Sean Bean's character starts talking about the necessity of his actions - whatever they actually were - and how the anomalies will soon open up all around the world, essentially driving everyone into madness. The third act of the game suddenly begins and you're on a linear path toward an orange light.

Walking up to the obelisks triggers a cutscene where your compiled journal starts flipping in the wind and pages start flying out, one of which hits you in the face. Gainax Ending: After collecting all of the pages, you wind up in a snowy plain where a rough circle of massive, glowing obelisks repeatedly rise up and slam into the ground.This seems to be confirmed by a collectible note you can find in IMGN.Pro's next published game, Husk. Word of God is that you're playing as Vitaly Grazeniuk, a former agent of the Russian Natural Phenomena Research Unit who's gone rogue. Featureless Protagonist/ Protagonist Without a Past: At no point does the game ever indicate who you're playing as and why they've traveled to the Ural mountains.Then again, it's unclear whether the events of the game take place in our plane of reality or not. Exposed to the Elements: You can run around for hours at night in the middle of a snowstorm, and never have to worry about freezing.It all has something to do with the Russian government's experiments on an a spatial anomaly in the area. Boulders levitate in swirling clouds of fire, the sky at one point moves by at impossible speeds, and Noodle People made of smoke leave glowing orange footprints while they hunt you. Eldritch Location: Whatever the hell is going on in those mountains, it's not natural.Of course, it is up to debate how real the terrain actually is. This is a far cry from the real Ural range in that region, that forms gentle, rolling slopes. Darker and Edgier: In the game, mountains are presented as alpine, jagged peaks and the surroundings are definitely rocky.Big Bad Ensemble: The Russian government, Sean Bean's spirit character, and whoever/whatever Anton is.Arc Words: The name "Anton" seems to come up a lot in plenty of different contexts.Apocalyptic Log: From the Dyatlov Pass victims, the investigator who finds their bodies, and a few more unnamed people involved in the backstory.

You'll just have to guess and make up your own mind after the credits roll.
