My head Canon for 808. Peppermint created 808 to act like a normal cat, and use it to spy around. But after Chai synchronized with 808, she adapted to his personality. A good example is the cannon plan, no sane living organism or mechanical would accept that plan was good. But 808 like the plan as much as Chai.

Last I checked, it's been performing well both critically AND financially, so I'd say we're likely gonna get a sequel at some point...but IIRC Tango might working on a new Evil Within game, so we wouldn't be getting it any time soon. EDIT: Just checked. Around launch it was in the top 5 of Steam's best sellers. It's at about 38th as I type this.

[@Jaydenbb5]

Taking a guess here, but when it says "host synchronized", after that point 808 starts to share personality traits with Chai, and since he's a sort of goofy, laid back character, 808 is as well, which is probably why there's a lot of parts where 808 mirrors Chai, even down to eye rolling before the Korsica fight
