( spoilers and theorys below!! )
at this point i fully believe humans werent hunted for sport, it was to keep the infants from being able to ascend because they need a HUMAN body. the reason they were killed in bulk was to get rid of as many humans as possible at once. before the blackzones became a thing they used the cages to try and limit the infants abilitys to gain control. which they very much succeeded in. but at the cost of an extremely vengeful human left behind. bipeds realizing they need human bodys as vessels they tried killing humans as fast as they could before there were enough ascended demons to destroy the world. most likely not having been too much later from or BEFORE the cascade since in the vision there was a biped seen lighting a MATCH. finding matches at the current time would be impossible. especially a BOX of them that work. so the extinction of humans was either right before the cascade or not much later from it. but still being in clothes like loken wears. its hard to time if before or after the cascade is when bipeds started killing humans to keep demons from ascention. the main character was found in a case after he was burned and doctor wyatt was working on him. its even possible doctor wyatt was a biped since bipeds were well integrated with society since the main character knew their language but supressed it and english becoming pretty much forgotten by bipeds. its even possible the " downloaded memorys " are on doctor wyatts tablet as well. could tabitha even be alive as well possibly somewhere in another of those restoration tubes the fact he was burned alive but still able to be taken and brought back to life and or healed without any visible burns or scars or ANYTHING doctor wyatt may have even used a demon ( i call byte an angel since he is what the informed of carmine THOUGHT demons were ) to save him. wiping their memorys of everything before sending them into stasis together. its obvious something BEYOND medicine or surgery was used to completely restore the main characters body. and at that point that has to be one of the only options as he doesint even have a single burn or scar from being burned alive. but byte being made differently. possibly it being because he had no memorys and was blank and could only learn from you without any motives of his own like the other demons? or byte possibly being MADE by doctor wyatt for the main character? possibly wiping a demon clean to make byte and altering him to help the main character with abilitys to help keep him alive in whatever world he woke up on. whatever might be going on right now its obvious that the main character destroying the key absolutely ENRAGED the infants. but in order to understand the blackzones fully all the infants may even be set free from the blackzones if the key is used. soulcreek possibly even being what KEEPS the demons in the blackzones or at least draws them in heavily since its revealed that one left the blackzones and killed a mating troupe that was traveling. they arent completely stuck there. no matter what way we look at they are intelegent and smart. they knew " fix the key " would make its way back to the main character. a breach obviously creating enough news that they KNEW would get back to him. leaving the blackzones and create a scene PURELY to make sure the main character knew what they wanted him to do or else. they want the key to be fixed and used in soulcreek and whatever comes with that will be castastrophic. releasing something or maybe even stopping whatever force keeps them in the blackzones and freeing the infants to roam freely and leave the blackzones as they want. several messages being sent to him. the shaved biped hung. " fix the key " and killing a mating troupe as a warning to what they can and would do if he didnt. no matter what way we go loken is right. the more we reach in the more consequences happen and the worse off we are. but at this point weve reached the point of things going from bad to worse if we dont do anything. but it may not even be compairable to what may happen if they key is fixed and used. it may even bring glitch back possibly if its fixed. one of the only options there are is to rip off the bandaid and see what happens eventually. we will explore soulcreek no matter what happens. and who knows what that will cause. it could release the infants from the blackzones. or could release something else. whatever it is the infants are desperate for it to happen and the key to be used. given the fact their only drives are to kill and destroy the fact they WANT it badly enough to leave the blackzone? whatever the key will do will be in their favor. they are reckless but whats worse is they are smart about it. knowing exactly what gets our attention and how to do it. a group that keeps the population up being slaughtered outside of a blackzone by a demon who breached the blackzones saying " fix the key " and leaving one guy left alive to tell someone and spread it. its not only a message but a threat of the possiblity of much more then JUST that.
