One thing I find interesting about the game is that its plot it cryptic not just because it is as tattered as Hallownest, but also because of the way characters talk, almost like their dialogues were written in a different language and then converted to English. In fact, it only clicked for me when I got to the Grey Mourner, with how differently she speaks even from other NPCs.
