Read the book it’s even weirder
It's been on my to read list for ages. There is also an animated film of it that's a decent enough watch.
A LOT of symbolism. It’s pretty different from the game I would say it’s an inspiration for the game rather than a game of the book. Purgatorio and paradisio are pretty difficult to read too
It was a poem called the Divine Comedy, it’s mostly allegory, hence all the weird symbolism - was also written in Tuscan in the Middle Ages so is pretty difficult to read now especially after translation lol
Yeah I had to take it slow. I tried purgatory and paradise and it was pretty easy to be like “wtf is he talking about”
