Hi, everybody, I just finished Zeno Clash 2 yesterday, and, after doing some extra reading looking for plot details and such, I'm still intrigued by the world of Zenozoik. I must say that ACE Team did a fantastic job when it comes to world building.

I hope a dev sees this and responds if possible, but if not, I'd still like to discuss some plot details with the community.

Ok, on to the questions/plot details:

SOME SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW

By now, I already know that the world of Zenozoik is supposed to be Earth, with the actual Zenozoik being in Chile (I can't believe I didn't pick that while playing the game; the Moai on the West border/the island should have been a dead giveaway). I also know that there is a civilized world beyond the borders, which collectively decided to ban the chimeras to the land of Zenozoik.

Now, my questions (not sure if I should called them questions, it's more like things that left me intrigued) relate to the nature of the outside world, and some of its history. Like, what caused the chimeras to start appearing? I'm not talking about those created by the East Golem, but about the ones that got banished to Zenozoik (after all, the Lost Tomb talks about the early Zenos being chimeras). Also, why did the world decide to banish them to their own land, and, more specifically, why the region of Chile? Something must have clearly happened there, which is why the world decided to use it as a chimera reservoir/prison. After all, I don't think any country would willingly give their land to a bunch of savage monsters, which is how the chimeras were seen (or at least that's what the game implies).

I also have curiosity about the Zenos' history. I find it somewhat fascinating that they've apparently devolved, becoming more brutal, considering that there used to be Zenos that kept a written record of their history. It makes me wonder what caused them to forget pretty much all of civilization.

And then there's the Golems, and the current state of the outside world. The game seems to imply that the Golems are humans who volunteered to become cyborgs or something similar in order to watch the borders of Zenozoik, perhaps for all eternity. Even then, they don't seem to recall their past lives, at least, that's what it seems like to me. They simply got bored on the job, and while the East and West Golems died, the South and North Golem decided to mess with Zenozoik. Something that makes me curious is that, during the final battle, the Golems talk about how they lost contact with the outside world, and when Kax-Teh is about to kill himself along with Xotl-Teh, saying that "they" would send replacements, Xotl-Teh says something along the lines of "it could take years for them to arrive". This makes me wonder if something else happened in the outside world. Even though we do see what appears to be a city during the battle with Kax-Teh in Beyond EndWorld, there doesn't seem to be any activity on it, and the red tone of the sky doesn't make it look like the outside world is doing well.

As a final point, there is FatherMother. I still feel pretty torn in my opinion about him. On one hand, what he did is terrible, but after hearing his story, I kind of feel sad about him. We have a creature that's older than most (if not all) Zenos alive, and that is the last of his kind. Not only that, he's the only one of his kind, as far as he knows.

Well, I think that's enough for now. Once again, I must congratulate ACE Team for the fantastic job they did on the game; I really enjoyed the story, and would love to see more of Zenozoik.
