Can't say much, it's heavy spoiler territory.I don't read Berserk. Give it to me in slice of life manga terms.

Isn't it "your worth", not peace?I am buying into the theory that the guy was a physicist who went crazy over losing his wife and kid. The whole game is him coping with it through nightmares and such.
Lots of crazy pregnancies in this story, umbilical cords, unborn ones. I almost want to say his wife had a miscarriage and died from it.
In the "bad" ending, Gerhman kills you but you "awaken" in the real world with the Doll saying something like "may you find peace in the waking world".
COME AT ME GAF!
There are notes throughout the game that say "the Spider of Byrgenwerth conceals rituals," or something to that effect. This, along with the fact that you're able to see the Great Ones and their moon once you kill Rom, make it clear that Rom was essentially pulling the wool over the eyes of men. He created the veil that kept people from seeing this alternate plane of reality.Wait, when does the game say that killing Rom breaks a contract?
Right, but the OP says the game says killing Rom broke the player's Hunter contract. That is news to me.There are notes throughout the game that say "the Spider of Byrgenwerth conceals rituals," or something to that effect.

The enemies there are highly reminiscent of college students.Lecture hall probably relates to the person's own subconsciousness. It's no surprise that the Lecture halls are gateways to the two Nightmare zones in the game.
Maybe the main character was a teacher himself by profession.
Oh, I don't know about that.Right, but the OP says the game says killing Rom broke the player's Hunter contract. That is news to me.
Even in the ending where you wake up the "dream" remains -- you still see the doll kneeling at your tombstone. I think It was gratly inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle -- "The Dreamlands," a vast, alternate dimension that can be entered via dreams.
The goal of the Cainhurst Queen, the Great Ones, and the Church seems to be the ability to procure, manufacture, or simply have an infant Great One (or in the case of the Vileblood, an equally powerful Child of Blood)
Queen Yharnum is an undead/beast pregnant with some manner of child. Was she a first attempt at doing it?

Today, the two-story Lecture Building is adrift in the nightmare, but once it was a place of reflection, where scholars learned of history and archaeology.
Perhaps it still is, as the students in the lecture theatre appear to await the return of their professor.
Queen Yarnham is actually the main character's wife in real life! The loss of child is the nightmare that fuels the events in Bloodborne and "killing" the child in his nightmare allows him to slay the nightmare and return to the real world (or continue on the nightmare if you make the choice to do so).Yharnam is the final boss of the Chalice dungeon.
It looks like she is the start of all of this paleblood stuff. I don't know if the Chalice dungeon is transferring you to the past or not, or the Hunter's dream is a gateway to the past/present and using the ritual allows you to travel to the past.
Anyway, she has a baby inside of her...the baby is crying like the baby above the Nightmare castle.
She creates bunch of blood and standing next to a fountain of chalices and blood flow.
Maybe those beasts you killed got these chalices from her, and that why they dropped them.
And you meet her outside the dungeon one time as well. She is standing outside the Wet Nurse room, listening to the baby crying like it is her baby.
But she is a ghost outside of this world...so is the person inside the chalice the past?
And when you killed the baby/Wet Nurse event, the player receive a special message: Nightmare Ends. And you can return to the Hunter's dream, but the workshop is burning down.
This baby is the root of evil imo.
Oh, that was Yharnam? I killed her. Is that bad? Haha. I learned from the rest of the game that leaving NPCs alone is bad. I killed everyone in the Ward, too.Yharnam is the final boss of the Chalice dungeon.

Strangely enough, your player character has the ability to become an infant Great One by eating the Umbilical Cords and slaying the Moon Presence, the Great One implied to have created the Hunter's Dream.

Hm, maybe the church didn't want the red moon revealed? And I think hunters are allied with the church so revealing the red moon is going against the church? I forgot where I read it but apparently the old dude hid Rom in the lake on purpose from someone else.
Ah.Sorry, that was a mistake. I misremembered it - it says the "ritual secret" is broken.

So...your character brings the Great Ones out of the dream world and into the real world?
Haha. I am not there yet in the Chalice Dungeons. Just got to the third set of stages. I didn't know they were part of the story. What are the Pthumerians then?She isn't a NPC that you can interact.
She just looks onward toward the baby...Fricken eerie since it looks she is yearning for that baby.
And since that baby fucked me over in the Chalice and hearing that baby crying getting louder, I killed her and the baby without a second thought.
Is the insight being tied to your ability to see the Amygdala earlier true? I see it mentioned but no confirmation.

They aren't actually. The game implies Hunters have existed well before and separate from the Healing Church and its going ons.
There are Church Hunters, but not all Hunters are of the church. Which leads me to believe that the plague of beasts isn't a Yharnam specific thing.
Yes.
You can see those spiders at the church ward.

Sky changing is only story related.Just the spiders or does the sky change too? I'll have to beat Father G in the morning and test that out. Currently sitting at 57 insight and I don't see any changes.

Doesn't the item description of the Pthumerian chalice mention what they were? I'm not at my console so I can't check, but I was under the impression they were similar to Great Ones, and they built the labyrinths. That may be completely off base though, I'm not sure.The Pthumerians are presumably ancient people and civilization that predates Yharnum, considering the age of the labyrinths found underneath the church.
Shiiiieeet, wish I'd known about that. Oh well, that's what NG+ is for I guess.I will say I'll be pretty bummed if the game's biggest secret ends up being getting a kind of okay rune from the brain in the nightmare by doing the Make Contact gesture.

there's still the beast transformation which noone has yet been able to do

I sincerely believe more content will get patched in. Some things feel unfinished, like covenants. There is literally no reason to be a part of one and participate in it as far as we know.I will say I'll be pretty bummed if the game's biggest secret ends up being getting a kind of okay rune from the brain in the nightmare by doing the Make Contact gesture.
I thought that just ended up being the claw and the little meter usage.
Some item descriptions and I believe some NPC dialogue. The way i saw it was Yharnam as just caught in between a rock and a hard place. The plague of Beasts being a natural occurrence of the world as a whole and then the lovecraftian bullshit added on top just made the city absolutely crumble.
ENB hinted in one of his videos that there's more to the beast pellets and the meter. Also there's a rune which states +50 to transform...so, yeah.
