The best part about this game is that everyone is freaked out about the big dude, but he's actually helping you. The big dude gives you clues, keys, the lighter, the album you are looking for, etc. Meanwhile the real evil is in the doll. The demonic doll is the one going around turning off the lights and the candles, closes its room with chains and cries when you are making progress. Shows how much we rely on appearances in our lives. I mean, the big dude's a cannibal and all, but nobody is perfect 😆

[@adamben6422]

I noticed an interesting thing. If you look at the face of the big guy, there are two different models for him. You can best see it in the face. One of them is much more decomposed and has big teeth (you can see him in the jumpscare where you turn around to see him right behind you - 30:15 ), the other one just has a big smile (that´s the one you chill with in the elevator - 40:54 ). The interesting part to me is, that the smiling guy actually helps you in the game. He gives you the lighter and then helps you get back into the apartment. In short, he isn´t activelly trying to kill you. But the more decomposed guy mostly just seems to want to murder you. And as Sean poited out, the smiling one doesn´t seem to be afraid of light. So my little Game theory is, that they are two different entities. Maybe they are fighting over who will rule the red hellscape dimension you are in. What I´d like to think is, that the reason there are two of them is, that the guy got posessed by something, and because of that, he became a murdering cannibal. And in the process, he lost most of his humanity, so that´s why he looks like a corpse. But the second guy is the original conciousness of the body, still alive and human (to some extent) and he is just trying to stop the murders, which the demon in his posessed body is doing. So he tries to help you defeat it. I know this is a bit of a stretch, and I fully realise that there are unlimited possibilities to why the creator decided to make the same guy with two faces. Maybe the only reason is that it just looked better in some shots, but I still think it´s an interesting detail. :) What do you guys think about this?

@@aloenuht.1740 Yeah, that's also a possibility. But in that case, what are the chances that the cannibal just so happened to murder a guy that's also extremely tall and also happens to have cuts all over the body. But it's possible that your theory actually was the game creator's intention, and he just used the same body model for the victim. Or maybe just all souls lost in this dimension are somehow distorted or twisted in some way, so that's why a victim would also look as a monster to the player.

I’m so happy that the Let’s Players have found this project. I’ve sang it’s praises to everyone who would listen for like a year now.

The red herring of being able to hide under the bed, the fact that you can’t reliably shut any door, the randomized scares in the bedroom, the build up, everything is so good. It’s nice to notice little details every time I watch someone play it, like seeing the doll staring at you in the mirror when it’s looking forward in reality. Good stuff.

[@Owls1221]

Okay, everyone is talking about how good and scary the game is. But is no one gonna talk about the lore of the game and why all of the scare is happening etc. Well here's my short theory. I watched this game being played by Markipler for the first time, but when I watched it the second time being played by Sean, I noticed some small details that I haven't caught the first time. Before going to the apartment we see a missing poster, it says the missing person is a dude wearing a white shirt with red shorts and red shoes. And I realised that this missing dude is in the apartment (the one the player plucks his teeth out). Moving from the missing dude to the messages on the wall when the player enters the bloody door where it says things like "hear?" and "voice" and one of the messages says "I buried him in concrete". That's where I realised something when we saw bags of cement outside the apartment. My theory is, what if the grandfather had something to do with the missing dude, and that the grandfather had kidnapped him and killed him then hid his body in concrete in a room (the player says something like "this room stinks of a corpse") . Realising what the grandfather had done he went insane due to the "voice" he heard? And proceeded to commit suicide (I assumed this because behind the bloody door there was a chair and a rope hanging from the ceiling, suggesting that this rope could've been a noose). And now the grandfather's ghost is wandering around? This is just a theory and not entirely true or accurate, but I'm just saying I think happened in the apartment if anyone is interested in lore of the game. Let me know what you think or if you have anything to add.

[@badgerrick9616]

I think the ghost that's trying to kill the player is not the grandfather, I think it's actually his victim (one of many?). The grandfather murdered the missing guy for some reason, the guy turned into a monster and then killed the grandfather or made him kill himself. Then in the game this monster/ghost is trying to kill the main character, while he's trying to survive following the hints that his grandfather left behind for him

[@yamdagni]

Here's my theory: The Grandfather was being controlled by the Demon to kill many, many people. That 15 year old kid that went missing was just the most recent victim. This is evident as you could see the kid's corpse in the bathroom, another corpse in the wall, and another in the oven. Who knows how many more were killed. The group of people looking at the player during the jumpscare were probably all victims. After the Grandfather got too old to do the killing, or maybe the Demon got tired of him, it killed him through making the Grandfather commit suicide. Or maybe the Grandfather couldn't handle it anymore and committed suicide on his own. The fact that there was rope still hanging on the ceiling with a chair beneath it means that's where people found the Grandfather dead. When the player came into the apartment, the Demon had found it's new victim to play with. During the entire game the Demon could have easily killed the player, but no, it toyed with player the whole time allowing you to think you could escape. The reason you couldn't escape at the end was because your fate was already sealed the moment you first got trapped into the apartment. That was the moment you got teleported to another dimension. And I am pretty sure it's a Demon because I don't think any ghost of some grandfather would have the power to transport someone physically to some hellish world and trap them there. The writing on the walls was from the ghosts of the victims trying to help the player as they thought the player could still make it. The candles were likely not left by the grandfather to save you against the Demon because he would have also left something to light them with. The candles were likely just there because the Grandfather happened to have some.

Totally agree that this game executed its scares really well, without relying on horror tropes like jump scares. Also, Seán’s humor, which he uses to assuage his own fear while playing, was even sharper than usual! I love that we got a callback to 🎵 _Long, Long Maaaaaaaan!_ 🎵 Also-also, I got heavy _HDWGH_ vibes near the start of the game when Seán mentioned Green Day’s _Wake Me Up When September Ends._ On Tour, he told us that was the first song he played on the drums.

It's amazing to me just how innocent this game looks. It looks just like a cheap jump scare simulator, and it's so much more to the point it is actually bloody terrifying! What a well-made haunted house sim that is actually how you craft the genre. Also, this game does the impossible... make the room with the World's Scariest silly doll the point you run to for safety. Yes, that thing is cursed, but after awhile it's a point of safety

I think part of the reason this is so effective is that it isn't just a cinematic game with jump scares it does good good work to make you feel truly in danger of losing the game, it capitalizes on the fear of the unknown which I've noticed is of the most effective, and also,.most of the scares are happening somewhat in real time, rather than a cutscene where "something spooky happens"

I really like the subtlety of the scares. No big bang or immediate flashes except for the baby, but even that one was a silent scare. The devs really let the spooky things linger.

the scare where you're in the closet and he is really close in the corner, face illuminated by the light. got me in both Mark's video and yours. Best jump scare.
