Hey, so someone finally managed to finish the game and get all 3 endings ( and uploaded it in youtube) . Credits to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORe4WfPYpAM
Note: in the early releases of the game, some of the ending dialogues got hidden because i forgot to uncomment them in the source code. That should be fixed in the latest version. Also, the player’s insane fast movement speed.
Here is the complete story.
SPOILERS!
The main character arrives at home, and finds that his wife and daughter is missing. So he searched around the whole house. After searching the whole house, he finds out that there is an entity that chases him. After searching for them, solving puzzles, etc. The flashback scenes tells us that in the attic room, his father accidentally pushed his mother. The main character(by that scene was a child) got traumatized, he made scribbles and doodles (the vault note) about his hatred to his father that killed his mom. So it is clear that the father did it. Or is it?
After going to the basement room, in the left room is his father imprisoned. Then he tells us that the main character,his son, does not really have any family. He is just delusional. Every day he would arrive home, with different names he is looking for. Then the father continues to reveal that the main character actually is the one who killed his wife. Why? Remember that the scene happened when the child opened the attic through the ladder? That causes the mom to actually fell off the attic. So therefore, the main character actually killed her, he just blame it to the father. It is very insane to the point that the mother (the entity/enemy) is projecting itself as killing him in his mind.
Depending on the ending the player chooses, more and more details are revealed. The whole plot revelation is scattered between the three endings. That’s why one must finish all of them to actually understand it.
Ending 1
If the player chooses to kill the father, he has no more bullet, when he goes to the right room (where he keeps his mother’s corpse) he is confronted once again of the entity. After killing his father, he has no more to blame, in his mind, he realizes that he is the one who actually killed her. Therefore, he succumbed to his fear, he let go of himself and let his mother complexion takes over him.
Ending 2
If the player chooses to leave the father. Everything is revealed, his whole house is a mess, it is a psychopath’s place (inspired the RE7, Baker’s house and Silence of the Lambs). After leaving the house, he is finally caught by the police. Instead of choosing to be arrested, he tried to shoot them (no bullet in the gun), so the cops, by self defense, shot him.
Ending 3
If the player chooses to not shoot the father, and go into the right room, he has a bullet. He will shoot the entity, therefore his mind will be freed from the severe trauma and insanity. This ending is the best, I left a big hole to what happens next after the entity died, because of the ahem sequel
Theme/Inspiration
Im a fan of thriller movies, where almost in the whole film, you are convinced to the motive of the main character, but in the end, there is a plot twist. Just like the famous “I see dead people”-movie. The theme I want to present in my game, is not just horror elements, or any puzzle, but actually a very complex case. I want to show you and ask you, “Who is really the evil one?”, “Who, for you, is right and telling the truth?”.
The inspiration for this game, well first of all, the story is not purely conceived. But the gameplay? It is inspired by pardon me but i forgot the title (a game about a girl in a house trying to escape coz there is a masked guy trying to kill her. Tell me if you know). I’ve added the game design of being a monochrome or black and dark colors to give emphasis to the theme.
Other inspirations are, ummmmm, perhaps Resident Evil (big fan here). IDK if you noticed, but the gun-collect-audio is a similar tone to the classic item-got audio from the first three resident evil games. Oh yeah! Easter eggs!
I really want to thank you all for the support and positive reception of the game. It is my masterpiece, my birthchild (is that a term?) You know, the best painting of an artist. Although I fail as a developer to give you a bugless game, I still appreciate all the feedbacks and comments. I’ve made some friends(maybe?) over the game, especially the youtubers :)
WAIT FOR THE ANDROID VERSION!
ALSO WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL!
So what do you think?
Is the father the murderer? or the main character?
