[@wandererwerewolf477]

"That's the real story of the minotaur!?" You better believe it, Mark. Greek mythology gets downright weird in spots, and this is one of them. According to legend, when King Minos was competing for the throne of Crete, he prayed to Poseidon, god of the sea, to send him a snow-white bull as a sign of support. (As Crete is an island, having the god of the sea on your side was kind of a trump card.) The snow-white bull would then be killed in honor of Poseidon. Except, well, the bull was such a spectacular specimen that Minos decided it was just too good to sacrifice. Instead, he sacrificed one of his own bulls to Poseidon. Poseidon, being a Greek god, did not take kindly to getting short-changed. So, since Minos loved the bull so much, he made Minos' queen, Pasiphae, love the bull even more. She contacted the craftsman, Daedalos (or _Daidalos_ ) to build a hollow wooden cow, and... well, the pictures in the game cover the next bit. (They're from actual Greek art.) Being the unnatural offspring that he was -- a monster, literally a warning from the gods -- the minotaur turned savage as soon as he was weaned from his mother's milk. Being a monster, he had no natural food supply, and had to eat human flesh. On the advice of the Oracle at Delphi, Minos had _Daidalos_ create a massive labyrinth to contain the minotaur, where he remained until Theseus, aided in some versions by Minos' daughter Ariadne, killed him (in order to end the regular tribute of young men and women that were fed to the monster).

[@The-Plaguefellow]

This comment is kind of a joke, just so you know. As much as I enjoy various Ancient Greek stories and the like, one has to wonder how that story would've turned out if the Cretians decided to make regular deliveries of _actual_ food to the Minotaur instead of just concluding that he just ate people. I know that he's a monster and all, but c'mon, no need to assume he _just_ eats people right off the bat.

So if almost everything was a hallucination, does that mean that the scene when he kills the dog stuck in a trap, is actually Jim finding his daughter asleep in the other room and strangling her there? If so, the moment when Diane screams when seeing Jim in the cabin could be his wife finding the daughter dead, and the scream somehow making it through to him. She calls the cops, Jim waddles around tripping, then strangles her, thinking she's Diane, and the cops burst inside just a few seconds too late. Wow...

[@yejianyue]

The ending is quite obvious, to me, at least. Seeing as many people find it confusing, and also saying that the game is about the fourth wall breaking, I will try to explain it, and to justified that this game is only about hallucinations, instead of meta. So what is real and what is hallucinating in this game? Well, for the real part, it's up until the part where he consumed the pills, the interrogation part, and the final part where Jim drops tears on his hand. *_All else is a hallucination._* What happened in reality, is that Jim consumed the Horns given by the Pizza delivery guy(who want to spread disorder on society or something), causing him to hallucinates about the mansion. The hallucinations eventually lead him attempting to strangle Daine(the SM grandma), before he comes to realization for a moment, that what he had done, is instead strangled his wife and daughter. Most likely called by other people in the hotel, polices arrived and arrested Jim, and then the interrogation scene happened. Afterwards, Jim is without questions guilty for his action, and thus put into the prison cell for that. He slept while drowning in confusion and grieve. This time, perhaps dreaming, or still under the effect of the drugs, he dreamt that he is just a fictional character in video game, and a white door appeared in his cell, allowing him to escape back to his room, waking up on his desk. At this point, he is still dreaming in the cell, but in the dream, he thought that he just consumed the pills and fall asleep. The mansion, the cell, all just a nightmare, even the caretaker(who is now likely a manifestation of his inner voice trying to lie to himself) convinces him. Jim tried to leave his house to see his wife, his inner self, a.k.a the "caretaker", tried to stop him from realizing the truth. Through an absurd dream sequence where he utilizes gun and OS, he deleted and defeated his caretaker- the Horns - the maze. Alas, rushing to the hotel, he finally meets his wife. As he tried to reach out to her, he wakes up. In the cell. Well, moral of the story: don't eat drugs given by a pizza delivery guy, I guess?

[@GummyBear651]

12:53 Yep, that is how the Minotaur came into being. In Greek mythology, Minos competed with his brothers to rule over the island of Crete. Minos prayed to Poseidon to send him a sign of support; a pure white bull which Minos was to sacrifice to honour the deity, but instead he kept it because of it's beauty and instead sacrificed one of his own bulls, thinking that Poseidon wouldn't care. To punish Minos for this, Poseidon made Minos' wife Pasiphaë fall deeply in love with the white bull. Pasiphaë had a craftsman named Daedalus create a hollow cow, which Pasiphaë then climbed inside in order to mate with the bull. The offspring of the bull and Pasiphaë (a woman and a beast) was the Minotaur. Unable to be satisfied with normal foods, the Minotaur consumed humans for sustenance. Minos gained advice from the Oracle Delphi, and had Daedalus construct a labyrinth in which the Minotaur could be held.

Mark just now discovering the myth of the minotaur is peak hilarity

[@ScaldingHate]

The puzzle in the beginning refers to the birth of the Minotaur: the queen (Pasiphae?) was cursed to fall in love with one of the prize bulls (of whom the king didn't want to sacrifice). Pasiphae was cursed by Poseidon to love the bull, and so she snuck out in an enchanted bronze cow (made by Daedalus, who agreed to help her), and.. The Minotaur was conceived. It's the actual way it goes.

[@AnnoyingMystery]

Sean Mark Winchester Dont forget that she had a bronze metal cow made for her to hide inside of so that the bull wouldnt kill her..... And she was forced to fall in love with the bull because her husband refused to sacrifice it to the gods.

I'm wondering if the meta-game ending isn't as meta as we're lead to believe. Jim was likely experiencing the effects of the drug in some way, be it a high or withdrawal. He kept saying that the murder of his wife "had to be a nightmare", and what better way to console yourself than to convince yourself nothing actually matters? And then bam, he wakes up. It was all a nightmare, a figment of a game dev's mind. He has the Caretaker to assure him he's in a game, and upon killing the caretaker what happens? He hallucinates his dead wife in a jail cell. I think the ending actually upheld all of the crazy stuff Jim experienced because he furthered himself into his head and refused to see the world for what it was: it _wasn't_ a game. The story of the Minotaur and the labyrinth is that the Minotaur _can't_ leave. Jim is now perpetually stuck in a horrendous reality shaped by fear.

[@AphroditeRose00]

This is exactly what I believe and no one can tell me anything different.

[@mutodaes]

@Joseph Park So the lore of the Minotaur is that Daedalus was asked to create a labyrinth so complex that the Minotaur is unable to leave, trapping it there forever. Theseus (some Greek hero) ends up killing the Minotaur in the labyrinth. While there's probably some other spin off of the old tale, the main story has it where the Minotaur is trapped and killed.

The Minotaur's Labyrinth myth fits quite well with the game giving the sensation that you cant escape from your own twisted demons because they are from deep inside your own innermost darkness inside your heart, and when you start to wander off the path into the unknown you will end up losing yourself and everything you love and care, well at least is what i got from this game i think.

This is one of the best horror games I’ve seen in a long time. Especially from such a lesser known team. The fact that in the very last scene it shows that the damn menu screen was foreshadowing the end of the game is fantastic. The character design, dialogue and artwork were all beautifully done. The design of the Caretaker has to be one of my favorite horror monster designs, there’s something about his eyes that’s just...I don’t even know. Phenomenal game, amazing job from everyone who worked on it. I’m so glad I watched this. Had me hooked from beginning to end!

[@r0b0t1ctree6]

13:14 - 13:30 WELCOME TO GREEK MYTHOLOGY, MARK. Specifically, the myth of the bull of Minos. Daedalus is the one who made the wooden cow suit and built the labyrinth. He was also Icarus' dad.

[@BallistikaGames]

Is it a wooden cow suite or the bronze cow they used in tortures? I thought it was the hollowed out bronze cow that they lit a fire under

[@r0b0t1ctree6]

+Ballistika Games It wasn't a torture device in the legend. In the legend, Pasiphae (the Queen of Crete) commissioned Daedalus to build her a hollow device out of wood and a cow skin, stretched over top, so she could wheel up to the bull in its field and get it on.

[@BallistikaGames]

@@r0b0t1ctree6oh.. Well shit I'mma have to look more into mythology and shit, that's just weird lol

[@ivyg6178]

@@r0b0t1ctree6 Pasiphae was the queen of Crete, Minos was her husband.

[@HarverTheSlayer]

The myth goes more or less like this: King Minos competed with his brothers for Vrete's throne, and he prayed to Poseidon to give him support. The god sent him a white bull as sign of his support, but Minos had to sacrifice it later in honour of Poseidon. The thing is... Minos didn't do it. It was one hell of a bull, so he thought "hey, Poseidon just wants a dead bull, right? He won't mind if I keep this one, right?" But greek gods usually don't like humans not doing what they're told. And so, as a punishment, the god made Pasiphae, Minos' wife, to fall in love with the bull. She asked Daedalus to make her the hollow wooden cow that others have mentioned, and well, she milked the bull (in some versions, the bull was Poseidon himself, which would make the Minotaur a demigod). And well, Asterios (the Minotaur's name) was born, he was wild and ferocious, so the king orderes Daedalus to build the maze so the monster couldn't get out of it. As a bonus point, the bull itself (still alive) went on a rampage and started wreaking havoc on the country, because Poseidon wasn't satisfied with just some bestiality. Tl;dr: Don't mess with the greek gods if you don't want the weirdest sex sessions.

This game was pretty awesome, but nothing breaks my enjoyment more than a game suddenly deciding it has to take a turn for the super-meta. Especially in a game like this, where to me it felt like a really weird and unnecessary twist. There was a really nice story going, why suddenly start telling the character that they are in a game, and they need to break free from the cycle of being played? Whenever a non-meta game suddenly takes that turn, I feel like all the story, atmosphere and immersion that has been built up just get's thrown out the window, because hey even the characters know it's not real anymore, so what did anything matter?

[@alexanderekblom8093]

It wasn't that bad, really. I mean, he only heard that after he found out he was hallucinating, so who is he to tell if that's truly the case?

[@Handelo]

I think you missed the point. The 4th wall break here isn't the twist. It's the main character's way of escaping reality. He DID take a pill that made him hallucinate the entire mansion story. He DID go to his wife's motel and kill her (and possibly his daughter). His psyche couldn't cope with those facts, so he created a new reality, one in which he is trapped in a game, being controlled like a puppet. That would mean his actions weren't his own, that he could not be held accountable for them, that it wasn't his fault. The Caretaker, a manifestation of his subconscious, was trying to prevent him from breaking free of this made-up reality. But at the end, he did. He had reached the end of the maze his own mind constructed, and he had to face a reality in which his family no longer exists.
