Im hoping some of those more knowledgeable would help me fill in gaps with a quick summary (or not so quick if you would like to spell it out for me) on what the entity is whats going on why and maybe provide a spot of proof?

I want to know more about this game and its lore but from reading whats in game I keep confusing myself

thanks in advance :D

    The entity is a godlike being, who takes people who show powerful emotions like hope because entity feeds off of powerful emotions so it conducts trials and the killer is supposed to supply substance to the entity which is the survivors so that’s why survivors are sacrificed.

    I think the entity takes killers like they do survivors like they had strong emotions or they showed killer instincts when they killed. But sometimes the killer doesn’t want to kill so the entity tortures them so they will kill that’s why trapper has hooks in his back and why the nurse screams when she uses her power because it hurts her in order to subdue her.

    could I ask for the addition of some more obscure lore?

    Ive seen the name in game and in the forums but who is Vigo? and apparently there were experiments on killer? whats that about?

    an additional thing I thought of that Im curious on is the origin of the currencies and the storys behind them

    being bloodpoints the iridescent shards and the auric cells

    @Detective_Jonathan from what Ive seen youre an expert on much of this stuff do you have any answers?

    Sure thing man, let me see if i can crack this one.

    First off, Vigo: Vigo was a survivor that was in the realm of some time much like Benedict, he was the only one as we know of who was able to bend the rules of the fog through the use of his offerings such as "Vigos Shroud, Vigos jar of salty lips etc" Vigo is also the supposed creator of the hatch. It is speculated that Vigo is long since gone into The Void, which is a place that survivor goes when they have lost all hope.

    As far as Bloodpoints and Iri shards go, i believe that they are a somewhat phantam like aura substance, think of like how Freddy absorbed souls in the last nightmare movie. When they go to sleep (Which is where they access the bloodweb) they release the bloodpoints into the web to buy the supplies and things that they need to help them out.

    Auric cells are a mystery but they are biological in nature, while they are store currency to us, most of the survivors don't know what they are.

    I hope i answered what i could, if you have any more questions feel free to let me know.

    While were here since I am a newb with lore in this game can someone tell me what happened to Benedict during the hollowed blight event or is that still kinda obscure?

    It is kind of Obscure as the only thing we have left from his Writing was that The Entity found him, we don't know if this means he was killed or sent to The Void.

    how would people feel if he was "captured" and turned into a new killer/survivor?

    Ive been looking forward to him possibly becoming a killer for years

    Well, he's basically still surviving from what the devs have told us. Every survivor we have now he has met already, i think this is all leading up to when The Final Chapter releases.

    There weren't any notes about killers/survivors/realms from Benedict from Hallowed blight event tho.

    Errmmm I'm pretty sure auric cells and bloodpoints are just a gameplay element and don't exist lore wise
