heartbreak theories
I played as female and got the impression that the patient was male. The flashbacks were confusing to understand and reads like they were trying to summon an eldritch horror. And admittedly, these sections seemed to have rushed writing compared to other content that was previously in the demo, but just my opinion.
No idea what the black rectangles are supposed to be except that they “activated” at deeper levels of psychic(?) penetration. Or perhaps they induced the deeper state of penetration. Deeper levels were linked with what I’m guessing is a greater field of psychic influence.
The PC said they were more psi sensitive, or rather, vulnerable, especially to pain and anger of other after having their flashback which could influence their own psyche towards unstablility. This presents a possibility that that the incident unlocked greater psychic power for the PC. It also leaves me wondering whose pain was Heartbreak projecting onto everyone else, if that’s what they were doing? Their own insanity from the human experimentation, or the insanity of whatever the thing is they brought back with them?
Just to throw theories out there(without definite checking), if Heartbreak is always the same gender as the PC, and if telepathy is a rare gift, and if lab grown humans are a definite thing, then the PC could have been cloned or grown with Heartbreak as the base, if not genetically related in some other way.
