I redid Haunted Heaths and put it in the IOE universe because Hollow Knight has a chokehold on me at the moment. Also a bit of lore for both HH and the IOE universe in general.
If someone looks at an undefined or semi undefined spirit for too long and from too many angles, it might start to poison their mind as they have no idea what they're looking at and it defies mortal knowledge of space and time. It's like looking at a being that doesn't apply to the same laws of space and time, they move in directions that don't make sense in 3D, and they can move back and forth through time with ease. That would really mess with the minds of mortals if they got frequent looks at spirits. Same applies with angels, demons, and other supernatural beings that aren't ghosts or bound to a corporeal form.
(HH) The beings in the labyrinth are probably on the more nightmarish incomprehensible side as they cursed the city to be essentially a trap, and possessed the buildings to be shifting to get inhabitants lost. A few good looks at them could drive someone insane from the contradictory nature of their existence.
(Also yes I'm putting Haunted Heaths in the IOE verse and redesigning the creatures to be based on spiders and moths, let's say it's a very earth like planet but with lots of ravines, tepuis, mountains and a lot of varying levels and very large oceans. It might have a crazy degree of polar axis creating very long days and nights and whole seasons. I wanted a Hollow Knight Silksong mixed with Brawl Stars and The Gaslight District vibe. Also it's not the first time I redid a whole setting and put it in a different universe because my creative vision changed.)Nov 6, 2025
