identity is us. the only other way we would be scared at being looked at is people looking at us in jail. we are a failure. we end up having depression. james is us slowly burning our mental state. alice is our shy nature. fraud is our inability to stay true to ourselves. stan is ourselves. (which explains why he follows all through out) the hurdle is the last memory we got from before having fear. laser, bombings, armors. its like we are a victim to a terrorist attack. markers. just like how you plan an attack by placing markers on a certain area. we are identity.

[@JonnyO514]

I dont think its going on in his head, i think its a telling of how a schizophrenic patient escaped a hospital, but from the patients perspective. Stan represents his doctor, following him throughout all 3 mazes trying to stop him. Fraud is probably a representation of the main character's friends/family. In his mind, they arent his loved ones, they are imitations trying to trick him. Ralph and Alice are probably assistants trying to stop you, and James? Im not sure, im thinking the only seeing you while moving might have something to do with it, or maybe he's just another assistant or security guard trying to stop you. The final boss is you combating your mental illness, but in the end you dont truly win. Identity Fraud 2 shows us what happens after he escapes, but from his perspective again. In the end he ends up killing an innocent person on the street as his delusions get the best of him. I know the game continues after that, but i stopped after that point. That's my theory.

[@mistyyrain9817]

That's actually a great theory

[@bbvvghh455]

i dont have a theory but heres what i think of every character and the maze. and their meaning maze 1; the main entrance of hospital. player is lost maze 2; outside of the hospital, a forest maze 3; the rooms of the hospital. player left the room and cant find it hallway; the hall to the players room the last hurdle room; the players room player; someone who was mentally insane Stan; player fears of the dark, as if someone is in the back watching them. they fear they are being watched fraud; players identity has been stolen before, fraud is the person who took it from the player. alice; a person who drove the player insane. James; someone who has escaped the room and is insane like the player, only finding them when they move Ralph; a murderer who targeted the player, the player is yet to escape from him last hurdle; shrug** identity; someone who has had the same fate as the player, and being insane enough to be put in jail. police thought he was lying when he tried explaining so they killed him and the player, explaining the look of fear on his face

[@localfilipinomilfag4083]

This Game Tells you that you are lucky and don't have this disorder, this game shows according to the theory the fear and pain that you suffer, you're lost in your thoughts and words, and I think that's the true purpose of this game, to have a perspective of a schizophrenic person and feel the fears and pain. Edit: This is kinda obvious.

[@cojumhalloninstagram114]

i think alice represents maybe two faced people, or people who arent who they seem like they are. she has two forms, a firefly/pixie type form that is peaceful and harmless (which is just a floating yellow dot) and then if you look at it or engage it too much, she becomes her zombie/human type form which then she is harmful. maybe, our character could be also afraid of people not being who they seem to be. just a thought.

He walks very slowly and when he touches you get sent to prison, with *N O E S C A P E* Maybe this man is his doctor, Maybe he did something wrong? And this is his therapist/doctor trying to help him with his case to telling the truth or getting executed/put into jail. His fear might also be, "getting imprisoned." This is a very rare occurrence of a character, He spawns when Ralph does, 45 minutes into a new server, The music will actually change to "Firewatch - Something's Wrong." Look up the music on KZbin to hear it.

7:22 What if Alice to the player, was someone they cared for, and is now dead. Something that made the player remorseful. This could be why Alice looks rotten. As if her body has decayed.

alice is probably a mother figure. mothers normally watch over you, which could represent the eye. some stuff that mothers say too is that "im always watching over you" or stuff that that which could mean another explanation to the eye. when she latches onto you, or targets you, you know for a fact she's there, like how mothers latch onto their children until they're old enough to live on their own. this could possibly mean that alice was a mother that the protag loved very much. they were always constantly in contact with them, always with them with the protags problems. the main reason why shes apart of the game and attacking, is because shes a main memory. its like whenever you do something so much you dream about it. its probably the same that the protag is going through.

[@risingicy5684]

Hey but its just a theory... a GAME THEORY

[@K1rawx]

James is also in Identity fraud 2, except you get to "Speak with him"

[@lettuce6321]

My theory about the monsters in the first part is that these monsters represent some of the things schizophrenic people have and fear off. For example, Stan. Stan stares at you from behind or front and then disappears. This is often something schizophrenic people have fear of, being stared at by others. Hence Stan being the “master of stares.” Alice would be the people, how schizophrenic people view them. You see how Alice is a firefly, completely normal. But when you get near her, she transforms into a monster that kills you. That’s how they view other people because they are paranoid to people around them, the fear of getting hurt or something. Ralph, the “mass murderer” may be also associated with Alice. Ralph would be the person that’ll “get you.” Schizophrenic people have paranoia, and they are so fearful that someone is out to get them. Even when no body is. That’s how Ralph is, he will come to get you when you come in contact with him. The same thing when people with that mental disorder have when coming in contact with someone (as in interacting or something.) James would be the voices in the head. Notice how James makes these weird sounds? That could be the voices you get from your head. The thing is, schizophrenic people are paranoid of almost everything they do because the voices in their head make up scenarios or something that “if you do this and that something bad will happen.” Hence why James will hurt you if you move or do something. Because “something bad will happen.” The reason to staying still when James is around because the voices in your head can make up so much scenarios that are bad that you can’t do anything. That you are unable to preform basic daily tasks in life, because the voices in your head will think every little thing you do will hurt you. And when James is gone, that probably means when you take your medication for schizophrenia. Now I haven’t really thought of Fraud just yet. But I think it also links up with Alice and Ralph. Notice that fraud completely acts normal as another player and when you finally make eye contact, it chases you until you are cornered or something and it takes your form, your identity? That could possibly be the fear that their identity will be taken away from people. Atleast that’s what I think. This is just my theory, it might not fully connect all the loose ends or something but I just thought of it.

[@CorgiLPSTV]

Another thing I want to add is that most of the time when you're playing with a friend, you end up seeing stan at different places, but not at the same time. (peeking around the corner, infront of you, etc.) For example, i'd walk around with my friend and i'd see stan infront of me, but my friend wouldn't see him.

When it kicks you out at the end is because you were fighting yourself too hard, and while your in the hospital bed you flat line, the monster that stares at you stand for the people watching him, the mass murderer stands for the doctor, the guy with a lot of red eyes represents the person wanting to escape his own mind. schizophrenia stands for other personality’s taking over your body, so the monsters are also his other personalities, meaning that he’s trying to fight his schizophrenia. When he succeeds he gets the lack of emotion and the will to live on. He died in the hospital bed. He was stuck in an endless purgatory. One that would kill you if you escaped. One that would kill you if you stayed. There was no escape. Ever. He could never escape death.

*Heres a story* You awake. You're sick *Sick* sick. You look around the room. Its a hospital room. A little girl stands by your hospital bed, "Dad?" she says. You turn your head to look her in the eyes. She's pale. A nurse walks in. "Ah, You're finally awake, I see." She cheers You sit up. A lady walks in and says "Hun', You're getting discharged today." You stare. She stares back. "Still not talking.." Says the little girl. "I'll.. uh.." The nurse coughed. "I'll go." You watch her walk out the door. The room is black. You only see the child. "Dad.." she says. Her eyes are black now. "Why did you leave us?" she asks. "We were waiting. You never came. You ran away!" She yells, Eyes now bleeding, voids. The room lights up and the girl is normal again. Another nurse walks in. "You're being discharged, Please head off and pay your medical bill." *Why am I being discharged?* You think. "Didn't I just get here?" You ask. They turn to you. "Let's just go." Says the woman. You get up and start walking out the door with your family. You start breathing heavily. You walk through into an elevator. Your family stares as you stumble towards the buttons. "Why don't we just..." The little girl stops. "What was that, Hun'?" The lady asks. "Nothing.." the little girl says. You and your family walk out the escalator. Then out the hospital's doors. You get in the backseat of your car, which was pulled up out the front. As you arrive home, you get out of the car, Family following. It's black again. You stare at the little girl, bleeding voids as eyes. *"Dad. You shouldn't have left."* She says. Last time you thought it was just your thoughts. This time it felt.. *Real* You fall back at the seemingly front door, Choking. The girl starts levitating, Quickly swarming towards you. You get up on your feet and its normal again. This time, you're running across a road. You close your eyes, Feeling a large plate of metal smash into your ribs, Knocking you down. *"Oh Dad~?"* *"You're not safe this time~!"* A twisted laugh comes with her demonic voice. "I had to do this" She sobs. You feel a stake launched into the back of your head. *END*

When I played the game for the first time and on and on. I always stop moving after some minutes in trying to get out the maze. I couldn't force myself to move again. I was really so scared of the first monster and the creepy environment. I was just standing alone in a dark corridor, I always messaged on the chat: "Can someone help me, I can't do this. I am very scared." and I keep saying "Help please someone." but they won't respond to me during that time my heart was beating fast and I feel too much chills in me. I was stuck for like 4 hours. Not even moving in first maze. I was just thinking it is just a horror game with missions and stuff. (Well it is, kinda.) Until I saw 2 guys and after that I followed them and we have some nice chats together. They were also good in trying to solve these until we reached the end. I tried to play again but then 1 glance of the maze 1 room, I quit. I actually never gonna play the first game now even the second game. I never tried the second game until now. (I'm not used to horror games that much.)

I am not particularly scared of the game, since the first time I joined I didn’t even know it was horror since I decided to join my friend and I played it as a normal game, so I got used to it, but when my friends (kinda forced by me) played, they were super scared. I think that if you have the mentality that it’s a horror game it really will creep you out. Maybe, if you feel comfortable, just gather up a bunch of other scared people and you all play together, not only because “together we are better”( phrase by my third grade teacher) but because sharing something with other people, like a fear, really makes you feel more comfortable knowing that you are not the only one and you may even get to play it, you should try it out

[@syrupsnake302]

Super Roblox - I think Alice the zombie represents him feeling possibly betrayed? You know how doctors help people but the guy we play as feels as if the doctor betrayed him and wants to hurt him. The glowing eye of alice (when she is invisible) makes you feel like it's just some fairy or something and that it will lead you to the exit but later on the yellow dot is actually the zombies eye and she then attacks you and tricks you, just like the mentally-ill person we play as.

[@syrupsnake302]

Oh and Identity is also the man you meet in Identity Fraud 2 chapter 3 when you're in the train, you can see him ahead of you. Oh and considering that when he jails you and gets shot by guards before you. I think he is someone who is EXACTLY like that guy we play as but possibly the version where he fails to fight himself like we do in the first game and therefore tries to PULL YOU down to his level where he is trapped.

Maybe Identity is the doctor that tried to help him ( that’s why he doesn’t kill when he touches you ) but because our character’s fear and anxiety you go so down there’s no escape ( why you are trapped in a jail ). The doctor gets shot because it was like he was never in our mind, with or without the doctor our character would’ve kept falling deeper into an never ending hole, and you getting shot might symbolize.. TW read at your risk The character suicides

[@pleb9007]

the fact that we aren’t getting sleep could mean that we’re just having nightmares. i think the entire gameplay represents that ‘nightmare.’ the fact that we think we got poisoned shows this. the “poison” was actually some kind of drug to get us to sleep. right after we say “did he poison me?” “he must have.” the gameplay starts. this might have represented a time skip, showing that the doctor had proscribed us something. after realizing what it was doing to our body, we came to the conclusion that it was poison.

Hey recently i thought of this! Identity, the guy you meet in the *BEGINNING* cut scene. Now, think about your theory of the character having schizophrenia and they're out of touch with reality, and that's why you the think the doctor is trying to hurt you. Here's the thing, if you finished the 2nd game at one part you KILL someone because you have schizophrenia and you think they're a monster. Now, once you get sentenced to prison you have a lot of meet ups with your doctor and who is that doctor Identity from the first game. And if you think about how being in jail can make you go insane, what if the 1st game is actually a dream of what happened AFTER the 2nd game. Going insane most certainly would and could mess with your dreams, so all the time you're going insane leads up to your dreams following along with it which is the dream of that you're playing in the first game. And why is there a cut scene in the beginning? it can only be the memory of your meet with the doctor after the accident which lead you to prison. I don't know if this a true theory or a good one, please answer me.

[@txshiroo._]

I may get wrong but here’s my theory The player is suffering from anxiety disorder or schizophrenia (or not idk?) So the player gets sent to this mental hospital The player gets more anxiety that he escapes the ward the player is in The first maze represents the mental hospital the player is trying to find the exit of the hospital The player gets more anxiety that he escapes the ward and tries to find the exit getting more anxiety The second maze represents the outside of the mental hospital (or forest) The player found an exit and escapes the hospital, stumbling in the forest looking for a street to stay and rest The third maze most likely represents the player’s home(?) The player explores his house and founds a radio beeping from the doctor (Identity) before getting arrested The hallway represents the after escape from the hospital and stumbling in the forest The boss arena right most likely represents that you’re overcoming your anxiety disorder or the player’s schizophrenia Monsters: Stan - Stan probably represents scopophobia Fraud - Fraud represents imagination of the family member or a friend Ralph - Ralph represents thanatophobia Alice - Alice probably represents nyctophobia James - (idk about him) James probably represents our mental health? Identity - Identity represents the doctor who poisoned you got arrested Last hurdle - Last Hurdle represents the anxiety disorder or the schizophrenia that the player is suffering and the player is trying to overcome it That might be my theory gaiz

[@cassdraws727]

This is kinda a weird theory but if the player character is scared of his identity being stolen then maybe Alice could be a part of that because of her pixie form it could be something like the fae where for some kinds of them in myth if you tell them your name they keep it so like stealing your identity. Probably not true but hey I thought it could be a cool connection.

I think ralph is Thanatophobia, The Phobia of death, Our character is Afraid of dying and others dying, Feeling possible he is responsible for the deaths of others....And himself.

I know this is late, but what if the boss meant all the fears combined. Think about it, it has armor so you can’t see what’s inside. It’s like people, some hide their emotions. The boss shoots out lasers and bombs, those could represent the emotions spiraling out of control, continuing a cycle until help has been gained. And it followed you, so it could also have another fear of being followed, plus the fears before this.

Okay so I’m not sure if this was a person playing the game or a bot or character in the game but one time I was playing identity fraud with my friend and we were so lost in the first map. We kept going in circles. Then just randomly we saw someone. It was a guy with like grey arms and face and a green torso and a turquoisish legs. So we just followed him since we didn’t know where to go and because it looked like he was trying to lead us somewhere So after a while we found the gate. But the guy for some reason he just spinned around really fast then he exploded. To this day I still know nothing about that guy and why he was there leading us to the gate. Idk why he exploded. Idk who he was. Idk if anyone else experienced this. Idk if that was a person playing as him or it was a character in the game. After that I’ve never seen him ever again.

[@SegularRpork]

Lol I said that as a joke, playing with friends "ight so basically we all schizophrenic n we gotta get outta here." My words exactly.

[@tasigavillet9314]

I think the reason Alice is there is because he has the fear of being hurt. If you touch or bump into Alice, she will go right ahead and begin to attack you. What helps back this up is that in the Dialogue it states that the doctor wants to hurt him, which might indicate he is scared of being hurt or touched. In almost all of the characters, you have to touch them to either get them to go away or to get killed. Our character thinks that if people touch him, they want to hurt him.

[@tria7271]

I have actually been to the "prison cell" that identity teleports you to and I believe that the prison cell might just be an asylum which fits your theory saying that our character suffers from a mental disease. Also nice vid.

[@pentguin372]

I really love this theory it makes so much sense i wish i could make theory's as good as you

[@Screwedathon]

me:i have not slept doc:y me: *bro i didnt chose to not sleep-*

[@SuperSpeedy101]

Underrated comment

[@maplesyrup7450]

the person/the doctor is either 1. The therapist (IF2 CHAPTER 3,) the identity (IF1 MAZE ONE,) or Travis (IF2 CHAPTER 2 AND 3 INCLUDED IN)

[@Ch0mk_dach1cken]

Fun fact James is your Doctor actually. Without his hat or gloves It's actually the guy from the train Or James is trying to Kill you.

[@travelingtrav1661]

Your theory is very good,but i also know that sometimes in the mirror you can happear as a white monster with red eyes,which might mean something like:we are becoming a monster,we are already a monster or....The mirror is telling us something.

[@TheGonzGirlz]

We have been wondering what the dialogue was about this whole time!!!! Thanks!:) (it only makes it slightly creepier now that there’s a theory about it) ;)

[@boogersauce7593]

I’ve encountered fraud only in maze one I saw myself and I actually said to my self “am..I..Dead?” Like dude it’s scary

[@frootiipebbles]

I think Alice is the fear of being betrayed or deceived, Alice appears to be a innocent pixie at first but when you stare at her she turns into her zombie form and kills you (or is at least supposed to, Alice's AI is broken currently.) Our MC states how his doctor helps him at first in the dialogue but a bit later says the doctor wants to hurt MC and that he poisoned MC, MC is scared that the doctor betrayed/is gonna betray him by hurting him instead of helping like he's supposed to. Also it is stated that the doctor grabs him, and Alice kills you through strangling, in a sense she's grabbing you also, this may have nothing to do with the dialogue but I thought I'd still mention it.

[@vebvin]

To me, this is probably connected to sleeping. The character is obviously mentally ill, and he said to the doctor that he hasn’t slept and he doesn’t want to. He then passed out, and you enter the maze.

[@lettuce6321]

It’s clever for the people who design thumbnails or posters because, we never really pay attention to what’s going on to the poster, we just focus on how rad and cool it is. These designers know that, we just ignore that type of stuff. Very clever for them to hide a code that we thought was just a display to make the thumbnail with James badass when really, it had a purpose. This theory was very enjoyable as always! Would love to hear about the second game because, yeah, we end up in Jail for committing murder (which could be the cause if schizophrenia) and there’s these scenes where you are in a train with a man and stuff and blah blah blah, a guy named Travis, us mistaken for an appointment. It’s all confusing to me and I really want to try tying up all the loose ends but I just don’t have enough IQ!

[@nevonicwolf4827]

Stan is basically Scoptophobia (him staring at you) And paranoia (him following you randomly)

[@irongloves89]

If you look closely in the mirrors you might see a smile. I think its when a "Fraud" or "The Stan" is nearby, Its really hard to see.

[@Nan1011]

i think when you beat the game boss, you get kicked out of the server and the history continues at Identity Fraud 2.

[@lovegoddess4129]

Ralph is the doc in the story and he won't stop following you because you still have 30 min left

[@yeeyeecrackhaircut9574]

also you can see james has a doctor coat so its possible that james represents the doctor trying to stop him.

[@unknownvisitor6362]

Our fears is linked to monsters Heres an example: James - Your fears without having a light Ralph: Fear commiting suicide..? Fraud:Fear being copy cat Stan: Fear staring people

[@cipher1579]

so... i feel like im in this game irl

[@toaster2371]

I think that all the things that chase you represent the staff trying to help you, your mind is thinking they are trying to hurt you though and the footsteps and swinging doors represent medical workers rushing you around and trying to help you because you have passed out

[@neatoyeeto7668]

The first Identity Fraud is all in the player's head, as the un related noises in the background would be able to relate to whats happening in the therapy room or whatever. And when you get past the final hurdle, you wake up. Which can follow up in the second one and how your in this place that closely resembles a hospital. The therapy is canceled and the paitent makes it out of the building safely, but not without hallucinating and seeing monsters there. Eventually the paitent murders an indevidual, sending you to prison. In there, you constantly have flashbacks or dreams when you sleep, you see a subway cart, and the therapy room with the person who treated yo u. But it all goes south and the dream ends, You and your firends plan to escape, which may happen next chapter when it's released.

[@criscabansag5727]

My Personal Take on the story : Your character has commited a mass murder and has been arrested. After being bailed out or you have served your years, you suffer Schizophrenia. After a while you decide to have appointments. During this one, the whole sequence happened. Now lets get into character meanings. That were hard to make sense of. -Ones That Wont Make Sense- Alice (Eye Form) = False Identity or a Trick Alice (Zombie Form) = Fear of death (as in Death Sentence.) -Ones that make sense- Ralph = Your Past catching up to you. Identity = Either the person you killed. Or you met him in jail. The Final Boss = ??? Getting Kicked Out = Waking up.

[@thatonerandompeasant2673]

In my opinion, identity is a soul wandering around the maze. What he meant to do is teleports whoever touches him to his dream realm aka the jail cells, and let them witness how the last moment of his life ends in the jail cell. I feel like there’s a long story behind this.. He just wants people to know his story

[@unrequitedvalet]

I don't like this I LOVE IT! Thank you so much for sharing it!! It's the best theory ever!

[@cui69420]

As doctor ingame says, How he got hurt the question?, He broke something?, He were bleeding?,He got shot?.

[@bakral-bajalan1126]

schizophrenia also includes rapid movement which is what your character does in identity fraud

[@alstef09]

i think the guy has a psychotic episode like depression and schizophrenia it's like the old game called cry of fear this game is quite smart Morse codes would like to know about more of this games. Stan may represents your fear of somee9ne stares at you alice may represents the fear of someone has negative thoughts also called social anxiety ralph represents someone is gonna hurt them like in the conversation fraud disguises you means like getting your friends or your family to get him attention and identity gets quite difficult he could maybe represents the our insanity james represents the voices of our head.

[@leilahrodway8788]

My friend and I thought about stupid little theories that kind of made sense Like how Ralph was a surgical doctor with a overreacted view of a scalpel. And how Instead if the monsters killing you they give you heart attacks as how you get scared by bumping into these overreacted views of people ( monsters ). And how Alice died from a heart attack. We also thought the first hallway was so called never ending was a hallucination. This theory is much better but we just like randomly theorizing.

[@voicesinmyskull]

speedy: talking about how the player has schizophrenia also speedy: *upbeat music*

[@savannahbrigden7491]

I was just thinking about this. About how the whole game is in the players head. The character ‘identity’ really comes into play with all of it

[@strawberry_shortcake6440]

I saw this video and your theory talk video after this and they are my favorite videos and yeah I was hooked on this game before and now with the video just makes it better I'm kind of obssesed °3°

[@denq1i]

I used to think the map was based off of the Backrooms because it has empty hallways and they all just keep going

[@fujisakiluv]

this actually kinda scared me bc i thought the same thing.

[@thatfrenchfried]

I have a theory. . . The noises in the background, like footsteps or a door opening or heavy knocking. It tells a story, of what going on. Outside of the dream. For instance, footsteps, people running to the room your in to help you, the heavy knocking, people from outside the room trying to get in to help you, a door opening, the person or people successfully entering the room to help. . . Now Stan faucet man making his signature noise *Faucet noises* I’m really not sure. Hey, it’s only a theory, respond to me of what you all think of the idea.

[@saylonassznn1437]

If you think about it all of the main characters have no identity like just black or takes identities and identity could be some kind of flashback that’s why it’s so rare idk

[@channelbeingreplaced.2610]

You know that ending in Identity Fraud 2? Where you kill a monster but its actually a person. It may represent a disorder like a hallucination or something idk. The 2 Identity Fraud Games also have an similarity to a game I heard of called Afraid of Monsters about a guy who was addicted to drugs and started seeing monsters much like how you see the monsters too. And about the Fraud in IF1 its kinda similar to the final boss of Afraid of monsters which is the player but with bloody eyes and a axe. Maybe you, the Player was a drug addicted and had multiple disorders then sent to a hospital or a mental hospital I think. Also theres a ending to AOM where the player actually killed many innocents but thought they were monsters. Anyway but nice theory

[@norm7798]

I know what the boss means. You can never defeat it if youre alone. Which means the character cannot get out or continue from this life without another person helping him. That means that your character finds another guy who can help him and theyll go through it together. Just like when you defeated the main boss with your companion.

[@user-rv3nv7ov7i]

Then explain why i complete the game solo

[@strawberry_shortcake6440]

I think the monster Fraud is that he's afraid of himself and or others because it take the form of you and chases you. Your theory sounds good but this is just my opinion that I thought made more sense for me.

[@heydudewhatdidudotomygarli5081]

BUT HEY, THATS JUST A THEORY, A GAME THEORY.

[@managervsenimeko1851]

i thnk the monsters r actualy doctors trying to get u because the fraud chases u but u wanna run away and stan is chill but u still wanna run or he catches u and james wants u still so he can talk to u and chainsaw guy chases u with a netel trying to put u in sleep. so the person we are playing in it imagins them all as scary figures and the boss at the end is ur doctor trying to save u from u have a heart attac it all makes sence!

[@woowee3280]

I have a theory....maybe alice is the nurse cause she wears a like its kinda like a nurse’s outfit Also james might be a fear of getting hurt cause hes the only character that doesn’t instantly one shot you

[@dynastra9011]

Another proof che character suffers of schizofrenia is that when you look at the mirror and u have Ralph, fraud or Stan behind you, you can't see them in the mirror..

[@kynto]

i think identity teleporting you to the jailcell foreshadows if2 chapter 3 where you are in prison, either that or a coincidence
