[BIG SPOILER] Kat

[zodi_kid]

Don't open this if you have not completed Tape 1

Do you think Kat dies? Or maybe it's just Don't Nod leading us to think so to play with our expectations. Or, even better, we can determine wether at the end of the story, she survives or dies, maybe at the cost of sacrificing something to the Abyss

As she doesn't appear at the bar, nor any of the women make any mention of being waiting for her/expecting her to show up, it is heavily implied that she died, probably of leukemia. But she also felt kinda suicidal when she discovered the Abyss, and seemed ready to jump into it. Maybe she eventually does, and doesn't die; she instead becomes a supernatural entity that becomes corrupted and seeks vengeance.

She could also be the sender of the package, whose contents have yet to be revealed.

(Also, since I am already theorising things, I think the Bartender might be Corey)

What are your thoughts??

When I was watching a video of this and Swann and Autumn met up in the bar I was maybe thinking one of them died and this was the promise they kept not to speak about it but I was thinking maybe they did something at the cabin that lead to her death

And yeah the bartender and Pam seem to be a bit weird

I’m hoping she sent the box. Now knowing she is sick, I’m genuinely surprised she didn’t use her wish on getting better.

I don't know if this is accurate or not but I swear the shadow figure that spawns for a frame in the cabin looked like Kats outline. That might have been my mind playing tricks on me though.

I don't know she doesn't seem to be doing too well emotionally. May not have wanted to get better.

doesn't she though? she said smth about her dying in this city and asks abyss to save her or smth like that

[acidvirdgin]

I guess she's alive. There's an achievement for tape 2 that says "support Kat desicion", so personally I think she's alive, but maybe she's as you said, some kind of a supernatural entity from abyss

[zodi_kid]

I replayed the scene to be sure. She asks the Abyss to get them all out. Maybe she has come to terms with the fact that she’s going to die, and her final wish is to do so somewhere else. Or perhaps she hopes her illness will be cured or downplays its severity, choosing instead to use her wish in a way that benefits the entire group, not just herself.

Someone removed the shadow effect and found out it's indeed kat. [i.4cdn.org] I can't tell if this is possibly a model of adult Kat or not

I mean, that could just as easily be an achievement so something with Kat in the past. Even likely something about her coming to tterms with her death.

I feel like chances of her being dead are higher than her being alive. Like maybe that's the whole thing they're trying to forget and get away from. Maybe they blamed themselves and that's why they felt they couldn't be together. Maybe Dylan sent that package, to make sure they remembered Kat. To not let her be forgotten.

Oh wow I must have missed that one.
I saw two other shadows, one just in the woods at one point and another in the future when looking out the window. I thought it was some dude, possibly Corey actually which started to lead me to believe that they were going to end up responsible for his death by the end as the twist

I uh.. didn't see the leukemia thing coming. How treatable was that in 1995? My default expectation is that Kat is dead, unless the package somehow was sent by her in Part 2.

[astrolxtl]

i could see it going either way, honestly. dontnod is good at shocking their players and all that, but kat seems to important for her story to end there. i kind of hope she's dead, just because i feel like that'd be more interesting. the entire first tape i was actually hoping someone would end up dead, since the entire game was so lighthearted (for the most part)

i was kind of disappointed by the sickness, though. i saw it coming because of the way kat was coughing all the time, and for some reason, characters cant just cough in a video game, they have to be sick. i thought her death would be by supernatural or.. worse.. causes..

I found another in the tree house hunting thing at night time just before you find the purple hole.

I'm waiting for someone to compile a list of all the shadow sightings somewhere

What are your thoughts??

Omg now that you said about bartender, I can see the resemblance. It would make sense
