Although officially the second section of the games is set in [[Greece]], there are some information that explains why the location might be Turkey instead.

The Greek architecture which is present in these levels might convince you that the levels should be taking place in [[Greece]]. But the folk who originally populated Phrygia were from Greece and they bought Greek culture, music and architecture with them.

  • Truckdriver: I didn't sign on for this. Not devils and shadows. I'm just a truck driver.
  • Kurtis: What? You drove here?
  • Truckdriver: Four days on the road, from Turkey. Long way. Long way.
  • Kurtis: What did you bring here? What were you carrying?
  • Truckdriver: Death in five tons of stone. The Sleeper. Drove here, then they grabbed us. She locked us in here with her hungry pet the screamer. The Proto!

There are also crates visible in the Strahov Fortress level labelled "Turkey", implying that The Sleeper was brought there at the time she infiltrated the place.
