![]() What's the deal with the "it thinks it's alive" conversations? There are a few of them from the statue people, but to whom do they refer? The QUBE? Milly? Some other construct? I thought they were implying that "Milly" isn't a real person but some kind of artificial human that they were experimenting on, Talos Principle style. Is the ending before, after or during that point in time? How did the QUBE manage to even take over the Eearth? For all of its technology, we've seen no indication that it has offensive capability Surely the QUBE taking over Earth would have taken some amount of time. When, inrelation to the events of the first game? When, in relation to the last time Earth was "normal?" When, in relation to when Milly went to the dig site. WHEN is this story taking place? I don't need a made-up year, but some frame of reference would be nice. It seems able to do so to a significant extent with Emma.Īs with The Surge, however, we're missing the keel of the story. My impression is that the QUBE is either keeping people in suspended animation to test them one at a time, Portal style, or else has somehow recreated the dead. ![]() The rest may be her dig team, or it might be random people. That's the only explanation I have for why Milly breaks into a statue-like monologue cut together from separate sound clips. I think this is supposed to be a post-apocalyptic Earth where all humans are dead and the only ones still running around are recreations. If she chooses to kill at the end, she turns into one of the talking statues. The whole thing is a test, I think to see if Milly is willing to "learn" (for some definition of the word), or if she's just going to try and destroy the QUBE, instead. She wakes up in what looks like a holding cell and is contacted by what we now know is an illusion - the tutorial voice, essentially. We're playing as Milly, who calls for help then collapses. We know the game starts with some kind of dust storm on red planet - possibly Earth with a red sky. After The Last Station and The Surge, I'm not sure I even have the energy to speculate about a game's storyline to the point of writing straight-up fan fiction. So here we go, huh? Another game which confuses "not telling me anything" with compelling writing. Well, this is a bit of an old thread but this forum seems to move slow enough that it shouldn't really matter. I think most of this is very solid and has a lot of evidence to back it up, but if you have anything to add, blanks to fill in, or questions to ask I would love to discuss more. ![]() Take me! My heart BEATS, but I want it to BEAT for you" Is that why it is turning people into statues? does that somehow give it life? "Please take me.
