On the roof of the building and top of the mountain after blacking out? Brief moments of daytime where you see a girl silhouette in the fog? How does being an atheist shape your reaction to the Satanists announced plan? This should take a few minutes of the plot to create psychological tension. How does the economic relationship of the town and motel become an obstacle? The key to the bar is located in the motel's lake cabin, and this information is never revealed. There are flyers, notes, and signs indicating this. The townfolk worshipped the bar and lie dead (same as on a boat next to shore?). Alcoholism and isolationism plays a key factor in the development of the satanic cult in this alternate timeline. The smoke generated by orange fire symbolizes something of tobacco and evil to the satanists, but to the player fire represents their inner glow lighting the environment. White fire is the result of an alcohol with a very high burning temperature. It is found in the bar in the town. How did the keys and enemies get to their locations? Enemies took them there to prepare for an invasion by sealing off this area and gathering strength. Enemies are guarding high resistance areas made of _rubber?_ to concentrate lightning strikes to the motel's lightning rod to charge the pentagram. Why did the Satanists use the motel? Life evolved underground with an epicenter there like in that movie Pitch Black. The satanists kidnapped his girlfriend as a sacrifice and he has to go get her.
