Having played through it 3 times now - it must be a rather subtle clue.

It wouldn

Yeah, I called. In fact, I think that one is mandatory. But Agustin's post suggested there was more to it.

You're right about this game, though. I don't think I've ever spent more time discussing theories about a video game. Some movies I have, but games? Pretty impressive when you think that several different theories can exist and they all have substantial evidence behind them.

It appears I might be regarded as an entire other planet heard from.

Welcome to this discussion Shelby and you thoughts are interesting and thought provoking....and if you are right I suggest it means there is to be a sequel somehow....
Age here is not important, and isn't it interesting that we on GB have very young (under 20 yrs) players all the way up to over 80 year old players and we find EVERYONE interesting and fun - I myself was born in 1936, turned 70 last month and I dearly love my computer and these games. Crafty? yes, I guess I am, like my crafts, make all my own springnsummer hats and crochet caps (head warmers) for chemotheraphy patients. Like to make my own jewelry to match my outfits too. Love to crochet. Love to read. ALSO LOVE to TALK!
Still wondering who would note the policemans telephone number on that newspaper - perhaps the maid since she made the report of the murder to the police, then how did those newspapers end up stored in the attic?
Love, Betty Lou :kiss:

Shelby, just so there are no misunderstandings; I like metaphysical and welcome your ideas. The true fun of this whole thread, and this whole game, is that as soon as I'm sure I know what's going on, someone suggests a different and usually better interpretation. Thanks for the new concepts and keep those ideas coming. Now, could someone please tell me what I missed in the credits. I've watched 'em three times but can't get any direct connections to anything.

I would like to know too, I seem to be missing whatever it is. Shelby, so glad you joined us, the more the merrier, and I never thought I would be the one to 'start something' with my posting the discovery of the Thalidomide....what fun!
Love, Betty Lou

My only assumption is that Agustin is talking about those creepy glowing eyes you see in the dark before Robin jumps out at you. It matches what was described in the journal about the tribe.

Okay, I replayed the ending sequence again, and I didn't notice any difference by phoning the bank at the last possible minute.

What does the journal say about creepy glowing eyes? I thought that was just...you know, the normal sort of looking into a dark crevice and seeing creepy glowing eyes.

oh, PS--how did you all manage to follow all the conversation options for the bank call? I picked "christopher milton" first and after that was over I could never get anything else.

I read somewhere (It's not something I discovered.) that you have to save your game just before you make the phone call; and it must be after 9:00 on the last day. Once you choose one phone path, the game won't let you choose another. Make a call; choose a path, finish; quit; reload ; make another call; choose a different path. Note, in my opinion this won't clarify anything. It simply gives you more materials and details to be confused about. Isn't that what we all really like about this game??

This game surely has taken us all down many different paths - and the creepy glowing eyes in the dark 'hole', I did not find it unusual in a scary creepy game like this - reminded me of the same glowing eyes in Shivers 1, scared the bejeepers out of me then, took it in stride this time and did not 'read' any special clue into it....did I miss something here? Was it the glowing eyes being referred to? or something else.

I think we are missing something --- Agustin gave us a clue

---inferno

Correct me if I'm wrong, but was there a bone down there? Kinda big? Human-like?

I deleted all my saved games so I can't go back to it...Hmmmm, I'll have to load it up again, but I must be strong and finish some other things first.

Oh, I see it now. Took a screen capture. Will process it.

Edit: Hope this will be okay with Rael. I will post the pictures after I lightened them a bit.

My theory is that the good doctor got it at the end. Saw michael there, had the eviction notice sent, then went back to check on Robin. Only this time Robin attacked him. I think it would explain the freshness of the blood (red, not brown). Of course this all depends on whether or not there is a bone there and it is indeed human.

PS - No insider info here. I'm speculating just like you guys are!
