IS SIMON A ROBOT?

[213]

the monster is a robot who has been exposed to the infected structure gel. it likely contains the consciousness of someone who has experienced a psychotic break.

we know it is a consciousness because the machine is incapable of that level of intelligence. and we know from fricitonal game's past work, that they draw from the occult and supernatural. a simple "ai reached singularity" explanation simply would not suffice. in fact, if the mystery is maintained all the way until the very end or even never revealed, it would be scarier.
