For some reason, this vídeo started playing and looping while I was on facebook and I was wondering from where the hell the sound was coming from?! Looking through apps! Not even locking the phone stoped it hahah! It sounded like Rainworld and I was right!

I mean that's kinda the whole reason of why the Doll was invented in the first place if I'm not mistaken.

Post-post-apocalypse usually lends to "obscure remants of a past civilization" on top of a current/later civilization. And that leads to some really cool worldbuilding!

I mean benches in Hollow Knight mostly kinda make sense. The sewers Bench is most probably trash, and it being inclined and surounded by trash kinda helps that point. I remember I was saying "there is no way a bench in the Hive would make sense" and then they managed to give sense to it lol.

The Game is really not finished yet so we can't know for sure if there is something in the planned worldbuilding that would not make sense by it. Toby saying he was exitant at first says there was some reason. Also remember this Game doesn't really try to work with the same rules as Undertale.
