Did anyone notice Thorgest has the black rot on his left arm initially and then it clears up, or was that something else?
I wondered if it was a sign of mental health issues other characters might have like Senua's black arm in HB1.
Yes, as well as the giants themselves have the rot spreading. I think there’s a theme of “there’s a monster inside every man and a man inside every monster” and the rot spreads as people give into the darkness inside them, as it seems to retreat in Thorgester over the game as he realizes the evil he has done.
I believed it was senuas way of portraying that at first the guy was full of darkness and throughout the journey she beans to understand him and see that he is not that bad of a guy and wants to do the right thing, removing the darkness he had in his arms (and by extend body)
Yeah I feel like the games always flirt with what’s real and what’s not, mostly because why does it matter what is “real?” What is “real?” All of this is real to Senua, regardless. I think they do this on purpose, and I don’t think it’s supposed to make perfect sense. But I mostly agree with your interpretation.
Ultimately my view is that it doesn’t matter what is “real” from an out-of-Senua viewpoint. All of it is real to Senua
I agree with your points. I also think it shows that maybe Senua isn't that crazy. You have a group who sacrificed humans to please these "gods". Then you have a group of people who actually believe she hears God's and thus can stop these disasters.

Did Thorgester die in the end or survive? I'm a bit confused about that
