This step was too easy! I was looking forward to spending all night banging my head against the wall trying to figure out some ridiculously complicated step!
But I guess I shouldn't complain about something being too easy after all that potion making.
The Monty Python reference cracked me up!
I loved the zomutt too, since I have one, and I collect zomutt pictures. *is a dork*

Maybe.. (Speculation)
The krawk is Mr. Alexander, and was sent to try helping the patients with this miracle cure.. The cure did the trick, so the krawk left after the three days at the asylum.. He then headed to Neovia itself, to sell off this miracle potion, without knowing that it had really bad side effects.. By then, it was too late, and people started turning to mutants and the asylum patients went even more crazy, so the krawk had to escape..
But that doesn't explain why the people in Neovia disappeared to start off with..
But that would be backwards, wouldn't it? The way I understand it, the people of Neovia disappeared after Mr. Krawley gave them the potion, and the spirit of slumber "cured" them. Thus most of the staff of the asylum were gone, so they send for help, then Dr. Alexander showed up.
I'm thinking that after having his fun in Neovia, Mr. Krawley went to the asylum to wreak havoc, giving the inmates his potion.
The people in Neovia turned into twisted forms of their deepest desires after taking the potion. When the Spirit "cured" them, he removed the potion's effects and made them intangible. After he removed the "cure," their twisted forms were amplified, and that's where we are right now.
Whatever happened, Krawley did NOT have the town's best interest in mind when he sold the potion to them. It's still up in the air whether he knew what would happen to them, but judging by his quick disappearance, he probably did.
As for Dr. Alexander, there's no question in my mind he's Krawley. He showed up with the elixir JUST AFTER Neovia had been "cured" by the Spirit. It's entirely possible the missing doctors were among those who had taken the elixir and then been Slumber'd.
Bear in mind the events above happened ten years ago, way before Gilly had stumbled upon Neovia or even graduated elementary school. Whoever this Lucy is has probably died by now, or is in that cell we just unlocked. I'll bet anything the purple flower is still alive, and it's probably the key to curing the elixir's effects, the "sometihng missing" Sophie mentioned. It might even be Krawley's failsafe in case anything goes wrong with the elixir.
