You Must Inspect Cabins & Decide If They're Haunted - The Cabin Factory ALL ENDINGS & ALL Anomalies

The fact that the console knew which cabins were haunted suggests that the factory is sending inspectors into known haunted cabins for pure entertainment.

[@Francyl3igh]

Or for experiment, especially when we see the thickness of the wall's, and overly protected procedure tooked by other actual humans, the two observing in the distance behind a glass panel, and the hazmat guys at the end sugest that this is not any normal factory for sure

[@VoidWalkerOblivion]

I like ti imagine they intend to sell the cabins anyway because profit: our role solely is scapegoating so they can avoid government fines from the Extrasensory Auditing Office. If someone complains, they say the employee didn't follow proper procedure and fire us.

[@lodey166]

My teory is, there's no Game if you don't need to inspect them lol

[@beywheelzhater8930]

Could also be that this is training, get a whole host of cabins you know aren’t too dangerous and move them to a testing environment. Then you can probably tell if the newbie is good at picking things out in case you ever have to send them onto less tested cabins

[@CJ-we6fv]

Well, they might have created the inspector position to show that they weren't haunted. If the system just did it, there wouldn't be any indication to the public/court that they are taking steps to ensure absence of haunting

@@Vae966 my guess is that the portrait acts as a 2d "tv" with a translation of a 3d model stashed somewhere in the scene, outside of player's view and reach Edit: after some watching I noticed that sometimes the portrait is simply replaced with the "window" showing the 3d model standing behind it, and the portrait is a bit too compressed and is quite textured to be a "tv" thing. So, I can be mistaken.

[@Lucifronz]

@@Sarydormi Most likely, yeah. The TV with the boy was a model inside the TV, but the portrait appears to be a "recording" of the 3D model of the mother from another section of the area.

​@@tuesdaywithanhMy guess is that all of the cabins are modelt after an actual haunted cabin and are therefore haunted by association

[@Player_O1ne]

@@tuesdaywithanh My theory is that since they're trying to build horror-themed cabins, they model them after the original cabin where the tragedy happened, and then they put a piece from the original cabin in the model one to give it some extra "haunted energy", but if they put in a part that's like too big, or if they put in too many pieces, it ends up being too haunted.

Having it be *only* movement is a neat little thing. It lets them get away with obvious creepy changes while still forcing you to go in and explore. You can't just run away at the first change 'cause it might still be clear!

[@MrEvan312]

Can't blame Manly for missing some of the anomalies, there are a few really subtle ones: 1) Greta's hand moves under the bed (this one is really hard because the area is dark AND a shadow from the support further obscures her) 2) The toy frog slowly gets bigger when you stare at it. 3) The father will only turn to look at you AFTER you come downstairs so if you leave too quickly you may not notice 4) The father will stand outside but instead of chasing you he smashes the window when you get close 5) A copy of you appears in the corner by the table opposite of the dad, kinda hiding in the shadows. 6) A copy of you peeks out from behind one of the supports, always staying on the opposite side of it from you. This seems to be triggered by going to the corner of the cabin to the left of the mother painting. Apparently in the gameplay settings you can clock a "jumpscares" button which will jumpscare you and the button will be gone after that. It's not an anomaly but gives you an achievement. Also, if you stare at some of the wax figures (Mother on the porch, Greta under the stairs, Hans when Greta is under the stairs while the parents are at the table, and the father when he is standing outside the window) they play additional dialogue. SEEcrets!

[@GameJam230]

I actually love the idea of a haunted house inspector. Instead of making sure the boiler has recently been redone and the stair railings are up to code, you’re making sure nobody left any cursed objects in the attic or hid bodies behind walls in the basement. Combine this with elements of Phasmophobia where you identify SPECIFIC paranormal issues, as well as maybe a House Flipper element where you can spend money needed to remove the issues (or, if they are safe spirits, then maybe even leave them in and market the house on its paranormal presence for the ghost chasers of the world lol), or even removing the issues yourself, and you’ve got a complete beginning to end haunted house real estate simulator.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Now I want to see the opposite: A game where you're a haunted house inspector, but you have to check that the haunting is up to standards. Like no haunting that seriously endangers visitors, ghosts that behave properly for their haunting category. Perhaps even managing ghost employees to make sure every haunted house has the correct number of spirits.

So I'm assuming Hans and Greta are a play on Hansel and Gretel? Wonder what other connections it has to the fairy tale

[@hithere911]

I was thinking about how this story kind of reminded of Hansel and Gretel. In the original story, the witch was actually their mother. She disguised herself in order to lure a husband so she could have a daughter and continue her legacy. She convinced her husband to abandon them in the woods once she deemed Gretel old enough, then returned to her true home in secret: the gingerbread house in the woods. She had planned to train Gretel after eating Hansel, not expecting them to be so loyal to each other.

[@reiKANRA]

Also, the reported fire i guess since hänsel and gretel burnt the witch in the oven. I also wonder if it's a nod to fairy tales in general, with the frog plushie, maybe the portrait (like a mirror maybe?) and your character being an elderly looking woman (the typical grandmother figure). That's a stretch though.

[@MM-jf1me]

A very strong connection was made with the cabin in which the parents were eating well at the table while the children only had a single slice of bread apiece. ​​@@hithere911 I've never heard this version before; are you sure you're not confusing the original tale with a more elaborate adaptation? On a slightly related note, for anyone wanting to read an interesting adaptation, I highly recommend The True Story of Hansel and Gretel by Louise Murphy.

The fact your Player Character is an older woman is actually very Japanese. Japan has increasingly been employing men and women well past their 60s mainly due to labor shortages in many industries.

I really like this take on the anomaly genre. It was cool to see variations of the cabin, some of which were haunted and some that weren’t. It really does throw you off. And the one you ended on, with almost a little puzzle to get out instead of running, was a really nice twist too.

[@Electric0eye]

Props to the devs for making the game they wanted, and making it pretty solid. I was definitely excited when you went into the basement, because I thought maybe the game was going to turn into more of a true horror exploration game where you keep going deeper, so I was a bit disappointed when it went back to anomaly hunting. But hey, devs wanted to make an anom hunt game, and this is definitely one of the best ones I've seen.

[@rubystone9074]

So heres my take to the "plot": both parents were abusive (mother more mentally, father physically) The little girl somehow manages to kill them (going off on a limb here and guessing poisoning, seeing that the father is stuck in the position of eating) and ends up burning everything to the ground before taking her brother and leaving. The frog plush is his, a keepsake he took with him. His eyes are usually covered because it's possible she doesn't like remembering the fact he saw the things she did. They're never found, having possibly changed their identities. Greta, despite having escaped, still lives with the horrors of her past. It's unclear if the brother is still alive. However, it would be interesting if the sequal is about his pov (if there ever is a sequal)

[@CalicoDragoness]

I think the brother is still alive, there was a photo on the shelf in the first ending of an older Greta and another person who I'm assuming is her brother sitting on the couch with her. The frog plush is also present on the chair in your bedroom when you go home in the first ending :33

[@lemonZzzzs]

​@@CalicoDragoness i think the character *is* the brother. In the last escape from the house sequence, it is the *bigger* figure that's covered with the blanket in the doll house representation + the character is haunted by apparitions of the father, the mother, and the girl; never the boy.

[@CalicoDragoness]

@@lemonZzzzs Oooo that's an interesting take. I was basing a lot of my assumption of us playing as the girl off the name tag that's on the table in the first ending, right as you come inside the front door. The scene where we get locked in the bathroom while the mother bangs on the door also felt like it was a past memory we had, in my opinion. But I do see your point as well, especially with that particular escape sequence. That in particular I find especially odd since I think it's usually if not always the brother that's covered by the blanket upstairs? There's at least one time we see the girl appear in the same house as the brother with the blanket over his head so that really throws me off. I might have to give it another watch through, I had thought we were haunted by apparitions of all 4 people (And it's honestly possible that I might be misinterpreting what you consider an apparition vs what I'm considering it to be lol). It's not often but we do sometimes see all 4 people in the cabin together. I think another commenter made a really interesting point about it not technically being the actual specific ghosts haunting the cabins, but it's drawing from us as the character and kind of projecting our guilt/trauma? And I think that would explain how it's apparitions of all 4 of them, including whoever we're playing as.

[@lemonZzzzs]

​@@CalicoDragoness by "apparition" i mean when they move and especially when they get close enough to the player, making the screen change colors (the heart attack).

In my theory, the boy takes the place of his sister (pretends to be her) for whatever reason (e.g. guilt, maybe thinking she should've been the one to leave; re: the bathroom basement scene), which would also explain the name tag. The photo in that ending also shows both of them, adding to the ambiguity of who got out. I am curious to see how the story continues (hopefully it _will_ continue).

[@CalicoDragoness]

@@lemonZzzzs Oooo I see, I see. I can totally see where you're coming from, I like that theory. I vaguely recall at least one instance of an apparition relating to the boy moving but it wasn't necessarily chasing you so it's kind of hard to classify. Even then, I don't think that would outright disprove your theory anyway. I also scare really easily so I tend to look away a lot and just listen instead so I probably missed some details lol I'm with you, I'm also curious to see how the story goes and hope they continue as well :33

18:05 Manly subtly sneaking in his audition to be a horror movie/game protag VA

[@lightsidesoul]

Ok, the story as I think it is: The parents were obviously abusive. So, Greta and Hans burned the cabin to the ground one day after locking them inside. I feel like the factory is a Silent Hill type thing, where it’s using the latent guilt from burning the parents alive to torment Greta, most likely after Hans had died.

[@admiralsap]

"Greta, for the last time: You are not a haunted cabin inspector. We are a normal demolition company, and you're only supposed to send the cabins to the incinerator when you have verified that there are NO living people inside."

[@prometeo94]

Unvaluable service, imagine going for a nice tourist trap cuz the disneyland bathroom line is a kilometer long (10 football fields) and instead of faulty light a pop up cardboard cutouts you hear eerie whistling and the word L U M B A G O bleeds down the walls

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Imagine going there and the hallway to the bathroom just keeps getting longer. Unlesss you turn around, then the doorknob hits your kidneys, because the ghost just has to be extra annoying. Or a haunted house where the ghost keeps throwing lego everywhere.

[@sunbeames]

My first piece of advice? They would get far less haunting complaints if they'd just redecorate. The whole default display is going to cause the consumer to imagine something might happen.

[@littlewolfyzapling8810]

I say this in the nicest way possible but basically the first line in the game establishes that they make horror cabins

[@sunbeames]

@littlewolfyzapling8810 ...you're right. I totally missed that🤣. My bad.

[@jaaaaaacccck]

I think making horror cabin's inheritently sets the company up for failure on the "no haunting complaints" front but I interpreted this job as a "find the dangerous (possible liability) haunting" and if it's a mild haunting it'll be fine, probably.

[@bewilderbeestie]

"Hey, boss, you know how people keep saying that our haunted houses are haunted even though they're not? Well, Greta down on QA says that about 90% of our haunted houses are haunted. She suggests just removing the guarantee that our haunted houses aren't haunted, but I think that's silly. Whoever heard of a haunted house company selling haunted haunted houses? We'd be a laughing stock. So, anyway, I'm just getting them all shredded and pulped. Turns out that Rupert Murdoch's newspapers will pay a fortune for cursed paper."

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Reviews from the 1837 haunted house catalogue, page 281 "haunted cabins": Cabin 57 gets a 3 out of 10: Amenities are decent, haunting is spooky, but ghost will only haust the bathroom. Cabin 58 gets a 7/10: The ghost is cute, but shy. Recommended if you're interested in warming up to a cute ghost girl Cabin 59 gets 6/10: This one got two ghost for the price of one. But the ghosts were a married couple and are constantly arguing. Cabin 60 gets a perfect 10/10: spooky ghost who haunts people at unexpected times. not every visitor gets spooked, increasing the mystery around the haunting. Cabin 61, 2/10: ghost claims to be bored and desires to seek other work opportunities. If you acquire this cabin, be prepared to go ghost hunting for replacement soon. Cabin 62, 4/10: very old ghost who claims haunting isn't what it used to be, too commercialised. Very experienced, but might need convincing to start proper haunting. Cabin 63, 1/10: fire damage after ghost went too far. Recommended to only use in combination with Cabin 64, which harbours a water ghost.

27:33 Your character is old by the looks of it. If I had to guess, it is a mix of guilt (presuming she started the fire) and self induced hallucinations born out of fear that is attacking/haunting your weak/old heart.

Why did it take me half an hour to realise Hans and Greta are a reference to Hänsel und Gretel?

[@NorthernRealmJackal]

Not really a "reference", just a regional variation/translation of the name. Gretel, Grethe, Gréta etc. are all just diminutives of Margrethe. Hansel/Hans is the short form of Johannes. Most European languages have their own translations of such (historically) common names.

[@kodomoshawn6729]

@@NorthernRealmJackal wait, so would calling them Margaret and John be a sneaky way to reference Hansel and Gretel?

[@Soroboruo]

20:41 scared the hell out of me, incredible use of interface screw. Amazing how they took a goofy premise, made it pretty scary, and then pushed that by messing with the player perceptions. I like at 35:06 you can see the marker or chalk or whatever in Hans' hand, implying that he made the 'door' for Greta to escape through. I wonder if he's the one supposed to be setting up the little dioramas, too?

Haven’t seen the connection in the comments, but with the implication of the girl leaving and the protag sharing her name I think they are the same person. Just a thought. Edit: I commented too early lol, the game makes this connection very clear xd.

[@KillerGameDev]

Haha. When the kid upstairs is breathing but not moving. Almost didnt see it. some of them were very subtle. Super cool game.

[@Matomoru]

Do you know when that was?

[@peterhammann2468]

I'm fairly certain that the ones that pass inspection are just directly loaded onto super-wide trucks and for the haunted ones there's just an ininerator shaped like the exact foundation of the house that it gets dropped into.

[@Starfleet8555]

My theory is that the cabins are not actually haunted. Rather it's just the main-character's memories that's that's triggering a PTSD episode. Since we know the main character's story is that they were there when the cabin burned down. I think in the story the job the main character has (cabin inspector) is actually a facade. In reality the company is testing the main character see how she reacts. All the cabins are the same and in fact there exact replica cabin the main character was at when her cabin burned down when she was a kid. So, I think company is actually testing her to see how she reacts so, therefore the cabins are not actually haunted.

[@batlover1977]

I LOOOVE the mechanics of that diorama and the invisible ghosts, so creepy and so cool

[@SpecsWitched]

Now we just need a bait and switch Exit 8 styled game where the last inspection has a ghost begging to be ignored so they can live and depending on your choices you go on an adventure with the ghost, making the Exit 8 styled part of the game just the intro.
