Social Context
The lantern enemies in Black Myth: Wukong represent a poignant reminder of the consequences of social ostracism and neglect. Their ethereal forms, once bright with purpose, have dimmed and flickered into obscurity, mirroring the isolation and forgotten stories of those marginalized by society. The game’s depiction of these enemies serves as a social allegory, encouraging empathy and understanding for those living in the shadows of exclusion.
