mercury // PSYCHOPOMP 2

Mercury has pale skin and an "abstracted" black and white face with short black hair fading into it; although his face changes, his face usually is asymmetrical with one eye on the left side of his face and patterning on the right. He wears a light blue shirt, a black suit, and a tie.

Trivia
He bleeds "bright red."[2]
He has had "many different names in many different eras," and like the main character, giving him whatever name feels right is suggested to understand him.[3]
His name is pronounced as "Croos Near Col Ven."[4]
The name Crusnr Colven likely may be a mixture of both Latin, Hindi, and other roots. [5]
He "would listen to lounge music or something similarly 'Sleek Businessman'" according to the developer. Although he may not have heard it, the developer also stated that "Once in a Lifetime" by Talking Heads is relatable to his life and current situation. [6]Mercury's facial expressions are dictated by his mental state and are not under his control.[7]
Mercury can eat, with the food falling into the darkness like a gradient.[8]

The "World Beneath" (Layered Reality)
The core concept of the game is that every mundane building—be it a school, a hospital, or an office—is merely the "skin" of a deeper structure.
• The Catacombs: Deep beneath these structures lie infinite, impossible labyrinths. When the protagonist goes down a basement, they aren't just going underground; they are entering a different dimension that defies the laws of physics and architecture.
• Deep Descent: The deeper you go, the less the world looks like human construction and the more it looks like the inside of a living, breathing organism.

2. Flesh and Machinery (Biopunk/Body Horror)
   The aesthetic of Psychopomp is a gruesome fusion of organic matter and rusted industrial technology.
   • Living Architecture: Walls are often covered in pulsating veins, skin, or mucous membranes. Pipes might pump blood or bile instead of water.
   • Technical Fusion: Machines, monitors, and elevators are literally grafted into meat. There is no clear line where the "machine" ends and the "organism" begins.

he's an anxious person, and if something bothersome happens once, he'll avoid it in the future.
