The Mythology of The Conduit

free image host


The Conduit doesn't have a whole lot of story, and what's told is mostly done through dialog before and during each of the levels. It's simple and not too involved, and that's turned some people off. The Mythology of The Conduit, though, is huge and it does a lot in explaining the premise of the game and what's going on. The thing is the mythology isn't handed to you on a silver platter like most gamers expect these days. No. The Conduit's mythology is something that you have to look up for yourself with the help of the many hidden clues in the game.

It's involved and it takes some extra work, but it's well worth it. The entire game is founded on decades of conspiracy theories, UFO mysteries, American history and even some Greek mythology. There's a lot to absorb, and I don't blame them for leaving it out of the game. It would have been nice if they promoted it more though.

The link below will lead you to some serious discussion on the game's mythology so expect lots of SPOILERS. If I were you though, I would find the hidden messages and do a little research before checking it out. There's a lot to be discovered and if there's a sequel who knows what else will be revealed.
