Just Platinum'd this fine ass mother hubbard, so it is time to unload the lore!
-Hedron and Polaris. I'm choosing to think of Hedron as a mother like being, with Polaris being the symbiotic offspring born like some sort of resonance symbiosis. Hedron represented co-operation and symbiosis while the Hiss represent assimilation. (I was sure worried for a moment that Hiss was gonna be the short hand of Hedron Resonance!)
-Coulda done with the conclusion being a bit more Hiss-centric than Brother in the Astral Plane drama. All you get is that they got in through Trench's ear. It got a bit confusing as I guess he was lying about it entering his ear while visiting Hedron's world, and they straight up just went to one of the burned slides at one point and that was the Hiss dimension? Could do with some clarification there.
-The Oldest House is definitely a play on Yggdrasil the World Tree, made completely obvious when you get down to the roots and see the etched drawing in the side of the pillars.
-The NSC Power Plant is the Northmoor Sarcophagus Container, no ifs and buts about it, thats him in there doing "the least a Director can do: keep the lights on". Which is one of the most horrifying things in the whole game really, if he's some eternal energy being now living in constant nuclear fission.
-Designation "Dog Neil" and the Dung Monkeys. Everyone disappearing from Ordinary wasn't the worst stuff that Slide Projector got up to back there. The Not-Mother feeding Tom and his fellow bullies its milk to make them more violent and regressive? Neil getting turned into a melted fucking dog form? The Slide Projector felt like this games play on the most famous SCP entries about the Mirror Devices and The Unclean.
-Alan Wake is trapped behind the spiral door in the Oceanview Motel and has been for 10 years? Slowly going crazy because his cognitive powers of creating eventualties and realities are screwing him up mentally. Or is the spiral door the mark of a parallel world and Alans fine in his own world, but managed to slip a letter to our Black Pyramid world? But then who is the Alan Wake thats a Director in Jesse's dimension. The Thomas Zane poet from Alan Wake either existed or didn't in Jesse's world. It's hard to tell what is a parallel world and what isn't!
Oh! And because both Poets of the Fall AND Old Gods Of Asgard exist in CONTROL, which is the one brought over from a parallel world? Poets I guess since Alan's world is also canon to Control's dimension?
-So The Board and Former are... a cause for concern. How do they relate to the Oldest House? We've done right by them here and protected the Astral Plane from those louts the Hiss, but, uh, they sure don't seem as friendly as Ahti.
--Oh and probably just a videogame easter egg thing, but I was wondering what the deal was with these TV's with fire on you find in hidden locations and around?
(EDIT: Oh, there's 6 of them apparently and smashing em in the furnace gives a crazy Ammo Refund gun mod)
Anyway, some darn fine lore spinnin' for the internet. I'm sure people will be driving themselves insane trying to find secret rooms like the Batman Arkham games had for many years to come.
