World Building: Locations & Creatures

Locations

The Lighthouse & Shore (Chapter 1)

• Atmosphere: Dilapidated, foggy, nautical horror.
• Key Feature: The Light. It acts as both a guide and a threat (revealing you to enemies).

The Mill (Chapter 1)

• Function: Processing unknown organic material.
• Inhabitants: The Sheep (failed experiments?) and The Sniffer (Manager).

The Orphanage (Chapter 2)

• Design: Institutional, oppressive, with hints of false care (toys, drawings).
• The Warden: Represents authority twisted into control.
• The Garden: Overgrown, symbolizing neglect.

The Factory (Chapter 3)

• Design: Brutalist, mechanical, devoid of humanity.
• The Conductor: Represents the systemic machinery that consumes individuality.

Creature Ecology

"Critters" (Small Enemies)

These small, swarming enemies infest dark corners. They fear light.

• Theory: They represent small, nagging anxieties or vermin feeding on decay.

The Pigman?

Seen in concept art. A hulking butcher figure. Likely cut content or DLC.
