With the new revamps we find some interesting new Musical and Red Lights setpieces.
Music:
Spooky Rocker Barn.
A music podium in the mountains (Folkets Park).
The Stage Gear truck loosing its cargo during a chase/attack.
The Party Barn.
Red lights:
Cabin on a hill.
House in Tornberget.
Who do you think are responsible? Iron Church, the Resistance, Ljuset commune, The Growing Tree, the Soviets?
Music would certainly help help keep the moral up, not sure if those places would deter enemies though. The best protection is to set-up such places on hard to reach spots, hidden and off the beaten track. Some did this very well.
And then we have these, maybe controversial, Red Lights buildings, which I in my innocence first thought were meant as art-galleries. So far I found 3 buildings, two of which we can enter.
I guess until the lore give us more clues we can only speculate. Still, I donât think they are meant to be brothels. The devs have made many strange scenes, that we still donât understand. Like the dead bodies laid out with apples and party hats (probably the work of the group who call themselves âThe Growing Treeâ).
About the Red Lights buildings I figure they can have a smiliar function at the Night Car wagon in Snowpiercer series (Netflix), originally a brothel but then used as a neutral ground for all classes (factions in this case) so people come there for games and trade. Rooms now function as Isolation Chambers for helping survivors with therapy perhaps.
It will take a delicate narrative to pull off a story combining the pieces related to Iron Church into something that keeps the player base intact and not just git clone âDead by Daylightâ or âWalking Deadâ theme into the game. The findings related to cult members who experiment with different robot specimen seem to do stuff that belongs to a much darker narrative then experienced so far. Pretty crazy stuff if you think about it.
I suggest following the âKaptenâ snuff boxes and barbell weights (notable some is the blue 1337g) to get a hint at what the cult have been up to. The neuroscience and biology described to successfully interface with a machine is one way that can be explored further with a mysterious background that can be expanded on. The cultâs way is uncertain what purpose and success has been achieved with a much broader narrative to expand on and certainly give more options for different characters to enter the stage of Generation Zero universe.
I never took notice of the weight that barbells have. Are you saying there is a barbell with the weight 1337 grams on it. Do you know its location? Or do I have to travel to all known iron church locations to verify. I know of leet speak, and that would indeed hint towards hackers.
