It’s time to finish the game.  If you have the CE, it’ll add another hour of gameplay and an interesting twist to the story.  You should be able to finish by Sunday, August 9.

Not finished yet, but just popping in to say that I loved the jigsaw puzzle on the TV screen. Especially since I’ve been in a bit of a jigsaw mood lately. It hit the spot. (I just wish it was more difficult.)


I’ve advanced far enough to have met Patient X aka our father. Can’t say I saw that twist coming.
My distrust for the hypnotic guy on floor 2 seems somewhat founded. I though it was ridiculous that we so eagerly burn a voodoo doll made with a picture of our own father. I was convinced that burning that doll would kill him so I went to check up on him IMMEDIATELY.
Good thing he was still alive - I feared the worst and personally would NEVER have burned that doll. And now I have the key to the medicine room, so I can cure the Angel.

I’m ready to theorize that the hypnotic guy is Dr. Luther himself, and by talking to him, we may be under his spell now...

No, no no. What I thought we did was that we gave the voodoo doll with the photo of our father to the “mage” and he gave us another doll to burn. It doesn’t change the fact that it is a WHAT THE HELL WERE WE THINKING??? moment. The mage probably wanted these “ingredients” for a reason. Being a telepath, it is not entirely out of the question that he thinks our father equally responsible of all these and wants to torment him for it.

Right you are. Totally misinterpreted that. Still, dad’s still in trouble, and we still probably killed someone for that key.

I still think that the Mage could be the infamous Dr. Luther, and that there maybe is more going on still behind the scenes of our escape.

Reached the ending. Was surprised at how much of a non-ending it really is. And can someone explain how that many cops are already there when we step outside? There were no working phones, so we didn’t call them.

I’ve also watched the CE bonus chapter on a YouTube Let’s Play. Pretty long chapter, imo. A lot of bonus value. And it’s a lot creepier than the main game, too.
Still no resolution to the story, though.

Is there a sequel in the works, or do they intend to keep things entirely open?

About the small chapter’s story: The use of her abilities to bring back her dog through a phot despite its death brought this….fallen angel in her house instead.... I find it simple, smart and touching the same time.

I fully agree. They could have distilled a great full game out of that, imo. It’s even better than the rogue military project - more potential because of the emotions involved.

I have also finished the game now.

I must confess that I never gave it a second though, when I gave him the material for a new doll, or burned the old voodoo doll.
When he asks for the material we don’t yet know that it is actually a voodoo doll that he is planing to make, just that it is a doll, which I didn’t find odd at all as he is clearly crazy.
And as for burning the old doll, well worst case it is made to represent one of the bad guys that captured us, so .. to hell with that. Besides it was just an old discarded doll, so I never really gave it a second thought.

Personally I just saw him as another poor victim who had gone completely crazy from the torture he had been subjected to. That he could be evil or even one of the antagonists, was something that never crossed my mind, but I guess that it is possible.

Yeah, that “It wasn’t the end, but only the beginning” or whatever, felt kind of cheap and unsatisfying.
As for the police, then the winged boy escaped before we did, so he could have called the police, or they could simply have been investigating our kidnapping and followed the clues to the asylum themselves, it is not like they were master criminals that didn’t leave any clues behind, in fact there was an abundance of clues pointing directly to the asylum.

You beat me to the punch with that picture, Sefir.  I was saving it until tomorrow.

Crabapple,
It’s always been a major premise in fiction that if you bring something back from the dead you risk bringing back evil.  The dark angel preyed upon the woman’s guilt about not telling her father, and it wasn’t until she accepted it and knew her father had forgiven her that she was able to defeat it.

I also wondered about the police at the end of the main game.  Maybe the father was able to summon them because we freed his abilities, not only his own but also those that had been taken from the other patients.  I also wondered who gave her the photo and why. 

At the very end of the CE, we see that one of Dr. Luther’s goons is tailing her, but I don’t think a sequel was ever made.

Could you post that link? I was unable to find it on YouTube.

So… Why wasn’t I flown to sunset on the arms of that hottie angel man?

It certainly was a non-ending. Kinda ominous one though, the police showing a photo on her face right off the bat. Nasty people always abusing people’s abilities.

I at least found this video from the bonus chapter, haven’t watched it fully yet myself.

Patient X was a nice twist with the origins and relationship to protagonist.

About the doll: right at the start I didn’t think about the doll, but when I had the materials aka pins and a photo, I kinda figured it out. Didn’t feel very nice giving him the photo of my dad but oh well, dad was rooting for our escape anyway, not his own. And while I did pick up on the “exchange of dolls” I did still need to go and check if I burned my dad by burning the doll.

Part 1 - Part 2

It’s a walkthrough rather than a Let’s Play, so there’s no commentary. Was not that easy to find with the F.A.C.E.S. name…

Edit: it’s the same one millenia linked to.

The lack of a present villain or antagonist always makes me suspicious. Well, there’s Dr. Luther and his goons but they’re nowhere to be found in the game, only in the intro and in flashbacks.

And I said earlier that, just by description alone, I had a suspicion that Patient X would be harmless, which made the Mage seem like the most likely “not to be trusted” character. And then he gave us a voodoo doll to burn...

The movie and the book Pet Cemetery by Stephen King came immediately to mind when I watched the bonus movie.
