How much should i know?

Hi, im new to this game(idk if 11h is much)

Just finished the survivor going down into a lake of gold with a giant being, I want to know about the lore but i want to avoid spoilers.

For now all that i understood is that I talked with 2 semi god beings, one gave me light and the other one gave me the hability to comunicate, the one called 5 pebbles told me to go down to break the cycle or smthing like that and so i did, but i feel like I am missing something.

Do i get to know more later or did i miss something?

Also I am loving the game slugcat is my new fav animal

Thanks for your time internet stranger, hope you can help me <3
