Reporting in, Agents.
After a few Community Logs going on in the past few weeks, we’re back with a new Developer Diary. We hope this will help you prepare more effectively for Early Access tomorrow, on 11 August.
We’re diving deeper into the lore and various types of anomalies in Whisper Mountain Outbreak. Some of the information bits can be found in the Mission Briefing and the written notes left in the field. Joining us once again is Kriswin, the supervising artist, who you may already know from the first Developer Diary.

This time, we’ll start things off with some lore of Mount Bisik, introducing some anomaly types that B.R.I.M. had encountered, and share some tips on investigating effectively. As you know, you can always gather more information on the mission briefing and some notes left over in the field by previous survivors. Hopefully, this can provide you with some additional information to help you with your next mission.
As an Agent, learning the basics is fundamental before going into the field. Prepare to take notes and review classified information about the undead anomalies!
💬"Glad to have you back, Kriswin! Let’s get started with some lore drops! Our agents want to know about what’s going on in Mount Bisik.”
Can you share some of Mount Bisik's historical lore that led to the outbreak?
Kriswin: “Thousands of years ago, a formless entity from another dimension crossed into our world, radiating an energy that could disturb the human mind. Those who harbored intense negative emotions like anger or hatred were especially vulnerable, falling into madness and violence. This influence led to wars and mysterious outbreaks that took many lives.

What is the cause of the infection, and how does it correlate to the ancient entity within Mount Bisik?
Kriswin: “I wouldn’t describe it as an infection because in Whisper Mountain Outbreak, people don’t “turn into zombies” through direct contagion like the viral or fungal infections in other popular series. Anyone who enters the area affected by the entity’s radiation is already exposed. It’s just a matter of time before they start showing symptoms like hearing whispers in their head, feeling intense heat in their body, hair falling out, and a growing surge of anger and hatred that drives them to attack others until death.
In Whisper Mountain Outbreak, the undead aren’t mindless creatures driven by hunger, they’re vessels of pure rage. Once a person dies under the entity’s influence, their body rises again, more twisted and grotesque each time, attacking anyone who dares enter their territory. They don’t bite or feed. Instead, they lash out with whatever tools or blunt objects they can find. They’re
