The fact that shit went down in Greytown of all places cracks me up. Greytown??? Really, Tasmyn? Hilarious shitpost of a detail to write.

For fans that don’t live in New Zealand, Greytown is real place a little over an hour north of the capital city, Wellington. There is absolutely nothing going on there. No industry. It used to be a thriving settlement in the 1800s, but was bypassed by the railway in the 1870s and never recovered from that. Now it’s just a very small rural town surrounding a few over-priced shops (antique store, candy shop, lingerie store for mums, a few shapeless expensive dress stores for mums, and a few ~curated home decor boutiques~ etc) clustered around Highway 2 that you have to drive through on your way up north. There’s a Sunday farmer’s market that’s cute, but nothing special. It gets made fun of a little bit in Wellington because it takes itself a little tooooooo seriously as “New Zealand’s Most Beautiful Small Town 2017” (it’s cute, I have to admit) and because it seems to be kept alive entirely by rich farmers’ wives.

Cause. I have been NOTICING it a bunch. Intro song has it if u listen for a bit (the higher parts mimic it exaxctly.) Greytown has it in the background (act one) Haven't finished the game yet, I'm a bit slow/busy as fuck but STILL.

I am at act one, so I am still not sure if this a sequel or prequel, but the "impending doom" song is making me think prequel, and the upgrades are making me think prequel as well ( the spikes that Hornet can place) and something bad is about to happen.

The "Dies Irae" is usually pretty intentional to mean "Day of wrath"/ IMPENDING doom, for non- choir kids out there. And I've been hearing it in the background ALOT.

(Also if anyone who doesn't know what Dies Irae is; it tends to show up in media very often. As in, the Shining, the lion king, Kpop demon hunter, and even frozen 2, It tends to be included whenever a music composer wants to portray doom, soon.) It feels very intentional that the other parts of the silksong menu screen mimics it perfectly when you wait long enough to hear the higher part of the song.) Also from the very start it carries a "Dies Irae," kind of tone so...

Minor proof for my sleep-deprived ramblings:

Like from 00:57 and a bit onwards you can hear the words if you're familiar; "Dies iræ, dies illa" to begin with, and before that you have the beginning repeated over and over from the start of the song.
