How did Rebecca's father die?

[Roderick Rotvocht]

The scene in hell seems to imply that Rebecca bashed his head in herself (delirious from drugs?), whereas the scene on the beach might show that the dad is attacked by some external force with apparent immortal strength.

Unrelated: (1) why can't we do anything with some of the available materials (e.g., cremation bags, bleach, etc.)? Or have I simply missed what you can do with them?; (2): what is the purpose of the Octahedron-shaped 'sigil' that appears sometimes?

I really enjoyed the game!

My interpretation of it which makes more sense for a logical explanation is The scene in hell is not a memory but pure hallucination, but alludes to his head being caved in by a rock. In the other scene it is raining and you hear him say like "woah, ♥♥♥♥!" which is like him losing his balance. It's at this point that he falls down on a rock busts his head in.

Thanks for giving your take on it! To me, it sounded like the dad got attacked on the beach, rather than him losing his balance. Mainly because of the sense of confusion that comes before the 'oh ♥♥♥♥', and the extreme speed at which he falls (however, the latter could also be an amplification in Rebecca's memory to serve as a jumpscare effect for the player).

As for the headbashing scene in hell being nothing but a hallucination: could be!

It's highly likely to be essentially nothing but a hallucination since Rebecca deffinetely blames herself for her fathers death and it's something they mention quite alot how the demon will try to use "the darkest parts of you" against you.

I'm personally cautious to take alot of the visions at 100% face value since it's unclear how much might've been "embellished" for a lack of better words, by the demon, but over all I agree with SayYouLoveVi. Her dad likely lost his footing and smashed his head on a rock when comming back. Rebecca blames herself for his death because of her, at the time, drug problem which eventually escalated to causing the overdose she was suffering when her dad finally found her, leaving her helpless to essentially just watch as he died

I've warmed up to seeing it this way. You guys are probably right. Thanks for clearing this up!
