MAJOR SPOILERS

Since completing the main story (nothing for the tower yet) I have read numerous interpretations and have made numerous thoughts myself. This one seems like the best to me. Curious on your thoughts? Please don’t discuss tower story plots here as I have not done that yet. Just trying to grasp the main story, and piece together all the other symbolisms throughout the story. This article gives a general story idea very well I believe, but does not discuss hardly any of the symbolisms of the game. Would love to hear your thoughts or other explanations maybe you’ve found that are also really good.
