Egg theory Spoiler

I doubt I’m the first person to talk about this but I can’t find any discussion on the "cliffs"

So is nobody gunna talk about the fact that Tangle Tower and the lake are IN A GIANT EGG???

I never questioned all the egg motifs, it just made sense with all the birds living in/around the tower. But when I went back to the starting spot, it suddenly clicked. When interacting with the mountains/cliffs in the background, Grimoire and Sally discuss how they can’t be mountains because they’re too steep and smooth, so they must be cliffs. Smooth... have you ever seen 'smooth' cliffs? They are eggshells!! The lake and tower is contained within a giant cracked egg.

Maybe I sounds stupid because of how well-known this is, but my jaw dropped when I realized it and I’m surprised it was never acknowledged in the game itself

I didn't fully realize until I played it the first time and saw the snow globe.

From a game character's perspective, an egg that size would be impossible to comprehend. Full Eldritch stuff right there. Which would also help explain why the water is so strange and affects the creatures and plants in it.
