The Vermander Curse - All Endings & The Story Explained

[@KallichoreMoth]

The good ending is great. I've gotten slightly fatigued from the villain having no sort of character development and I always love a good redemption arc

[@vanguardiris3232]

Same. I hope that JP Vermander is an NPC in a later game, or something - a reformed villain who has old family knowledge of the occult but who has grown a conscience sounds like a great character to give exposition.

[@JCW5713]

There actually is 1 more ending. Notice that if all *_3_* patients are captured, the Criminal Ending starts off with "An investigation into the *_2_* different disappearances...". That's because "Jane Doe's" (the octopus lady) true identity is unknown. If she's the only character captured, the ending is as follows: The sun began to rise upon our little town. And the demon could not stay in this world much longer. It had already fulfilled it's side of the Vermander Pact. So it departed from this world, back from whence it came. Doctor Eda and Nurse Morton had both survived. They were finally safe. However... No one ever came forward to report the disappearance of "Jane Doe." She was simply gone. Almost as if she never existed in the first place... But she did exist. And both Eda and Morton did all they could to cast light on to her disappearance. But sadly, "a demon kidnapped a woman that no one has any information on" doesn't get you very far. It cost an innocent and hard-working woman her life, but Vermander's plan had been stopped. Much to his disappointment. But, of course... There was nothing stopping him from trying it all again...

[@sablle5974]

What about the goth wife

[@JCW5713]

@@sablle5974 I don't think there's a special ending if the wife gets captured. She's always with her husband and if the husband gets captured, so does she. I think the developer counts both her and her husband as 1 entity, so even if they both disappear, the game will count that as 1 disappearance.

[@sjferriol6964]

Many people might wonder why. Medical professionals like Doctor Eda would believe in witchcrafts rituals and demons as easy as that. I have 2 theories 1.The hospital is not the first establishment that has become the victim of Vermander family. 2.They exist on the same universe with Shadow catcher and man from the window. So maybe supernatural entities is common on that universe Anyways mike i wish you play the indie game your beautiful paper smile it was also a good horror game.

[@CommanderWiggins]

The games actually all take place in the same town, so both of your theories are actually right. Paranormal stuff is normal in this universe, and this town has been tormented by the Vermander family for decades.

Facts

[@sephinarose420]

Truth. I love them both but I feel Mike is more thorough.

[@Tempest-jc3me]

So something I've realized about this game is how all the characters other than Vermander represent people who are easily taken advantage of by the wealthy elite Eda represents the jaded but good-hearted doctor who finds ways to make ends meet despite not having the best ways to do so. Someone who manages to scrape by with what she's got knowing there is no point asking for help. Morton is the fresh face, the out of towner, who is new to the job and doesn't know what he's in for. It doesn't matter to him what the on the job problems could be because he needs to start his life up regardless of hazards. Jane, based on her speech style and fear of hospitals, could represent an illegal immigrant. It was mentioned that a trip to the hospital could seperate her from her family, aka deportation, and she might not have been working in a sanctioned job seeing how serious her injury was. She was willing to hide her name and cause of injury out of fear of being discovered. Tammy seems to have problems with anxiety or even depression, due to her description. She's the kind of person who would rather avoid her problems until it's too late. Jasmine and Lang could represent the low income middle class family facing poverty. The fact that Lang was risking injury to make his family happy and save money for dinner shows their predicament. The fact that people in the area were paying rent to a greedy businessman might be part of their problems. Even Hannah to some extent could be analyzed. She is the overworked and overstressed, yet underpaid and underappreciated secretary who ends up blowing the whistle on her boss's latest money making scheme. Overall, it really makes me upset that the demon didnt do them all a favor and off Vermander for good.

[@rofecoxib]

nice comparison! I didn't think of it that way!

[@mathisonchicetawn8445]

I think it's also worth mentioning that Morton is a single father as well.

[@cidevant002]

It's implied that "Jane Doe" is actually a immigrant that is illegaly on the country, reason why she didn't want to give out her name and how she feared never to see her family again if she went to the hospital, meaning, risking be deported. A lot of immigrants have this exact same fear and is the reason why they won't report crimes to the police or go to the hospital even if they really need to, so I appreciate the inclusion of this little piece of realism into the story. It makes her death all the more tragic to happen because even if she dissapears, her family couldn't do anything to find her without risking deportation themselves or maybe wouldn't even be aware of it because of living on that other country.

[@TheBloodswordsman]

The good ending was really nice. Hannah's smile at the end was great.

[@Wandergirl108]

I love it when you go over games that literally no one else is talking about, it's nice and refreshing and brings attention to little indie gems! :) Granted, I also like it when you analyze stories with mysteries and implications that aren't fully spelled out in the game and theorize about what it all means, but I'd rather you talk about unknown darlings than analyze oversaturated ones.

It's an exaggerated reflection of reality that way, people with a lot of money usually get let off the hook much easier than others.

[@bluewolf6323]

I wouldn't say being mauled to near death, losing all money, and now working as a regular is a slap on the wrist...unless there's something else he could be punished with.

[@lemonpaperplanes]

Yeah actually I somewhat agree with both of you, I think it was the games ending being only a couple sentences saying he changed his perspective which honestly seems super abrupt and makes the whole ending feel a little unsatisfying, but I think the delivery of plain text is why it feels that way, maybe a shot of a clock spinning super fast when time passing is mentioned could've helped or something! Though I still do agree that he deserves jailtime or just general passive consequence of some kind, I mean who knows how many people he has killed with that blood pact of his sheeeeesh

[@staxstonecutter1802]

​@@lemonpaperplanes I do agree with you on that he should receive some sort of legal punishment for sending a demon to terrorize the hospital. I do wonder though, how many times has he used that demon to accomplish something? the fact that Hannah knew that the ritual would cause something bad to happen implies that he's summoned it at least once before.

[@Skull_E_Duggery]

Honestly I think it worked out, he lost everything, got attacked by a demon, and got humbled (sorta) if he just got killed it wouldent be enough for the shit he does

[@koboldfan3238]

Glad that you had made a video on this game. The creator deserves the recognition on being able to make a game that is both silly, creepy, unique art style and writing. As some of the expensive games, with major teams that take years to develop, have been disappointing.

[@thegrandxbunny2073]

Something tells me the demon and the Man in the Window are related in some way. I think the Man is more powerful since he can break a lock in 30 seconds while the demon can't open a door on his own.

[@stewthenoodles6763]

yeah i wonder how they weren't able to keep themselves safe by locking the doors and staying hidden

[@staxstonecutter1802]

Didn't they say the demon is bound by it's own rules? I'm sure it would have no trouble phasing through the walls and invisibly killing everyone inside (since it's a literal demon) so perhaps it set those rules for itself in order to give it's victims more of a sporting chance. It makes sense as the demon didn't seem very happy about being used by Vermander, and when the pact was broken it didn't go back and kill all those people, so maybe it can't help being forced to kill, but it can place restrictions on itself in the hopes that a smart person will figure out what's going on and do something about it. The only problem with this theory is that in the powerful demon ending where it's no longer bound it devastates the town, so maybe it can't restrain itself when it's gains too much power?

[@mithmoonwalker]

maybe the curse stoped them since they opened the door in the best ending

There is one more ending. If Jane Doe is the only casualty, then events happen differently. Since there is no record of Jane Doe, no one believed or looked into her disappearance and Vermander can try the ritual again.
