Which geological feature for the real Zokor is analogous to the structural prerequisites demanded by the game's architecture?

The geological stability of the soil layer supporting the burrow

There is a direct analogy drawn between the environmental factors securing the real animal's survival and the requirements for digital progression. The geological features that directly impact the real Zokor's ability to maintain its complex burrow systems—such as the stability and composition of the soil layers—serve as the analogue for the prerequisites demanded by the game's structure. In the game, these structural prerequisites are tangible elements like specialized tools and necessary Relics. Just as unstable soil threatens the animal's underground home, lacking the correct Relics or gear prevents the hunter from effectively navigating or unlocking further sections of the digital Zokor environment.
