![]() The behavior of the kikimora more reflects to Karin, I think, than MC. From Wikipedia ( i know they aren't the best source-) "It was believed that she frightens people, knocks travelers off the road, and also kidnaps children." MC Finds a child's sock under the floorboards, and a borderline ransom note in the bookshelf about a stolen child. Besides strangling people, its said in different tales they're also known for kidnapping children. Another notable mention is another spirit mentioned on the media pages, regarding different folklore, is the Kikimora, an evil house spirit in Slavic mythology that lives behind stoves or in the cellar, groaning for food. It seems like MC has gained a supernatural friend determined to keep feasting, as long as MC feeds it- and as long as "victims are drawn to this place," the Likho keeps eating. They were apparently also known to come and eat people. Whats weird about this to me is in some dialogue, I think its Mariah who mentions seeing the same sort of nightmares MC has that takes them over. ![]() The person wants to drown Likho, jumps into a river, drowns himself, but Likho floats out, to chase other victims." If MC isn't just super super old, the Likho was passed onto them, and they may be sharing memories of past victims. ![]() MC has dreams that resemble some of the folklore beings posted on Cooking Companions social media beforehand, such as the Likho: " an embodiment of evil fate and misfortune in Slavic mythology, a creature with one eye, often depicted as an old, skinny woman in black" (resembling MC's first dream?) It also furthers into the common ways someone meets or gains a Likho, entailing "Likho cheats a person and rides on his neck. Their guilt and inability to face themselves and let go keeps their victims trapped in a cycle with them, until MC allows them to move on. TL DR- It seems like MC has been controlled by a Likho, who keeps them alive and possesses them to feed, It seems like MC remembers memories that might not be their own, such as drowning and passing the Likho on- since its kind of confirmed MC cant die? Or is being kept alive by the spirit- (loooong seeming life span, comments on their age through arthritis, "being hard to kill" according to potato, and the letter dates all kind of lead me to that conclusion. I assume they're all addresses/ about MC since there's a lot that implies it's their past they refuse to remember. What got my attention the most was the letters dated to MC. Going through the game so many times, there were a lot of cool things I noticed over time. I'd love to hear input on anything if I wrote something wrong, or even just additional theories! I know the game is brand new so I'm really excited to see how public take on it changes as time goes on. After admittedly too long playing this game I am really eager to hear people's take on the lore. ![]()
