So we are definitley going the Eldritch being route and not "remnants of pre-historic evolution", right?

Good to see this picked up officially, but also bummed that this means waiting one or two years for the TL to even catch up to Vol. 4. Unless they pick a faster release schedule of course.

I dunno, this is one time I'd accept the 'your holy site is actually a crashed spaceship that is overwriting the local people's minds and bodies to create its crew' a la Tommyknockers

Huh the stalker friend turning into one of em, tbh not a bad fate then being melted while still conscious like that one girl.

I think it's obvious now that the mountain itself is alive, and people who get too close to it for too long will either get eaten or converted into its "children". I forgot which chapter it was, but one of the more intelligent cave dwellers referred to that strange hole with drawings above it as some sort of "birthplace" (alluding to a womb?). And then we have the recent cave dweller who was being friendly to Hajime refer to the mountain as "mama", right as Hajime is approaching that strange hole.

We also get Riku's wife thinking she finally managed to get pregnant after she becomes a 'shroom creature... There really are a lot of layers to this story.

That stalker dude has a lot of nerve trying to playing the victim card when he was going to leave the main character to save his own ass and now he's turning to one of those monsters you got to love karma.

Tommyknockers was still eldrich bc King doesn't know how to write science so it was more like Alien Ghosts doing it.

I’ve never heard of Afterlight. Can I have a link to the license ?

Edit: I found it. They have a kickstarter for it
