The Chompettes are also revealed to not be the characters we meet, but past victims MC wont let go of, for one reason or another, they refuse to release them, and in passing comments and creepy snide, its revealed the Chompettes were killed in one night. for the sole reason you aren't aware of what you've done, because you choose not to remember. Maybe the spirit that's latched on to MC is keeping them alive so it can keep feeding? And their victims aren't allowed to leave until MC lets them go, which is accomplished in the OG demo. When MC gets asked how long it took them to perfect it, or what they are, their answers aren't shown, but it seems to be a large unbelievable number, as Karin calls you "funny" for it. We also know the game takes place in the Tatras Mountain, between Slovakia and Poland. A major event in Ukraine (according to google) Was the terror famine in 1932-1933. My guess for the year mainly surrounds the mentions of each characters backstory- They all talk about leaving Ukraine, starving, etc. Some of the letters are dated as early as 1794, 1826, and I assume the game takes place somewhere in the 1930s, though I may be wrong about this.
If you ask him what you are, he tells you to face yourself in the mirror, but when you try during gameplay, MC says "h#ll no." There's scenes with Karin and potato, when asked "how long you've been doing it," or what your secret is, they either scoff like a joke, or take note (like Potato.) Aside from the dreams, in the ending where cornbread (or Razael), is found, you can ask him one question. Karin is also the only member seemingly direly affected by the events, in the way it just sends her further down a spiral into becoming, essentially, a monster worse than MC. MC, even at the start of the game, thinks to offer Karin a dead rat they find. 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.
