Backstorys are fun an all, but can we get some stories of the survivors in the fog?
nothing elaborate just some slice of life stories, just some dwight shenanigans were between trials he travels around different places and interact with other survivors

Sadly, the game's premise were all these survivors were trapped in an endless spiral of trials and campfire, although I imagine the trials would last much longer than the gameplay we experience, so maybe there are brief respites in hiding (I doubt it though).
I would have liked the lore to be a bit more than this. My headcannon (which I know is against the true lore) is that the survivors are forced into trials at random points whilst traversing the realms, with The Entity just trapping groups in these trials.
Those sacrificed are revived again and again, losing hope as they do, and becoming more scattered and confused. Those who escape retain memories and are able to continue onwards on their exploratiom. Makes it feel more like the trials are more a natural, digestive moment, as all survivors are trapped, but The Entity isn't conscious of them individually. The Auric Cells are more the reason for the illusions survivors experience.
I mean, if you look at the human body, when we eat the body goes through so many complex tasks to turn the food into energy, dispose of rubbish and alter the food, yet we don't even need to think about it. That's how I see The Entity.
I don't even know if The Entity is fully aware of the turmoil, and just sees the lives within as food to be digested. Benedict Baker sees it as evil in its purest form, but that's a human perspective. The Entity may very well be far more benign, relatively speaking, even though to humans it's a terror.

There are a few tome sections that go into what happens in and outside the trials. The Observer, for example, has one entry that describes how a survivor that escaped a trial went insane and had to be put down by the others. Another where he describes a survivor that escaped a trial, but didn’t last very long afterwards because of a grave injury.
