That Shadow

[spukrian]

"The Shadow isn't some vengeful spirit, it is the universe catching up with itself."

Eh, personally, I suddenly think that the universe is inextricably evil if it could start leaking bloated red globs everywhere. What is this quote trying to say, anyways? Is the Orb somehow "above" the universe, and the universe is like a space around it, and moving the Orb makes this "space" try to catch up with it? If so, why do things like red goo start appearing when the Universe "moves"?

The universe is not inherently evil, it just exists. I don' actually think that the universe or the Shadow are sentient. I such a case, they are unable to make any moral judgments. They just do what they're meant to.

I see the Shadow as some sort of immune system of the universe, the red goo is just the antibodies so to speak. Or maybe the red goo is like the blood clotting from an open wound. The Orbs would be anchors, keeping planet Earth from spinning away from it's orbit.

Again, the shadow consumes your mind, your body dies yes but your mind is within the shadow, anyone' else's mind is also there, the game really explains it.
Pretty much you can have infinite conversations with victims of the shadow.

Where in the game did you find this information?
