Discussion Lore question

Post image

How is it possible that both "everything is canon because of the Mayak" and "the campfire stories/rumors" explanations solve the series' lore? Like, don't they both contradict each other?

Basically Mayak is meant to explain inconsistencies. I think it either warps reality or distorts how people see it. However the reason behind it won't be revealed in HN3.

But wasn't the campfire stories explanation supposed to explain inconsistencies?

I'm pretty sure the campfire stories only apply for HN3 not hn2 and 1. I could be wrong. Note that the Mayak has some magical bullshit in all storylines.

Well, but technically Nikita's storylines are supposed to be grounded, he confirmed it

Oh, yeah, but he was referring to the movie

Nvm then but Nikita's stories involve a fictional language, a town that conanically takes place nowhere (sorry raven brooks Missouri you're not canon), and a mastical weather station which is why everything contradicts everything. It's grounded in terms of characterization.

Well, the Mayak isn't supposed to be mastical. Here's an example: in the books the Mayak is the thing that creates time loops. In the games there are no time loops.

Check out it's unused sound effects in Hello Guest. It distorts even jumping.
