INANIMA | SPIRA: Faith and technology

Hello, survival horror fans!

Many of you have asked us about the universe of INANIMA and its connection to Lamentum. We can confirm that both exist within the same universe, though each tells a completely different story.

Through a series of brief entries, we'll be dropping hints and details that will help you uncover the secrets that bind them together.

SPIRA: When Faith Intertwines with Technology (Part 1)

In the bright and seemingly rational world of science and technology, few corporations shine as brightly as SPIRA. With its flawless façade, groundbreaking advances, and a promise of a future shaped by innovation, it stands at the forefront of human progress.

But SPIRA is much more than what its towering buildings and carefully worded press releases suggest.

At SPIRA’s core—beneath layers of advanced engineering—beats a dark and profound symbolism. Religious references, especially from Christianity, are reinterpreted, taking on unsettling new forms.

El Greco’s Annunciation, filled with mysticism and divine light, tells the story of the Archangel Gabriel and his divine message to Mary.

In SPIRA, that sacred scene mutates. The Annunciation is no longer merely a celestial message—it becomes a data transmission, a technological prophecy, a new trinity: science, machine, and faith.

“Tria sunt unum.” Three are one.

Agnus Dei

Lamb of God. Traditionally, this figure represents purity, innocence, and the redemptive sacrifice of Christ—a symbol of hope and new life offered through divine grace.

But within the deepest chambers of SPIRA, another kind of “new life” is being shaped—not born from celestial grace, but crafted by human hands. The Lamb, now a machine, becomes a twisted idol. The symbol of redemption is transformed into an emblem of artificial creation.

The Archangels

The archangels—powerful figures in Christian tradition. Gabriel, the messenger. Michael, the warrior. Raphael, the healer.

In SPIRA’s hidden web, the archangels are reimagined as guardians of knowledge, watchers of transition—symbols transformed.

SPIRA confronts us with a disturbing duality: the dazzling promise of technology entangled with a dark reinterpretation of faith.
Why have sacred symbols been distorted and repurposed?
What new, twisted, and disconcerting forms of artificial spirituality are being forged behind SPIRA’s walls of steel and silicon?

The answer is undoubtedly far more profound—and far more disturbing—than SPIRA’s pristine mask of science and reason dares to reveal.
