This section provides guidance on narrative outcomes after resolving the curse (e.g., idol destruction).
Upon destroying the idol (via true name sealing spell while possessing it), the dimensional slip collapses: blizzard lifts, time resumes, sky/stars normalize, whispers cease. Surviving villagers (non-hybrids/shibito) awaken disoriented, attributing events to a "freak storm" or mass delusion (mind control fade-out). Shibito/hybrids either perish or flee to woods as failed dark spawn. Cult remnants scatter or deny involvement, cheese production halts as ichor vanishes—economy crashes, leading to depopulation. Fire-purified ichor sites prevent resurgence. For characters: Shrine family finds peace (visions end); museum curator may seek Arkham for deeper lore. Broader implications: Global cheese consumers experience subtle withdrawals or dreams, hinting at lingering outer god influence. Possible sequels: Innsmouth-like ties (via Dr. Kurotsuchi) or artifact fragments calling new hosts. Survivors gain resistance (prior ichor exposure) but suffer nightmares, emphasizing cosmic horror's inescapability.
