Story Spoilers: Nyarlathotep?

[cronuss]

Something just sort of clicked for me while trying to piece together the story. I wonder if the "God" in this was sort of like Nyarlathotep from HP Lovecraft. He came from Egypt (the heart of the machine was a pyramid, and you see many pyramids throughout the game). Nyarlathotep also takes form through many "masks" (the pig masks scattered about).

When taking form in England (which is wheret his game takes place), he took the form as the Black Man, which, "Appears as a hooved, hairless, man with pitch black skin and caucasian features." Sounds like a pig.

Also, consider the following:

"He spoke much of the sciences - of electricity and psychology - and gave exhibitions of power which sent his spectators away speechless, yet which swelled his fame to exceeding magnitude."

"Nyarlathotep delights in cruelty, is deceptive and manipulative, and even cultivates followers and uses propaganda to achieve his goals. In this regard..."

"...he is also a servant of Azathoth, his father, whose wishes he immediately fulfills. Unlike the other Outer Gods, causing madness is more important and enjoyable than death and destruction to Nyarlathotep. It is suggested by some that he will destroy the human race and possibly the earth as well."

Thoughts?
