[SPOILER] Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert*

[Alardem]

Are his sons zombies?

That would be a twist. But they seem to behave like normal children going by their own journals.

I'm now back in the Factory offices and noted more closely the note about how the offices were designed to be a facade for the factory to make people believe there was a workforce, even though there really isn't one (not a human one).

Also found another Mandus journal from August which he talks about how he hired engineers to built a lot of the machinery since they talked about their experiences constructing the London underground. That's where he mentions the Architect of his that talked of a Giant Iron Egg at the center of the Earth.

Near the end of Justine, you're forced to wander through a chamber filled with insane messages. Among them are messages like:

Gluttony
Spin the wheels crank the engine
What will that perfect sphere bring?
They who burrow waits beneath
The skinless one is waking
I am emerging
Plummet through the ancient city
Oh father

I'm not sure if Pinchbeck or Frictional had anything like this in mind when writing AMFP, but those messages definitely take upon a new meaning now...
