The Meridian build notes

A cancelled open-world game, working title Meridian, whose lore bible describes “a world where every religion is a corrupted save file of one original event.” The leaked notes include:

“Writers: do NOT invent new myths. Recolor the real ones. Players must feel they already know the story — the horror is recognition, not surprise. If a tester says ‘wait, this is real, right?’ we’ve hit tone.”

The studio’s cancellation notice cited “direction concerns.”
