorian industry own the complex but something went wrong.
Bishop is involve with santorian (one of the prisonner)

Do you think the name of the organization refers to the time of the formation of the crater?

it seems like there is a SCP vibe to the game, I really wouldn't mind if they more or less shamelessly used some more SCP stuff in the lore, like we are teams of D-class being used for experiments/dirty work

Any numbers?
cerulean burrow
there might be something in a video, but I don't know
I do know it's sci fi, which indicates future. they also have advanced weapons like automated portable turrets
toxic sand
My personal guess would be somewhere around 2050. Tech don't seem crazy advanced. There no laser gun or blade.
There is this weird cortex interface, and the cool scanner that let you look at the room.
cerulean burrow
kinda... Aliens level tech
glossy cargo
Do we have any imagery that can officially represent The Warden?

The only thing we got is what the devs told us. it's all the warden, nothing more.
And we got @native shell watching on us.

Do we have any audio clips of the different characters voices?

Pretty sure the only audio we have right now is what was heard in the early gameplay vids that 10cc put out themselves back in the day...
We know the voice over for the first teaser video was Dauda.
glossy cargo
I see, thanks.
half vale
Interesting @glossy cargo but why the same memories?
glossy cargo
In this video Dauda, a character in GTFO, states that the people invading the complex are always different, but he still recognizes each one of them every time.
glossy cargo
I'm composing something that should give people enough objective material to form their own opinions on the entire story line
I'll show you it when I finish it, if you want.

@cerulean forum kalgoorlie?
cerulean forum
?
tranquil dome
Oi bois I think I cracked the code
In the Trailer, Dauda says:
"Then I wake up, I'm not sweating or screaming, I'm perfectly calm, I just open my eyes and I'm awake... And It's not a nightmare, It's just part of me.. Who I am. I don't fight it, I just.. Live around it."
So we know that there is cryostasis. Rite? and that they recognize each other every time (the lads who head down there)
So maybe, If they Die down there.. The just wake up In a different body, and try again with a reset memory? (before the failed operation started)
glossy cargo
That's what I think it is....
Dauda is somehow being used as a voice for the monsters, saying that he recognizes them every time, but somehow they're not the same.
I believe that infers that the characters consciousnesses are uploaded into bodies that are recovered from hydrostasis units. It would also be supported by the neural link we say most recently in one of the trailers.
glossy cargo
ye
spare moon
But what if they are controlling the prisoners avatar style?
So their main body is in a safe place while they command puppets?
north laurel
Don’t know if this has been discussed about really, but if that is the case that their consciousness is put into a new body as such, would there be a possibility that the deceased body could possibly mutate into one of the creatures by chance or? 🤔
tall anchor
yeah
that's what's going on in one part of the trailer
one of the screens has an "infection level: high" on it
glossy cargo

north laurel

tranquil dome
we will find out
eternal hearth
Yeah I think the Mexico theory is correct.
Its almost like its some kind of human experimentation that went awry. Also it doesn't appear to be that far into the future. Already in America our normal guns and optics you can buy in regular gun stores can easily make the things you see currently. They're just not fully automatic for civilians. Heck take a trip down to the range and you'll see them all over, in various patchwork style to that, but in much better condition.
The Demon Tick seems to be the real clue as to what it is.
low stream
We definitely can’t make bioscanners though.
Also civilians can own NFA transferable fully automatic weapons in the United States.
eternal hearth
That's true. I don't have an NFA full auto, but my AR setup has a Holosun 510C and a Vortex Micro magnifier, and I've got a Thermal Imager on a flip to the side mount I can attach to the side for Thermal vision at night. Plus the standard weapon light.
There is one note though, we dont' have bioscanners, but we do have flip to the side motion detectors as seen in the COD2 game. Thats kinda what my thermal attachment looks like except it does thermal imaging.
tall anchor
Well, it is set a little bit in the future
in say like 20 years or so, will we have a bioscanner....
low stream
We don’t have motion detectors like in Aliens tho
I doubt it’s 20 years in the future. Especially with all the neural link stuff and how deep the ruins are.
tall anchor
either way, it's in the "near" future
low stream
I’d bet that it could even be a couple hundred but in a more post apocalyptic way. Like guns aren’t that advanced because the knowledge to make super fancy stuff was lost.
tall anchor
so circa 50 years maybe
eternal hearth
Naw we actually do have those things... but they have limitations currently. As I'd said the flip to the side motion detector you see in COD2 and my Thermal Imager I have on my AR do indeed do what they say... but...
Its got limitations...
The Motion detector can't detect through walls... and my Thermal Imager, which can see in the dark can't see through walls or through glass.
low stream
That’s why I said the motion tracker from Aliens
If you haven’t seen the movie... lol
eternal hearth
Yeah I remember it, from Aliens 2. But we do indeed have something similar currently, and they attach to your AR or other piccatini rail. So this isn't that terribly far in the future.
low stream
But it can track through walls and at a pretty good distance
Also incidentally the film is Aliens. The first one is Alien.
tall anchor
it's almost like you can tell the devs are fans of the movie alien 
low stream
Aliens
Yeah definite Aliens vibes lol
That’s actually what I thought about most of the IGN gameplay
Especially the retro tech terminals
I wonder if BASH commands will work on them...
eternal hearth
Seriously though its really not that far in the future... If this was me that got dropped into that situation just given my current gear I'd be dropping in there with the setup I detailed above, and about 10 magazines worth of ammo. And I'm not alone, the guy next to me in my cube has an AR but he's using a different Red Dot (Aimpoint), and has a quad rail with a hand brace... I'm using a front vertical grip.
Another guy that came in to work with us from an outside company had a Kris Vector in .45 caliber and he was using a different reflex sight.
split ember
First wipe > "GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!"
eternal hearth
Well heh, you know then, you've been out to the Range. All the gear you see in GTFO is already available and widely used in the USA just by civilians. Even if our Motion detectors aren't as strong or our flip to the side Thermal Imagers can't see through walls... we do have them heh.
low stream
But some technology doesn’t advance at the rate you think
That’s why I think it’s a bit of a more distant future that fell in tech a bit
ivory herald
Any theory on the soldiers/playable characters?
From the gameplay reveal trailer, sounds like they have to complete whatever task that was assigned to them so that they can "go home". Are they prisoners of some kind? Indebted to someone powerful?

they are prisoners
I would reccomend checking out the steam forum
Runar has a great post called "What we know about gtfo" or something

Turns out GTFO is all set inside the minds of coma patients and the players are sifting through their broken minds to find sensitive data.(not)

We did learned from the IGN gameplay that the prisonner are likely mind transfered to other body.
quartz citrus
could it be possible that the bodies are of prisoners, but the minds are of an unknown group of people?

And what if that group of peoples is us, the players?

Let's keep images relevant to gtfo lore.
chrome agate
GTFO is matrix

@cloud swift
jaunty steeple
The other body is the prisoner
they're brought out of hydro stasis for your remote control
The title GTFO is actually in reference to the feeling of these prisoners whose bodies have been hijacked remotely and are forced to watch in horror as forces beyond their control lead their mortal coil to their potential demise
toxic sand
That is... kinda possible haha

wait who made an underground facility so deep and how hasn't it collapsed

or it isn't as deep as I think

I'd think (from my own experinces as well as own intelligence as sub-par as it is) that proper foundation and architecture should be able to support any place underground for quite a few years
toxic sand
Fan tgeory say it is a meteirite crater in mexico. Abd people digged tthat to recover the material
ivory herald
Hydro stasis? First time I heard about something like this, I usually hear about cryostasis. But would make sense, if the prisoners are actually being hijacked, and not just watched through implants (and not using a helmet with a hud with a camera attached to it, the cheaper option)
Also, wouldn't it be a waste to hijack prisoner's bodies just to send them into slaughter in the pit? Wouldn't be easier to just blackmail them, or even use machinery like drones, or even robots, if you got so much tech just laying around?
ivory herald
By the way, what do we call the "place" where well go? I called it 'the pit', but I've seen some people call it "the hole", "the cavern" and "the depths". Is there an official name for this?
winter plume
The Complex

@ivory herald The "Body Hijack" can be explained by our mind-jacking heroes being experts in this sort of complex-diving, so they just use bodies of prisoners instead of prisoners themselves to do so
Like, we have the experience and information regarding complex-diving, so it's better to hijack a body of a dude and dive yourself instead of briefing / training the prisoner and sending him instead
maybe that's why in the Announcement trailer Dauda has these nightmares about people screaming at him, since he is an expert diver who dove in many bodies, and the people whose bodies he used and whose bodies were mutilated in the Complex by the creature are screaming at him with "Such hate and anger"
like some form of lowkey guilt
ivory herald
Oh, I tought that the prisoners where people with military backgrounds, that would be considered 'expendable soldiers' by their government. And I had interpreted that narrator as being the "voice of the monster" lol
winter plume
Prisoners have no background experience on military
Moreso they're just put into the complex with little to no training, and given weapons and items
toxic sand
Do this or die. And if you die, I just pull more prisoner.
vapid monolith
Also I think the term "prisoner" describes the players as "guys that get sent into a total dumpsterfire on a regular basis by some being named Warden to do tasks, that are stuck in some sort of system that transfers their consciousness into a body"

last saffron
wall of text incoming. So far from direct observation from gameplay a mining operation has contacted some sort of parasite, a mutagen or both at the same time. Said mutagen drastically alters its host organism, with males and females having drastically different functions. Males seem to be more combat oriented, head split into a massive jaw lined with sharp teeth and housing a massive tendril in their chest cavity. Females on other hand seem more skittish, their bodies covered in egg like pustules which they fire at would be aggressors, keeping some distance from their target. Both types also seem to have their chest cavities hollowed out. Additionally there seems to be a variation of those two, with male variant being almost giant, with increased muscle mass, while female variant acts as a sentry, patrolling a chamber it resides in while occasionally "probing" the room with tendrils, releasing a screech upon detection which agitates nearby infected. So far its not shown if the host needs to be alive for mutation to complete, however considering how very few corpses (which are mid transformation) are laying about and how many infected there are, i feel it doesnt matter.

something i dont understand is if the characters are being somehow mind-controlled or they move by their own will. dauda is a nigerian guy, which is the "bald" one with a simple gas mask.

'monsters' are normal in this planet the 'humans' are the actual aliens
lost ore

pallid coyote
@lost ore sometimes it says that the characters are prisoners and that makes sense since theyre pulled out of little stasis pods
lilac island
they are because we are the aliens
data mine the game you can find hidden files placed by devs
its arg
lost ore
yeah but when they are being dropped they emit a shorth breath like they are choking.
thats kinda weird.

well you see all the characters have gas mask
its hard to breathe in their atmosphere
or you know they could be nervous and takes a big breath to prepare to die lol

pallid coyote
plus being woken out of stasis is probably pretty startling
its probably shock or something
lost ore
mmm maybe. but when you go down the atmosphere looks kinda rare, with particles, maybe hinting that its infected as well
so they use the gas masks to avoid being more infected maybe?
lost ore
i wonder what would mean the title, lore-related
lilac island
the pods you come out of are obviously controlled by someone
lost ore
and i dont think its actually get the fuck out

Players get to play as a team of scavengers, forced to explore and extract valuable artefacts from a vast underground complex that has been overrun by horrifying monsters

Yes, monster are light sensitive.

Taking notes
toxic sand
But they do not get triggered by Glowstick.

It's always available, it remplaces the original flashlight
hybrid sphinx
Also Intrigues me why we going to a deep down hole to get some DNA sample from something we dont even know what it is
signal charm
So I think it's pretty cool to get one in the team, it's pretty useful when you have a lack of light
hybrid sphinx
Are those things humans transformed by some kind virus, parasite, fungus or alien?
signal charm
If it is some kind of virus, it's pretty legit to go down where the "original" is.
It seems like a virus or a parasite
floral vessel
For those who don't know the game/level takes place in Mexico, within the state of Yucatán in a town called Chicxulub. The significance of this location is that a real-life asteroid created an impact crater that was buried underneath the Yucatán peninsula located near Chicxulub, which is likely where the game takes place.
The game could have story elements tied to the real world Chicxulub Crater drilling site because as of May 1st, 2016 a team has drilled to a depth of 700 meters, which is equivalent to 2296.59 ft, and in-game screenshots suggest the game takes place 2523 feet below the surface which is surprising coincidence.
Final target drilling depth reached is 1,335 meters, which is 4379.92 feet which could shed light on how far the Scavengers can go down.
The asteroid brought a life-form with it, because the creatures have human anatomy they could be infected workers.```Data mined that stuff from games files?
floral vessel
reddit theory
signal charm
So more a parasite than a virus. 🤔
hybrid sphinx
I would guess a Parasite too
floral vessel
all that info is taken and theorised from trailers as they revealed location etc
hybrid sphinx
Because a virus would be infecting the Scavengers easily
A parasite unless its a brain one
signal charm
Just, I don't understand something with this theory. If this "human modified" came by this meteorite, why would they go deep in a Complex ?
hybrid sphinx
People say that the Scavengers are Felons that must go or die
More like a death sentencec
lilac island
They majorly look as if they take huge likeness from last of us fungal based infections, as well as the particles floating and gas masks needed ad the fog clearer tool it is definitely airborne so it is possible that is parasitic that just causes contamination to any one that breathed it and just second handedly spread
hybrid sphinx
If its Fungal
Maybe we are completely in the wrong here
maybe its some sort of Contact thing like the Thing
signal charm
Maybe an experimental test turns in the wrong way in The Complex, and we need to go the deepest possible to get those DNA Samples
lilac island
but problem is its like a fleshy fungus it doesn't really grow any where so unless its a unknown fungus that only grows on organic matter
floral vessel
Wardern landed in the asteroid, location was mined, once the asteroid was opened it managed to infect those working on site.
hybrid sphinx
And Theres must be a A Victim Zero or the The Real thing
floral vessel
Warden would be victim zero and/or founding father of the infection
hybrid sphinx
I think Warden is the Entity that, controls you and gives your the mission for going after the stuff
signal charm
Hm
hybrid sphinx
This is maybe the first mission of the game maybe we should have others like : Get some Fancy equipment
floral vessel
ahhh yea that makes more sense
signal charm
I don't think this is the first mission
hybrid sphinx
Can be the la st

When you look at the Rundown, we're litteraly in the middle of the Complex

i misread this "GTFO is about a team of four people trapped in an underground Complex, kept there against their will, forced down into the depths to carry out different objectives for this unknown entity called the Warden." thought they were going down to find "the warden"
hybrid sphinx
No no, This Warden guy, I dont know
toxic sand
Nah, the Warden is the mysterious guy that force you down into the complex. evil boy.
signal charm
But maybe the Warden is infected, and need DNA Sample to create an antidote for himself.
hybrid sphinx
Maybe he controls the complex
hybrid sphinx
And Is a sadistic and likes to see people die while fighting agaisnt monsters
toxic sand
More like.. If you don't go down into the complex, I kill you, If you do, you only get up with what I want to live another day.

unknown entity, so def not human, Ai or alien life form?
hybrid sphinx
Maybe a Guy, Girl,AI, Group Of People like the C-Counciouness from S.T.A.L.K,E.R
signal charm
What ever the Warden is, it's almost 4am here, need some sleep
Good bye guys, and good luck for the reflexion 😛
hybrid sphinx
Warden can an Alien posing as a Human too
When you go down the complex you can see bodies of other scavengers
floral vessel
reading the wiki "The enemies in GTFO are confirmed not to be zombies or aliens"
floral vessel
" the possible origins could be fungal or parasitic in nature that require a human host, given that the creatures exhibit human features and anatomy such as two arms, legs, and ears. When a creature suffers fatal damage green sacks are expelled as a result and “pop” when exposed to the surrounding environment, which suggests it cannot survive without its host and these potentially could be parasites that contribute to the host’s mutation."
hybrid sphinx
They were Human but now they are not
floral vessel
yea
hybrid sphinx
Ok, Scratch the Warden possible alien
We now confirm that War den is paramilitary group forcing felons to Grab DNA samples and fancy equipment to help them Develop weapons of mass destruction
floral vessel
👍
hybrid sphinx
Bio weapons and such
Maybe Government or maybe Private interests
Warden is just a cover

As you can see in the menu of the game.. You can see that they track everything of the scavengers

parasites are a speculated cause
infected/parasite go hand in hand

we do wear gasmasks
brave widget
Sure is a disease of some sort; it is airborne; also on login there is a mention of infection level. Probably are people in early infection stage being send down. Probably been imprisoned as a mean of quarantine?
neon lantern
i like that one ^^^
crystal raptor
its seems like the prisoners possibly are infected, maybe its really slow acting and the gas masks are just because they are deep underground in an area that probably has weirdness with its air
like areas without oxygen and stuff, or high pressure due to depth

are hsu's have a cure?

bold saffron
The character you are.
primal fox
we play as the prisoners
pulsar berry
why they hyave guns lol
primal fox
because they cant finish their objectives without them
thats also probably why we wake up from stasis already over the pit
pulsar berry
oh thats true huh
bold saffron
Well, when you extract you go back to the lift- so it's feasible that you get put back into stasis after.
primal fox
keycard*
i dont think so, but maybe
somebody had to have built it, which means the virus or whatever wasnt always there
pulsar berry
who are the hsus? the workers trapped?
primal fox
who knows
bold saffron
I think they're just bio-organic mass with resistance to the infection.
Since the HSU is a container.
primal fox
they might be workers, researchers and even other expeditions that simply didnt make it
pulsar berry
oh idk its crazy cuz they have full names \
bold saffron
The former person contained within has value for something.
We just don't know what yet.
primal fox
so what happens at the end?
bold saffron
Makes sense to me that the Warden would want them for research.
pulsar berry
i didnt make it lol the alarm killed me
bold saffron
You literally have to run from the HSU to the lift.
primal fox
i know the objective is to rescue someone, but ive never finished it
pulsar berry
u have to run zombie run style?
primal fox
the alarm killed my group each time too
bold saffron
Oh yeah.
crystal raptor
i don't think you even save them
primal fox
any tips for that?
bold saffron
It's rough to do with no ammo, since the enemies never stop spawning.
crystal raptor
you grab a dna sample and boogie
bold saffron
Yeah, run quick to the end, and make sure you hold up the exit as best as you can.
steady bane
primal fox
me and my guys wasted our ammo clearing a dead end
crystal raptor
they just keep coming im pretty sure, you just gotta get out of there
primal fox
we tried and got over run
bold saffron
Yeah, you just gotta GTFO.
primal fox
ha
bold saffron
And you have a security point to hold at the entrance for about a minute or so.
crystal raptor
yeah try and take the same path back out
primal fox
oh jesus
crystal raptor
good news is the basic level layout is the same
bold saffron
So you grab the DNA that's requested, and extract with it, for purposes unknown.
crystal raptor
jsut stuff within the levels is different
pulsar berry
you guys think they're gonn a put more objectives like find resources or like a tarkov style mode?
bold saffron
I think different objectives, definitely.
primal fox
maybe
bold saffron
Tarkov style, I doubt it.
crystal raptor
my theory is that you are working to get information about the cause of the outbreak or w/e
primal fox
its still really early so we dont know what theyre adding
bold saffron
I think this is a test by a governmental agency to test the potency and efficacy of a new bio-weapon.
pulsar berry
i really love the idea of a dungeon crawler like this go down retrieve and get out
crystal raptor
yeah someone said something similar earlier
primal fox
no, i dont think so
crystal raptor
or that the group using the prisoners is using info from the mine to develop weapons
bold saffron
Set the thing up to be run by an AI, and if you got prisoners, you got volunteers.
Literally zero risk if the installation is on a dwarf planet with only one way in or out.
pulsar berry
i think the researchers just lost all their research down there so theyre just sending prisoners to get it
primal fox
theyd be losing prototypes with each failed expedition
crystal raptor
i think the site is in mexico?
pulsar berry
and ther world is an apocalypse
primal fox
yep
crystal raptor
the running theory is that its in the mineshaft being dug in the crater of the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs
chuxuxuxxuxub
primal fox
probably
bold saffron
Or here's a fun twist- what if the AI is broken, with unlimited access to cryo-stasis subjects that it just keeps sending down there with no real greater purpose other than broken programming?
primal fox
so like the reapers flawed logic from mass effect
bold saffron
No, just like a broken program loop.
crystal raptor
thats closer to glados than the reapers
bold saffron
Yeah, Glados is closer to what I'm thinking.

If this game got super successful, and they had the means to do it and connections for the license.. It would be amazing to see the scavengers being able to go down even deeper, and encounter actual "Aliens" as DLC. Giving players the 'from the movie experience'...
Players would be like, "Now THIS... is what Colonial Marines SHOULD have felt like".. Dude, people would be on the game for forever if that actually happened tho.
Imagine having to work your way all the way to the Queen, and having to take her out.
last saffron
ehh, aliens would clash with the theme too much. A standalone game in alien setting maybe, but mixing GTFO with them wouldnt really work
pine hedge
By actual Aliens you mean Xenomorphs ? Aka the Perfect Organism ? 😛
last saffron
got an odd behaving "beauty" over here and managed to get a better look
the rest were acting as usual, except they reacted to moving even if they were in relaxed state, not sure if a glitch or intended
only females seem to react that way, males are normal
this one is unusual because she didnt react to light at all
lost meadow
@last saffron naw xenomorphs would work. You just tweak the map, instead of the xenos being in plain sight, they would be hiding. And as you progress they start attacking in waves. It could totally work, but might not be as fun. Also they would need to make it so the enemies climb on ceilings and walls.
lilac island
Totally, and the maps down deeper could be geared for Alien traversal, where they'd be in hiding places, camouflaged against black organic walls, in vents, spit from the ceilings (imagine you look up just to have this thing jump at your face). I think it could work, because Aliens can pretty much end up anywhere.
The beauty of classic horror is that none much is explained.. you just kinda accept. No one has to answer the question of 'how the aliens got down there', .. maybe they were down in the complex for YEARS in this nest that existed, and in order to scavenge further, they have to destroy the nest and eliminate the queen. Seems legit, and the threat would be entirely different than the current monsters. Alien xenomorphs would be sneakier, stealthier, some creeping up on players unexpected, (maybe if they are more alone and separated, you may get targeted), while others would attack you in group swarms.
lost ore
i have a theory. i think that some of the misteries told to us in the first trailer are solved right now. what dauda tell us is he "listens" people screaming at him, and after that he wakes up. my theory is: cause of all characters being infected to different degrees, they are connected somehow to the creatures of the Complex, which were probably humans before. after becoming fully infected, the sleepers become part of a hive mind,protecting whatever they are guarding, and attack everyone not infected who appears. seems that while in hydrostasis, the characters are sleeping and the sleepers are "talking" to them, that's why dauda says that he doesnt understand what they say but recognize them somehow, them wanting him to "feel what they feel".
lilac island
i think that they're just reptile monsters that were in the U.S and decided to overthrow the human race, then invading us which then made them mutate into another form of humans and then making us the reptiles in their stead, and now we must scavenge the U.S sewers to escape for freedom and prosperity! (idk im aussie)

Not the best quality screenshot, but I noticed some of the monsters take what looks like a praying position. Any significance?

i wouldnt call it praying, its more of them assuming a fetal position more or less. as strange as it is, when hurt people have a tendency to "curl up" or hold affected parts close to themselves
they seem to be holding, or trying to, hold onto their heads, same for some corpses
grizzled ice
we know that the common sleeper is a male and the one that shoot is a female but what about the scout or the giant one ?
last saffron
variations of both
tall boys can be either shooters or strikers, with same distinctions as "normal" counterparts
on closer look scout is also female
grizzled ice
so the taller bois are a mutation of the male sleeper and the scout is the mutation of the female one?

they dont seem to shred their clothing, rather just take it off
wonder if its compulsory, the infection\parasite causing irritation if the host is wearing anything, causing them to strip down eventually

last saffron
thing is, they react even if you shine on their legs. whatever infests them made them really sensitive to anything but chem lights
sacred jay
My two cents is the asteroid carried RNA that melded with some sort of deep sea organism that is very quickly evolving towards being landbased. When they enter the searching state they're using bioluminescence to try and trick something into moving, and a bunch of deep sea critters also have transluscent skin like the monsters
Could also explain the extreme light sensitivity
last saffron
Oh ye, the mining station is set in the crater from an asteroid credited with killing dinosaurs
sacred jay
Clearly they aren't trying to warn you away like a rattlesnakes rattle, so deepsea hunting tactics would make sense for why they pulse red and why their projectiles glow
pastel silo
yes, they are really light sensivite, but werid on a sidenote, jsut from a player perspective. i would also like opvote the idea of a walking sleeper,
sacred jay
AND the way they're all for the most part unconscious until they're stimulated could be a fragment of the extreme energy conservation needed to survive the deep sea
last saffron
it really is plausible that theyre conserving energy since theres no "food" nearby. it could also explain why there arent many bodies around
curiously, you can see that even dismembered parts are undergoing, or were undergoing transformation

that would be intense

(our mission is to get that sample) The Chicxulub Crater was formed 66 million years ago by an asteroid strike which resulted in a mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs. A team of scientists has a plan to drill for rock samples in the area. Only to discover, they have unleashed an unimaginable nightmare awaiting to roam the world
narrow scaffold
is that the story? Based on what I saw I assumed the warden just tasked us to go down into the basement to collect some laundry. And the basement is full of NEETs that have never seen the light of day and that's why they are covered in shroom looking things and do Naruto runs (that's my joke head canon)

If you want a subtle-mechanical lore script for a specfici enemy....
"Entity ID: Infection Type #037
Alias: Scout / Feeler
Appearance: Tall, lithe with a bulbous glowing head. Seemingly covered in various bulbous growths that emanate bioluminescent effects.
Threat Level: Moderate
Known Info: Entity designated 'Scout' seems to roam aimlessly in zones, typically found to be surrounded by groups of "Sleepers"~reference Entity ID-#02. Target will then periodically cease movement and curl backwards, before extending the growths scattered across it's head out in the form of tendrils.
Upon making contact with any living organisms, tendrils quickly reel back and the targets entire body will harden before letting out an ear-piercing screech to alert all nearby zones. Thus causing a "horde" to awaken and rush towards the alert.
Recommended Actions: Approach with extreme caution, utilize any methods to neutralize target with immediate results. Previous expedition results show the target can also be temporarily immobilized before the hardening-screeh process can occur."
Or whatever else...I dunno, it's hard to write this on my phone. Etc-etc.
Giant wall-post, gooooo!!
Please note this was written on a tiny mobile phone. An it was in regards to a general discussion about implementing obtainable-lore-info on enemies/environments/etc In-game.

If you guys are referring to the meteor and the easter egg in stuff.... I'm gunna steal someone elses' post and share it here. ^_^
quartz citrus
biostasis, we are in hydrostasis pods
alpine lantern
""At 0:24 (In the original teaser trailer here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-y_N-3t7tI&t=4s ) it flashes the words "Demon Tick," and at 0:42 the coordinates 21°08'57"N 89°29'32"W appear. The coordinates lead you to Mexico, in the state of Yucatán, in a town called Chicxulub. The name Chicxulub is Yucatec Maya language, where ch’ik means "flea" or "tick", and xulub’ means "devil, demon, or horns." Chicxulub is known for the Chicxulub Crater, in which an asteroid 66 million years ago struck the Earth and killed off the dinosaurs. Recently a scientific drilling expedition has gone to the Chicxulub Crater to collect rock samples from the site. The asteroid impact site and drilling team most likely tie into the game's underground theme. Thumbs up so people can learn about this Easter egg hidden in the trailer :)""
quartz citrus
wait... what if its the hydrostasis pods causing the infection?
last saffron
unlikely
tall anchor
also waterbears can only survive in a vaccum for a couple minutes
quartz citrus
no, like a mixture of the meteor site and the hydrostasis
alpine lantern
It seems the hydrostasis pods is how the corporation / warden / etc manages and views the status of the subjects (our characters) stats and injection site/delivery.
quartz citrus
because why else are we grabbing DNA samples from stasis pods with people inside them
last saffron
id say the pods can get contaminated, rather than just causing infection by being there
whatever it is is most likely airborne
in life, black lung from inhaling stuff was common in miners, could be applied here, however id argue a high tech facility will have air filtering

the deployment zone looks like something erupted
not just erupted, literally burst through solid concrete and steel

alpine lantern
Splices and clones them, then inserts them into our food. Obviously.
They need more subjects for research. |3

Santionans "Strategic Investors Group" thing makes me want to believe that it's for a new type of technology.
Whether it's for a biological weapon, immortality or for simply science itself is beyond me

i think Santonian is trying for immortality

Doubt it
alpine lantern
Well with the way the tanks/hulks can live with just their legs intact... They're on the right track for immortality! 😄
quartz citrus
well the mind transferring could reinforce it
whatever Santonian was buidling, im pretty sure they want it kept secret
last saffron
bioweapon research could be feasible. Whatever it is, its really effective in clearing things out while leaving equipment (save for doors) relatively intact
glossy cargo
I'm hoping the end will give us a good, unexpected turn.
last saffron
minus the giant hole ofcourse, ive zero clues what caused that
glossy cargo
It's possible that they just straight up mined it
last saffron
i was thinking an explosion first, but itd probably collapse the hole
i mean the drop zone shred, since it was part of the facility due to piping, steel shards pointed up
quartz citrus
the mining theory doesnt make sense, why would there be bent metal
is it plausible that whatever caused the hole, caused the infection
last saffron
id assume the entire facility is divided into deivisions, "C1" as it stands now being mainly storage
glossy cargo
I'd just assume that i'd be a company or multiple companies who mined out the ground like that, because apart from that I can't think of anything that would cause a near perfect circular gap leading very far down, unless the gap greatly decreases in size a couple hundred feet down - Then maybe.
Yeah, I was looking at that upwards force used to break through the concrete near the extraction zone
last saffron
yee i was talking about that hole, not the main shaft

It was as if something was a massively powerful amount of force broke through, which could only logically be due to an explosive, unless we have nuclear enemies.

the place appears quite humid due to fog, some zones to the extremes

Can I post screenshots I took in GTFO here?
quartz citrus
sure
last saffron
i posted a few so i dont see issue

I don’t think you’ll get in trouble evo

yess thats the one

thats where we enter from

And exit from
last saffron
fog is especially dense around it

Now, i'm no engineer, but don't those spikes look strange?
quartz citrus
ya, almost like teeth
glossy cargo
I understand that certain iron rods or cores can be used for heavy duty construction, but those look strangely out of place.
last saffron
i think those were part of main complex, twisted upwards by force since on close look they are appearing metal
they are really thick to be whats it called
the thing inside concrete
rebar
cerulean forum
They are very old and I. That time they could of been sharpended
last saffron
unless theyre are piping
quartz citrus
it doesnt make sense why they are all pointed at the top
cerulean forum
Or support rods
glossy cargo
I'd assume it be due to the fact that one, they're very strong reinforcement and two, the force used to destroy that floor was insane.
cerulean forum
And when they were ripped apart from age or whatever someone might of made a neater attempt to sharpen them to maybe get the creature impales
Impailed
glossy cargo
As i'm pretty sure anything weaker, like hollow piping, would just break off at the edge of the abyss, due to the fact that it's so weak.
tall anchor
Especially considering that the complex has been abandoned for a while.

That one on the right looks more like t should be there
last saffron
originally it was either a large chamber, or several smallers ones connected, judging by surrounding debris
cerulean forum
And there seems to be limited debre there
Like not much Ruble remaining of what was there

also i'm suprised you took it then, I thought I called C-Foam bad another time
glossy cargo
Chat log is saved through consecutive missions - A very strange thing
tall anchor
yeah I know
last saffron
i wonder if devs read this channel 🤔
tall anchor
I thought I called it hard to use in the middle of a mission
my gripe about C-Foam is that it takes a fat minute to charge up and then you don't know when it's fully charged
quartz citrus
hey so i was looking in another channel, and apparently this is from the press kit...
last saffron
yea ive seen
tall anchor
I'm pretty sure they are the HSU's
quartz citrus
maybe an early version of them?
but look inside of them, whats in there is not human
glossy cargo
Could be human
last saffron
heavily mutated
glossy cargo
They could be curled up into a fetal position.
Or yeah, what I meant to say is that they could have been human. But the one on the left still looks rather human to me.

100% experimentation room
glossy cargo
There really isn't a clear image to make a accurate assumption to what it was or is now imo
glossy cargo
4k image?
last saffron
theyre portable containment pods
quartz citrus
i have my doubts... but it does give evidence to the bioengineering theory
cerulean forum
Or maybe even a coltovation chamber or preservation room
Like to maybe spread whatever this is to other humans or to keep these particular mutations safe/especially secure due to how dangerous or rare they are
quartz citrus
but to capture them in such good condition?
cerulean forum
Maybe like the last of us fungus
How the longer it’s infecting it’s host the more mutated it can get

And also what u mean def not human

they are humans, well former humans

DNA wise they could be still related

human experimentation?
west apex
last saffron
certainly "curing" will outright murder
cerulean forum
Well hats the thing they would of had to of experimented
On whatever this is
Weather animal or human test subjects the warden seems already invested

Whoever maintains the complex is already alright with sending prisoners down into the complex against their will to fight horrific, nightmarish monsters. Therefore, I wouldn't be surprised if they just preformed human experimentation.

Oooooo new enemy type
last saffron
mind you, it could just be a captured infected, or an isolated person who later turned in its containemnt

That would be so cool

can someone zoom in on the blue door to see what the text says
