For anyone who's confused about this heap of confusion (spoiler warning if anyone cares): This game is about Anthony coming to terms with the death of his family from the fire at the very beginning of the game. After the bus crashes (which happened cause he swerved out of the way to avoid a vision of Megan), he hallucinates himself and the rest of his family as a modern-day class. He then creates this adventure for his family to go on: all of them being connected to a series of witchhunts from colonial America (So yes, all of those Colonial America scenes were also in his head). All the monsters that were seen were reflections of how Anthony remembers each person dying. (Dennis by the fence, Tanya by fire, and James by being crushed. The reason Anne's monster appears drowned was because Anthony remembers her getting a bath right before she died). The reason Mary/Megan appears to be the bad guy for a good portion was because *she* started the fire, so by the end of the game you can choose to forgive Mary (and indirectly Megan) or kill her. With this factor of forgiving Megan and not upsetting Vince through the game (reason explained below), can determine whether Anthony can carry on from his survivor's guilt and hatred, or be consumed by it (leading to his arrest, or maybe even to him 'cleaning out his ears'). More tid-bits to help explain more: - The reason the Colonial judge was Asian was because he represents the passerby/neighbor from the housefire scene. And as he saw Anthony with some matches, he 'judged' him. - To add onto that previous point, the reason Vince can be pissed at Anthony was because he believed he cause the fire from the neighbor's testimony. (But Vince can find out Anthony didn't do it in other endings) - That police officer from the beginning? He's in the Colonial America scenes as well: he plays the part of executioner for all of the death scenes with the witchhunts. It's been said that he's seen this way because he was the one that sent Anthony back to Little Hope. I think I covered the immediately confusing parts, hope it was helpful.

Althought you might say it was faster since they already had a working engine, and plenty of assets used in Until Dawn, but this is still a very risky moove.

When i played the game with a friend, we were speculating about the games plot while trying to keep the information we got seperately to ourselfs.

I was excited when in the latter part i found a poster advertising for the mayor who "coincidentally" had the same last name as the priest from the past. Then they also put all these books and notes about witches and their icons in the town ( sun = rebirth, moon = magic) which made me think that the mayor ist actually just the priest who by a devilish pact gained immortality and we had to stop him by overcoming our flaws first. And then they dropped that entire plot point and told me it was just andrew overcoming his trauma. It could've been so much more, man....

That would’ve been such a cool game, honestly. The plot that was building had so much potential and seemed so carefully woven and not only did they ditch it with the hallucination ending they didn’t even wrap it up in any meaningful way, no reason why he’d be hallucinating witch trials or even modern students or monsters all representing his family or any of it, no actual narrative or meaning in the end. There wasn’t even an intentional nihilistic lack of meaning or poignant statement on grief, it just ended with a “lol jk none of it was real and now he’s in prison or dead”.

a geuine game like that could be fun a bunch of civilians in a warhammer 40k planet who has to try to survive and escape as the planet becomes a battle ground perhaps set it in a argi or old terra esk planet instead of a hive world or wasteland to make it feel more unique could give you a dead line by saying you have this long to get off world before the inquistion arrive and exterminatus the planet.

apprently the stakes were if you got every character alive the bus driver comes to peace with his familys death or gets arrested if you dont or offs himself if they all die aka the stakes existed but were so mind boggling small youd need a atomic microscope to notice and alien brain to even care about
