Monsters origin?

[RoyaleBeast]

heres my honest opinion, monster are in the begining but to keep tension for the first part of the game you only here them a few times, there never mention because well its better to keep a mystery and sometimes knowing ruins the coolness of it, while in amnesia its true that alexander controls them its never explain why there like that ingame. they serve one purpose, to scare us because we scared of them.

but dont worry frictional has mentioned what they are in a blog post.

"Our basic story designs only referred to the enemies as “the servants” and did not talk much about their appearance or where they came from, so I had a lot of freedom to make a fitting background story to the guidelines. The finalized idea was that these “servants” were actually beings from beyond that had been summoned into bodies of humans. Once inside humans, they did their best to deform the host into a body that they are used to control, shattering bones, tearing flesh and producing cancer-like growths. This in turned resulted in a scene where the player witness how some humans under great pain are taken over, showing how designing graphics can shape the story, as well as the reverse."
