My theory on the plot: As a kid, Peter (MC) went to the park with his real father - Steven - but was lured away by a man dressed as a clown, the clown kidnapped Peter and drove him back to his place, where he locked Peter and two other kids in cages and abused them - the other kids ended up succumbing to their wounds and passing away, but Peter was saved at the expense of serious trauma. At home, Peters sleep was plagued with nightmares of the clown and what happened, which fucked with their mental state as a child and caused them to father a kid that was getting abused - and when feeling threatened caused him to act out and get labeled a maniac. At some unknown point in Peters early childhood their real parents were murdered and replaced by the "Married Couple" that'd escaped the asylum, Peters then maternal figure abused him because of his trauma induced nightmares and hallucinations - including locking them in the basement and even behind a fake wall where I assume the mannequins were, part of the trauma even caused Peter to go astral and face all their trauma that'd happened to them. To prove that their monsters existed, he set up a noise trap. 3 hours later, his presumed mother went to go down the stairs but triggered the noise trap and fell down the stairs to her death. Crushed by the thought that he'd just murdered his own mother, Peter hid her body behind the same fake wall he was forced to sleep behind. I'm not too sure about what happened to the presumed father, but Peter was left with heavy trauma. Things looked up at the orphanage, though. Peter eventually stopped having nightmares and even got a psychotherapist who we see in the end. But at the very end it's revealed by the shadow that the doctor - Peter's psychotherapist - was the paternal figure, the one that'd murdered his real father. You can tell this by the Doctor's shadow being a demon. Please feel free to correct me on anything as I could likely be wrong.

@@min_says_h3110 Not quite, every source I can find makes sure to make it clear murder and manslaughter are distinct crimes, the only link being they both involve death (not that the distinction in this case actually matters a whole lot, but it's good for future reference). In order to be classed as murder, the death of an individual must have been intentional or premeditated in some capacity. Only really important because they did it as a child, completely unintentionally, so I doubt they would have been tried too harshly.

It was a certain kind of storytelling. More from the perspective of the person you're playing as rather than a coherent storyline.

So... there was a family: a mother, father, and three kids A couple escaped a psychological hospital, killed the parents and pretended to be them for the children. The couple abused the children, killing two of them. One of the boys experienced astrol sleep and dreamt of monsters in his room. The mother decided to put him in the basement where his fears only grew. The father took him to an amusement park where he left him alone with a clown. The clown kidnapped him and when the police found the boy they took him back home. The boy was scared, he thought he saw monsters walking in the house. He set a trap and he heard a scream, he bolted out of bed and found his mother at the bottom of the stairs dead. The boy hid the body and lived his life with therapy. He said he dealt with all the monsters but his therapist points out he didn't kill them all. I think the therapist is the insane man who raised the boy like a father.

[@Mary-bv6mh]

Thank you for this I was really confused and with all the things happening I didn’t put the pieces together but it makes sense written :)

[@OfficialCorinneGames]

Oh, I thought the therapist was saying that the boy was a monster himself. I thought the boy was the man grown up at the end, whose shadow was the devil. That would explain why throughout the game, you could see the devils shadow, because it was his own? Was I wrong? lol I'm confused also.

[@cherryberry44]

Or he actually killed his mother. His parents were abusive and neglectful, to the point he actually got kidnapped by a psycho. He comes back home trying to recover from the trauma and starts seeing monsters everywhere. His mother, unfit to understand that he was actually experiencing trauma, tried to make him "face his fears" by hiding him in the basement. She was mentally ill as well and couldn't see that her son was also going down that rabbit hole. Instead of actually getting treatment for the both of them, she continues to mistreat him and locks him away. He starts to resent her all while he dives deeper into his psychosis. Eventually, he snaps and the "monsters" got to his mother, but it was really him who pushed her down the stairs all along. To soothe his conscious, his mind remembered it as a "monster" killing his mother. He hides the body so that he doesn't get blamed for it and to deny that it ever happened. In the game, we see him older and talking to his psychotherapist who is pushing him to go back and relive his childhood for closure and healing. Unfortunately, talking about his childhood triggers him and puts him back into psychosis. Now he sees the psychotherapist as a source of pain and abuse and see him as a monster. And you already know what happens when he sees monsters...

[@huyduong8730]

This game brings me "Don't be afraid" vibes. Like there are so many things that is analogous to "Don't be afraid". For those of you who don't know, "Don't be afraid" is also an indie horror game about a child sneak out to go to his friend's house at dead of night, get kidnapped, and play a sick game with a psychopath. It includes gory mannequins that the psychopath has stuffed his victims (mainly the children he tortured) in, his daughter who he deformed her face into a living horror (through surgical process) in her birthday, a wife who he decapitated and put in a mannequin, and a clown named "Theodore" which looks exactly like the in-game clown. This might be a sequel to the game, maybe the boy grew up traumatized and the experience haunted him again considering what he has been through. Considering the fact that the boy's mother did not care about her son sneaking out every night, she has some problems with her parenting too. I don't know if it's just the same category of horror game, that would be upsetting because this looks too good to be a separated game that it must be somehow related.
