The woman under the ice (spoilers)

[Nyota Mwuaji]

So the woman trapped in the ice, the mother of the character from the first one I assume, how'd she get stuck there? How'd her ship wind up under the ice?

Just finished the game. I was slightly disturbed when discovered her body, but regarding to the portrait and child`s painting in the beginnig of the second game, it`s likely mother of the second protagonist, but why her mother had picture of the first protagonist, that`s the question

[special_user]

maybe they're siblings?

Its clear the dead woman lived with the child from game 2 based on the starting home. As you progress you find her workshop where she made the boat (the plans are on the wall). I believe she was trying to reach the child from game one (hence the picture) and the 2 children from game 1 and 2 are likely related (siblings?). I suspect the child from game 2 waited and waited for her return, got tired of waiting and decided to set off in a damaged craft they had in storage (perhaps he spent time doing repairs on if before he left).

The protagonists are siblings. The disaster stranded the two halves of the family on opposite sides of the ice wall.

When you start the game for the first time, you reach a house where there is a hammock bedroom, with a drawing of the boy of the 2nd game and the woman.
Inside the building next to it, you will see the giant framed painting of the woman with flowers.
This is the same woman you see in the child drawing, wich indicate for some that this may be their mother, or probably their mother from adoption, or even so someone they knew and adored alot.
When you reach the ice zone and meet her in person, shes dead and has a drawing or picture of the girl Lone from the 1st game in their hands.
This would suggest that they could be siblings because they both are related to the woman somehow.
The thing about the ice wall is far fetched, since Lone is in the higher grounds where the water is flowing to the lower grounds, making massive floods and drying the higher grounds.

My theory is that the woman had the picture of the child Lone from the 1st game as a reminder of their lost child, but as you can see, its only one picture, and not two of both of the kids.
But since we know that the boy from the 2nd game has a child drawing of the woman and themself in it, it would suggest they are related. But i doubt thats the real case.

If they're siblings, they certainly take the "play it cool" approach when they reunite at the end. :)

What’s more confusing to me is why the ice formed by a waterfall lol
