But gameplay-wise, it IS just a constant string of scares that are also metaphors/symbolism that you aren't even going to pick up on the first time. The backstory doesn't change, just the endings (except in the DLC where you play through the daughter's memories, and your choices influence her opinion on her parents). The story is definitely a bit more original than you figured, but I can still see why you might dislike it. It will make me throw up spinning around trying to look activateables. Some of the game mechanics as mentioned earlier made me feel dizzy rather than scared. The story line was a bit too revealing from the first 5 minutes. The best was probably the cat maze picture, and didnt particularly feel that was good. I knew from the first 5 minutes, where the story line was going.Īlso the final chapter, finiding pieces of checkers pieces, and the game spinning around, made me feel sick more than scared. I mean as soon as I was in the art studio right at the start, and could not see my reflection in the mirror. I figured the end was when I saw a book of 'thanks' credits. And him keep trying to kill stuff, to make perfect picture and failing. The paintings are almost all perfect, with the exception of various burn marks or scars on the wife's face.Well I got a portrait of his wife. In the Neutral Ending, if you return to the room of failures, the player can see the true forms of the discarded paintings.The painting is suggested to be created out of his wife's remains, judging by the nature of the objects collected for the magnum opus.He throws himself into the fire, and dies by self-immolation. He realizes that all his hard work will never bring his family back, and burns all his paintings. The Selfless Ending is a picture of the Wife and the Child.He realizes here that all of the pain and suffering was worth the price of restoring his talent. The Selfish Ending is a self-portrait of the Painter, which ends in a showcase of his work.The Painter returns to his studio, where he starts the process all over again in an never ending cycle. He throws the painting into a pile of other failures. The painting taunts him, and he cries out in frustration as he almost completed his work. The Neutral/Loop Ending is a picture of the Wife, that initially is perfect, but becomes disfigured with burn scars. ![]() In the final form, there are three different paintings, each representing how the artist accepts his actions. This iteration of the portrait is the second to last variant of the Magnum Opus and is the most recognizably human of the variants prior to iteration seven. This iteration of the portrait contains a recognizable human bust, though large swaths of skin and flesh are missing from the subject, making the bust appear heavily mutilated. The white color of the 'face' and 'neck' resemble a fish turned on its tail. ![]() The shape in the portrait begins approach that of a human bust, though the resemblance is vague in this iteration. (It may refer to the tale of the red riding hood that can be seen at the beginning of the game.) Though the painting somewhat a wolf raising its paw, its ribs the entrance of the cave, it also mildly resembles a scorpion with one of its claws larger than the other. The appearance of this iteration of the portrait resembles the entrance to a cave dripping with a bright red liquid. As the name implies, there are two splashes of paint on the portrait that somewhat resemble flamingoes with bright red feathers. The background of this iteration of the portrait is similar in appearance to its predecessor, although much, much darker. This is the starting canvas every player encounters, regardless of actions completed prior to this. The Empty Canvas comprises of a muddled green and off-white backdrop with grungy-looking edges and a two small red paint splatters. The content of the work, and the fate of the artist, are determined by the player's actions. Using the body parts of his beloved wife, the painter seeks to create his greatest work. Haunted by his wife's disfigurement and death, he seeks to create his masterpiece in order to bring back what life took from him. The mere sight of the work inspires fear, disgust, sadness, which causes the player to fall further into madness. ![]()
