#if anyone has isat questions please send them to me i love rambling about this game sm

[vee-lociraptor]

hey idk how well-verses u are on isat lore but i am exceedingly curious about 2 things so id you have answers id love to hear them

1- was everything always black and white ? is there a way to add or remove color ? and if so is that important at all to the plot ?

2- how did siffrin lose their eye (unless they were just born like that which is cool too)

flapping my hands i am indeed Well Versed in the isat lore!! under the cut bc i dont want to spoil a mutual who hasnt seen some of this

so for the first question, canonically colors used to exist in the isat universe. there's a lot of theories about how this happened, like a war or a craft experiment gone terribly wrong named canonically, but no one knows for sure. in the secret library that you have to access to find a spell there's a book on color theory, and while characters are generally aware of the idea that colors existed at one point they are not particularly interested in this. it's kind of like the current idea that the world used to look entirely different i guess. generally understood as a concept, some people study it, but the average person has too many other things to think about to care or acknowledge this much at all beyond it being a vague idea.

HOWEVER!! colors are seen at two (2) points in the game. one at a moment where siffrin is trying to remember something that can't be remembered and another at the end of the game when the world is breaking. the only other book on color theory in the game is in the observatory, a room where you get some of siffrin's lore. in this book it's discussed that very rarely, people are known to see a weird shade in times of immense trouble, or when something breaks. so colors do still kind of exist? there's red at two points in the game, when siffrin's mind is breaking and when the world is ending.

second question!! this one's less fun and kind of just makes me sad. siffrin lost his eye shortly after he met bonnie. there was a sadness (monster) coming after bonnie and they were the only one fast enough to get there on time. the sadness took out his eye instead of killing bonnie. there's more to it than that and the game goes into detail about how this affected bonnie and siffrin and bonnie's relationship in a way i think is really neat but that's the gist of it
