They thought that since her tears where what caused them to be stuck in this predicament in the first place, it would get them back to their bodies. But of course it didn’t work, and thus Hakim has to step in and remind them the only way to get back to reality is to fix what’s broken, their relationship.

[@lukefox718]

@@christophersudbrink4946 yeah yeah we all know the context, what I'm saying is despite the weird things happening, it would take MASSIVE mental gymnastics to conclude all that needs to happen to break the cursed is for her to cry on them again, no strings attached? Also doesn't it say a lot about them that they don't even flinch at the idea of making their daughter cry, or like ever second guess themselves about the morality of things, not even a comment about how maybe what they're doing is wrong, whether it helps them or not. My point is, I don't care what they thought they're shitty parents for basically bullying their daughter to help themselves out of a situation they stuck themselves in in the first place.

[@vibes7966]

The fact that in the credits, Cutie had been repaired implies that the toys don't really die, if she was actually alive.

And to make it worse, Cutie was the one thing comforting Rose during all of this, yet the parents just killed her, watched their daughter cry, felt absolutely no remorse, and were angry instead of upset when they realized that their daughter's tears did nothing.

[@JonathanLauzon]

The interesting thing about this scene, what makes this so disturbing, is the confrontation between the identity of the player characters (the parents) and the real point of view the game leads you to have: the childhood's vision of suffering. From the beggining of the game to this point, you try to immerse yourself as one of the parents. You get attached to the characters, with their personalities and flaws, and get involved into THEIR situation, THEIR relationship, THEIR marriage. Until that point in the game, Rose is not the subject of the story. She rather seems to be a TOOL they need to solve THEIR problems. At no point they really thought of Rose's suffering as if it was the cause of the problem they were trying to solve. There is a time for the characters to learn something. They are clearly not ready to understand how selfish they are at this point of the game. They have much more work to do on that! But there is also a time for the players to learn a message or a morale, and here, what we all learned is that the suffering of a child is not less important than anyone else's just because they are children. From their point of view, they could live irremediable experiences, as their innocence is constantly threatened of being butchered by the cruelty of life, especially if their parents aren't helping them but contributing to ruin their childhood. Cutie the Elephant was Rose's innocence. And her parents mercilessly killed it, believing it was "not that important", because obviously, their grown-up problems were "so much more important"! And just to make it clear, I am not defending the parents' actions! I almost cried playing this and am still in shock. Maybe I'm overanalyzing the scene, but it is my way to release the pressure. Overall, I believe this is brilliant writing. Risky and bold, but brilliant. The developers took the bet of giving us all trauma to make us feel what it is like for a child to suffer of being ripped of his innocence, and I believe it worked... Maybe too much!

This scene made my fiance and I stop playing. We thought the parents were already really unlikeable characters, but it became impossible to root for them after that. Felt very unnecessary and just pissed us off really.

[@zachanikwano]

It seems there should have been some dedicated cutscenes and/or gameplay to make up for this one: 1. Parents realizing they're being awful selfish people at their daughter's expense 2. Parents redeeming themselves through several acts of kindness and selflessness 3. Repair the elephant, and profusely apologize to Rose while starting to fix the damage they've inflicted on her. Through proper parenting and therapy.

@@kijanajenkins2546 a parent cares for their kid Yes they became toys and are forced to find a way out But that doesn’t justify that they should abandon the idea of caring for their child or if the child gets hurt (mentally, emotional or physically) irl they shouldn’t care Like they broke the favorite toy of the daughter and it made her cry It failed and yes it was a bad thing it didn’t worked But damn they didn’t even showed a emotion of “oh shit we forced our innocent daughter to cry out of sadness and she is all alone now without nobody to support her” Like I would also get wha you say if they weren’t alone or didn’t involved their daughter But they did involve her and after what they did to her they hardly cared Like at this point they could hurt her and I bet they would be like “god damn it we didn’t turn normal”

It's crazy how Josef Fares can deliver dramatic and provocative moments like these with just some dolls and child-like worlds better than AAA games who try so hard to do the same but fall flat, an example recently would be Outriders, which took itself so seriously but had me laughing at how absurd and poorly written it all was.

[@theoheinrich529]

I think this whole scene with Queen Cutie tells how parents think that one solution would fix their problems w/ their children, only to make the situation even worse. This is especially true since Dr. Hakim (the book) tried to coerce the two to make Rose cry by killing Queen Cutie. Not thinking of any other way of making Rose cry, they just went with Dr. Hakim's suggestion because it was EASIER for the weight of responsibility to fall on Dr. Hakim and take less blame themselves.

[@PrimalDragon1740]

What?! They thought of it themselves. The good doctor didn't do anything except sell them out to her guards trying to stop them.

[@War_Tigress]

What makes me upset is that they barely even thought twice about killing Cutie. In the process of literally trying to murder her, they say they feel bad and will need therapy and whatnot, yet they never hesitate or stop. They were only sad when they realized that the tears didn't turn them back to normal, and not about torturing and murdering a cute lil elephant. Or the fact that they made their daughter cry for no reason, and that they were joyful when she did. The game just kinda makes the characters go "well, shit. That didn't work" and never truly reflect on the severity and horror of what they just did. They just brought out the funny-looking book guy and said "oh well time to move on to the next puzzle." Knowing this happens has been one of the biggest turn-offs I've ever had towards a video game. I will *never* touch this game, nor will I watch anyone play it.

[@julesgro8526]

Breaks a part of the former child of me. I have a Teddy Bear that i got on the day of my birth, some 30+ years ago. I know very well how important it was to me as a child and it frankly still is. The thought of it coming alive and being murdered just turns my stomach. It´s like innocence and love incarnate got curb stomped.

[@19reaperassassn85]

This is literally the most horrific thing I’ve ever done in a video game, far surpassing the GTAV torture scene and the No Russian level of MW2. To force the players to enact this torture to a sweet helpless character as they literally beg you to stop is the most vile and traumatic experience I’ve ever faced in a video game. Playing with my girlfriend, we have refused to play the game further, simply because the characters have quickly become the most unlikable characters I’ve ever been forced to play as. Not only did they torture murder a helpless elephant as she begged them to stop, all in an effort to make their daughter cry, but they then feel no remorse for making their daughter cry and instead LITERALLY. DANCE. IN. HER. TEARS.

How tf does this one scene make me more miserable than my years of dealing with depression

[@pauljaneck9531]

because the people who are behind the creation of this game have certain goals and one of them is to kill humanity and simply everything good in people and also make them suffer. This is possible if a person again and again does something that his conscience makes him suffer because of the actions he has committed (as for example in this scene). Thus, each time the figurative heart or conscience becomes coarser and over time a person stops feeling (I think now it has become more clear why some call themselves Dead Inside because they stop feeling anything, in other words they become depressed) and also perceive cruelty as such and in to please his own desires, he is ready to do the most cruel acts that he could not even imagine. That's why almost all of today's entertainment contains the "poison" of violence and cruelty everywhere you look. But the good news is that anyone can recover.
