The Secret Story of Wick Explained (Horror Game Theories)

[@mask938]

Travis stole the children’s keepsakes and scattered them throughout the woods and the children punished Travis for it by killing him. A few months later, Sam located all of the lost keepsakes and returned them to the children’s graves before dying (possibly from hypothermia) and the children rewarded Sam by basically accepting him into their family and becoming his new friends.

What if Mary killed all the kids in some way, burying Caleb alive, slashing Benny's throat while he slept, throwing Lillian in the well, possibly smothering Tim and Tom which explains the coughing and gasping, and finally burning herself alive in the house. To me, she seems to have some sort of mental illness she projects onto the kids, mostly Tim and Tom

[@Chronocide242]

Ok I like this comment it makes sense.

[@1WildArtist]

This makes the most sense, since their body's weren't found in the house, so it couldn't have been during the fire.

[@Quandry1]

Or the Father did... he does say everything was taken from him before he hung himself but he doesn't say how. And he did return from the Trauma of War. He may have felt those that were actually his children were turned against him. And the Mother and the Father's bodies were both found but we don't know in what state. The mother may have ended herself when she learned what he did. There's some ambiguity there.

I wonder if the accident that disfigured Tom was falling down the well, just like Lillian? If you look at Tom, his arms and legs look as if they have been broken, which could be caused by a large fall. Also, Lillian speaks of Jack and Jill, saying that Jack fell down then Jill came stumbling after. What if Tom somehow fell into the well and Lillian attempted to save him, only to fall in as well and die?

Just a note about Tom and Tim: Twins were considered a bad omen in those times, especially if they were the same gender. It would've been normal for religious families to take that as a curse and freak out like the Weavers did.

Also, Tom suffered from polio (since one of his items is a leg brace for treating children with polio), so Tim probably also had some sort of illness that made the weavers believe they were cursed.

For Lillian based on the clues i would say that she knocked her rabbit into the well and then went down in the bucket to get it back but sadly the ropes snapped and she drowned.

A theory adding on to yours: Around those times, twins were said to be bad omens even worse if they were the same gender. I've been reading and heard a lot of theory's on Tim having Polio. I have something to add to that, In very few Polio cases it takes over the whole body. When this happens, it becomes really hard to breath and usually it leads to the head being tilted to its last motion. For these cases, there are things called the "Iron Lung" which supplies oxygen to the lungs while keeping the body secure. Another use is when the body becomes paralyzed due to illness or accidents (Falling out of a tree perhaps?) and can't breath well. Iron lungs were used. That's why i think they breath so loudly, having had used an iron lung to breath. Give me feedback i taught it was clever!

[@Noshushpls]

Nah cos then they’d both be deformed and only one is also the iron lung leave u incapacitated so he would’ve gotten off it way way wayyy before dying

[@monroerobbins7551]

Here’s my thoughts: I think the mother killed Caleb. The person panting while digging with the shovel sounds like a woman, and how would Lillian, one of the girls in the game, be able to drag the body of an older athlete into a pit? Plus, why would the kids hang around the twins if the twins, one of the other options for the killers, were the ones that killed them? It feels weird. I think the mother, in a religious fervor, killed her daughter, who was being influenced by the twins, killed Caleb by burying him, perhaps he got hurt and she thought he was dead already, and lastly burned the twins, what she believed to be the cause of her misfortune. But it was not they, they were merely vessels, a punishment for the mother not accepting the consequences of her actions. Perhaps her children died, one by one, and in a final twist of fate, she killed the twins and herself. Maybe Caleb was the first, hence why he is skeletal. Then Benny, due to him showing signs of decay and rot, then the little girl (Lillian? Sorry, bad with names), drowned whilst trying to cleanse her of evil, and she not showing any sign of rot, merely death, and lastly the twins.

@@bookerfeniks180 People would often leave babies that were labeled as “changelings” in the woods, thinking that the fairies would take the “changelings” and replace them with healthy babies. Obviously, the babies weren’t changelings and there weren’t any fairies secretly swapping babies. They were just regular human babies that were born with defects and illnesses, and the idiots who left them in the woods expecting fairies to take them and replace them with healthy babies were delusional and were really just leaving their kids to die in the woods because they couldn’t accept the idea of their kids being born with issues.

[@fishushu]

So, I might ve wrong, but by the drawing of Lilian and her objects, plus her audio, to me it feels more logical that she died by having her head crushed on a fall. Her stuffed rabbit probably fell down the well and she fell down when going after it by trying to lower herself with the bucket. This can be concluded by the drawing of her with blood dripping down her head from under the oncee she wears and the fractured skull of a rabbit.

[@NitePixieDust]

In my opinion, I like to think Tim and Tom were not changelings. They just had problems that were seen as unholy and possibly a curse. Because religion was strong in the community/family, I think because of Tom having polio and both him and Tim having other issues as well led to Mary and John keeping them mostly hidden and possibly spreading lies to their other children about them. I think Tim was also seen as evil or "demonic" due to his violent, (possibly rebellious) nature. Tim seems like the kid to enjoy hurting others or is willing to hurt anyone who gets in his or his brother's way. I also like to think they or at least Tim, had a place in their mother's and sibling's death, but that's just what I like to think.

[@raptorsuedemondrake4143]

just some quick notes about changelings and how they affect the lore. 1. Changelings were usually taken after being born once the parental bond was established. specifically a supernatural entity would kidnap the infant and take his or her place usually because they desire the easy life infants have. 2. changelings were usually dealt with through abuse and neglect in order to either trick the entity into revealing its identity or just make it so miserable it leaves of its own accord, which would force it to return the original child. point 2 is establishes as something the weavers were doing to the twins through various clips in the game. and perhaps the disfiguring accident that makes tom look mangled wasnt an accident, but rather the weavers attempting to drive out the changeling. the fact that tom and tim look and behave so differently in death suggests that only tom may be a changeling while tim was an ordinary boy given supernatural power in death. supporting this is the fact that iron tools were often used to abuse suspected changelings because wounds inflicted n them by iron would not heal, explaining why tom is mangled as a ghost and tim is not.

I'd like to see a sequel where Sam is one of the ghosts that you have to run from. It would be awesome if they had an ending where Sam gets revenge on his old friend group. They could even add Travis' ghost and have him get revenge on Duncan for killing him (Duncan is most likely the murderer). There's no need to worry about designing their appearances because we already know what they look like. The missing persons report for Travis provides a very detailed description of his appearance. Travis was a 15 year old boy with black hair, brown eyes, light skin, and a left eyebrow piercing. He also wore wire-trimmed glasses, a red hooded jacket, jeans, black coverse runners, a gold chain with a small crucifix, and a gray backpack on the night of his untimely death. As for Sam, there's actually an early piece of concept art that depicts Sam's full appearance. He has long reddish hair and wears a red long-sleeved shirt, blue pants, and brown shoes (in the game, you can tell by looking at his sleeves that he's still wearing the red shirt). This piece of concept art even appears in this video! It's a colorful drawing of Sam walking above ground and Caleb tunneling underneath him with the words "Keep moving". The picture appears at 12:32 in this video.

Depite their religious upbringing the Kids seem to be close to one another, what if there was no real "evil" before and the paranoia over the consequences of his wifes adultery made the parents actually be the ones lashing out verbally as at times even physically around or even towards the children? The children might have had thought they have to protect one another, the twins probably got most of the short ends of the sticks due to being the product of their mothers adultery. I wouldn't be suprised if their deaths, if we think that some of them happened after the fire instead of before (however when I think about it even before would work and the father hanging himself after realizing what they became) that the pastor was actually involved in burying the wicked to cleanse his herd? What if he even was the affair partner and the mother just not dare point her finger at him? Just a thought since as much as Benny did repeat what his parents told him as fact, I don't see reason to belief that he was harming his brothers, which wouldn't be a suprise if he had done so in the situation and how "normal" it must seem to him. So...what if the accident, wasn't an accident? What if the parents killed one of their kids after the other, maybe even as a contest to punish the other. Also a possebility. I do agree on the "how" they died part mostly. Just the who did it and who was the actual culprit getting the more violent tendencies into the children I think was less a spirit, but more so their actual upbringing. I wouldn't be suprised if the children spirits simply feel wronged and want to "afterlive" their lifes playing and being for once at peace together. But people keep messing with their shit and forget to bring it back. Oh, also what if: The tuber actually set the stage for Sam? And the one hitting him with the shovel is the guy that keeps bringing kids up there? Also tying a bit in my theory that the pastor was the actual affairpartner, it would also work with another affairpartner since: What if the one keeping bringing kids up there is their halfbrother? IF we go with the twisted nature came from the affairpartner, it would be possible that he kept sleeping around planting "seeds". And the halfbrother figured out they were related and just keeps bringing his siblings "presents" to play with. But that is just a theory.

Edit: Here are the symptoms of Hypothermia! -Shivering. -Exhaustion or feeling very tired. -Confusion. -Fumbling hands. -Memory loss. -Slurred speech. -Drowsiness.

I'm at 0:33 and I just need to say that I love the way SHB talks there's just something about it.

[@onyxth3ripper]

I think the reason that everyone looks worse in No Way Out, despite it being before Sam, is that the children's bodies themselves rose with their souls because of TBubber disrespecting them, while Sam didn't do anything, therefore only their spirits rose for him.

[@lostbabyfox4465]

not trying to be mean, this really helped give me my own ideas and help my theories. However, you did mix up tim and tom a few times. im also pretty sure tom had polio hence his leg brace. Tom's the deformed one and Tim's the one that talks. Gj tho at everything this game is amazing.

[@diethumperdie]

I was pretty sure that Changeling were a thing in Celtic mythology. Though it wasn't uncommon for Christianity to take old stories like that, and later say they were demons.

[@Jesse_69420]

I think these are the likely cause of death of the Weaver Children and Tbubber. Tim: Suffocation or Hypothermia Tom: Suffocation, Hypothermia, or Internal Bleeding (Think of why Tom gags out blood in his No Way Out) Benny: Stabbed with a knife,but survived only to die from his injuries few minutes later Caleb: Buried Alive (Suffocation or Starved to Death, due to Caleb being able to eat the player) Lillian: Drowned in the well Tbubber: Likely killed by Tim, as Tim was the only one of the Weaver children to be absent during the final chase in the No Way Out DLC.

The comprehensive summary of the plot, first person gameplay, creatures encountered, and character dynamics reminds me of "The Midnight Man" ritual creepy pasta and the game Slender: The 8 Pagesl, mixed with the abuse, manipulation, and heartless mistreatment of children in the hard-to-find PS2 game Rule of Rose. The ghostly children in masks and the sketches you find are similar to the Aristocrat Club and the stories you completed in each chapter.

Just the mention of Changeling children got me hooked even more hehe. Though a bit different in this one, old legends being more about children being swapped at birth by Fae creatures, while the real human babies are off in another realm.

Ok, can we all agree that MacAlroy's death is one of the most satisfying moments in horror game history? I can just imagine the few seconds after: Tim and Tom exit down the aisle while smirking at their dying victim, Benny is briefly spooked, but decides to just watch the fireworks, Lillian taunts the dead pastor, Caleb grabs a Hymnal and starts whacking the corpse's stomach with it, John smiles coldly, and Mary looks like she'll have a heart attack.

[@maksimlukamiletic6223]

Theory: Since Benny was really religious, he caused Tom to have that accident, so Tim sliced Benny's neck and thus we hear him threatening someone when examining the knife

To me -Tom- the way how he croaks and gargles I think he had a watery death, or something to do with a drowning. Maybe when he fell he collided with something solid or was roughed up beforehand! Like maybe the fell into the well has crippled him from the neck down ...look at his position. I think he had died first off after being mangled but he held on. Held on long enough for his brother Tom to care for him and give him that sad mask which represented his mental state. He didn't have the same fate as his Twin brother Tom who have died in a fire along with his mother. It doesn't look or sounded like that is the case listen if you must its not like Tom at all. Maybe he was born this way or was abused?🤔🤔 Yet -Tim- was protective and wanted to make up for something occurring Tom who watch him die in a slow manner . That's why he made him a mask and threatened others with his knife when it came to tom out of guilt. He was making up for the incident that ruined Tom that why he clung onto his brother even after death. I think Tom died first due to his mangled body, His hair loss. rotten skin and finally his state when interacting with him. He looks like a drowning victim and his body looks with one wrong move it rips. Therefore this is common when you look at victims when resub merged. ( look and see or yourself)😮😮😮😮😮 -Caleb- was the one who suffered the most if you look you can tell he was buried in a water yet mucky area! I think because he was too swift yet he was very short and small framed in stature! That's why the killer dug a tall and steep ditch burying him alive. He put on a fight because if you look at his fingers they are worn off from trying so hard to fight for his life. He is the scariest out of all the members, looks horrific and is full of rage. If you look at his death animation that is nothing but pure rage, and nothing is worse than an angry athlete. He felt everything. Everything even the bugs that burrowed in him ..😨😨😨😨😨😨 -Lilian- I think she died from sickness from drinking in the well from trying to prevent starvation! It seems like she was the last to die and no one was there to care for her. Thus, Tom being already dead in the well poisoned the water. Or the rabbits who surrounded her home ate whatever she had or just interaction made her ill. Which is why she probably killed them out of pure hatred and despair of her situation so she can eat! Her not having no one to look after her she had no choice, if you look she looks ill or sickly! Also rabbits will overcome and eat any vegetation which can be annoying when you don't have much left. Meaning the rabbits ate around something she once ate off of or she ate one for food after going mad from hunger. I think she was starved but she ate or drank something that led to her demise which explains her look. Her death animation is a scream or drains life from the player which is what a plague does when in contact with someone else. Also her picture "STAY AWAY." its a perfect quarantine message to remain clear 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰 -Benny- it seems like maybe due to his slothfulness he was killed in his sleep with a cut to the throat or he followed his fathers path of self sacrifice. He had the easiest death... Their father was a jerk and should've been more attentive to his wife and owned up for is actions , I just see things differently 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
