The REAL ending explained ( SPOILERS )

[wtfxxeno]

Okay so in the beggining you see a red dude take timmy ( your son ) and walk off with him. He is known as the Red Mutant. In the end you will se a projector of some mutants and their names and their ages, they are children. The projector reads their age, mutation specifications and " parents are willing to pay " . If you go farther you will find many " observation room 001-020 " these are children that were brought back life.

I think that some organization found a way to bring people back to life but had to sacrifice a living person to do so ( not knowing a year later they would turn into mutants ) . So for a while they had a base on this random island, in a forest, under a cave in a sink whole, and past a vault door. They would take paying parents and say " we can bring your dead child back to life for money " and what parent would not do that so they were making money and people were getting their kids back... for a year only.

The first artifact they found was the pyramid shaped thing which sacrifices a living person to bring somone back and the second one brings down a plane. So the Scientists or the resurection group had the kids and the artifacts to bring people back to life but no people to use for sacrifice. This is where the second artifact comes in handy. The second artifact was used to bring down planes and crash them down so the resurection group could take any survivors and use them to bring kids back to life for a LOT of cash from paying parents.

All was going well until later the kids would seiz and turn into a mutant, so the scientists asked for ALL of the kids back for "observation" and were put into rooms to keep them away from the real world. All went to hell as you see most of the observation rooms were broken open and blood is everywhere (probably the original scientits) And the Mutated kids were roaming free on this island and very angry ( you kill armsy a 6 year old mutated kid ).

So I think that mathew cross (megans father) is a scientist for sahara theropeutics and he worked with the resurection artifact that they had found in the cave and they had built a lab around the artifact to make money off of bringing peoples children back to life.

Somehow Megan cross was dead and mathew cross's main research on the resurection artifact was to bring his daughter back from the dead and he also had her body. Obviously he could not do this alone and had to have a team/company to help him build the lab and work on the children. I think they made money from all of the survivors from your plane crash ( the first crash ) by using them to bring back the children and also to bring back the head scientists daughter Megan. So mathew had crashed your plane and took timmy while wearing blood on his body so he could use timmy to bring back megan from the dead.

shortly after megan was brought back to life all of the other resurected children started mutating. I think it took longer for others to mutate ( megan, timmy ) because they were given a lower "dose" as you can read on a post note that they are given a certain dose of something to bring them to life. So megan was alive and well while all of the others were mutating. I think the first stage of the mutation is just a normal slimey mutant as you fight them through out the game ( they will later turn into monster freaks ) because when you first find megan she is covered in slime like the mutants but she has not turned into a big monster yet. so the other kids were in the observation rooms and they were mutants but not monsters and the scientists knew something was wrong. The kids that were given a higher dose were the ones that turned into the monsters first and broke out of their rooms only to kill most of the scientists, somehow mathew and megan survived this.

shortly after that, megan had killed her father with pencils ( as you see in the lab ) and she was about to turn into monster like the rest. So she walked to a big room with her fathers blood on her feet and sat on the floor, colored, and played with a toy plane. this is when you come around to try and find a sacrifice for your child.

Now at this point you have already found the lab and found dead timmy in the artifact and need to find a sacrifice for the machine to bring timmy back to life ( not knowing the sacrifice needs to be alive) You find megan and she turns into a tree mutant thing ( about a year after her resurection) you kill megan for the second time and she is brough back to the artifact and you find out you need a live sacrifce to bring your son back.

Megan drops a keycard ( probably got it from her dad the scientist ) and you go onto the next room to find the second artifact. You see the radar and press the activate button and see a yellow colored plane crash into the forest ( our plane was blue that is how i know you do not see your own plane crash de-bunking the theory that you are the red guy that picked up timmy in the beggining ). The cutscene starts with " 1 year later".

Now when the plane crashed my theory is that you went down to the yellow plane and found a live sacrifice ( someones son/daughter) to bring timmy back to life, brought the child back to the artifact and brought timmy back to life ( not knowing timmy would ever turn ). Now back to the cutscene, Your book is called "rescued" which means you were rescued from the island either by a searchteam or a passing boat less than a year later with your son timmy. I know you got off the island less than a year after timmys resurection because he had to have time to write a book.

So timmy is twitching out and acting weird but you proceed and talk to the man hosting the show. After about 20 seconds it goes scilent and the curtans open in the back to show two standing trees, The host probably wants to chop wood with you like you did in your survival. You are thinking " well sh*t i do not want to do this ever again that was the worst thing of my life ". You look at the crowd, and look back at the host and nodd your head yes. You proceed to chop the invincible wood with the host and hear the worst noise of your life. The host drops his axe in fear while you stare at your own only to think you will have to kill your own son because he is about to turn into a crazy mutant just like you saw megan. And that is when the cutscene ends.

Now all of the children that were resurected turned into different monster/mutants. There was virginia who turned into a 6 legged creature with multiple sex orgins as seen on the projector and found dead in the lab. There was a 6 year old kid who turned into armsy who you killed not to far past the dead virginia mutation body. There was a really really REALLY big mutated kid found in observation room H right after you kill armsy who inflated to the entire room. And then there was megan who turned into that tree monter thing which we saw go down. There is no telling what timmy turned into as we did not see but it couldnt have been anything like the others because they were all so different there is no way to tell but whatever he turned into, it went down on live TV and either you killed you mutated son or it killed you and everyone in there.

This has been one of the most plot twisting and most crazy storys/endings in a video game that i have ever seen and this game diserves IGN 10/10 lmao, seriously these devs are so crazy for this i do not know how they came up with any of this stuff and peiced it together so well but we as a community need to figure out what the hell went down on this mysterious island.

sometime within the year of timmys resurected life i think there was a father/mother that survived the yellow plane that you took down and he probably already found his kid in the artifact where you left him dead to bring back your son, so he is going to bring down another plane and get a child from the crash and take that kid back to the artifact and resurect his child that you killed for your own. All while your resurected kid is turning into a mutant from the resurection on LIVE TV!

Still reading through your synopsis. So far I like it. I'll mention a few things though and poke some holes.

I wouldn't call him Red Mutant. It seems that he is just a man covered in red paint. Someone suggested that the reason cannibals bow to you with red paint on is because they were transformed into what they are, after being revived by the red man, who they now recognize as some kind of god.

The artifacts were not built by humans and the complex was constructed around them, not for them to be built inside. The construction materials and design is nothing like any other device in the complex. There's no good explanation why this machine would have to look so different than the rest of the complex and also be built on a stone that the complex is built around. The artifacts were discovered by spelunkers, thought it's not clear how they discovered the life saving/genetic engineering aspect of the devices.

I don't think Megan was brought to the island dead, but it's certainly not clear. She may have been kidnapped.

The fact that the artifact could bring down a plane was a discovery. Also Matthew Cross was a lead or high ranking scientist as is evidenced by his

I'll get behind your theory that parents were paying for their children to be revived, but I don't think that the second artifact brought down any more than two planes. Part of the evidence for the missing children is in the sailboat. You find that children have been going missing and the people who brought the sailboat were likely investigating. If there were more planes being brought down in the past, the island would have been investigated by the NTSB and other transportation saftey boards around the world. It is also known that the Red Man has used the sailboat and if you start a brand new game and sprint to the sailboat location, you'll see him enter the boat.

Thank you for the support man i have updated my theory based on your suggestions but if there were no previous plane crashes then why did the scientists need the artifact to bring down planes? and also who would they have used for resurections for all of the other resurected children that had already been through the mutation, there were at least 5 or 6 probably more so that means 5-10 sacrifices were needed to bring them back to life. and also the planes would have been investigated but that is why i have the bermuda triangle theory, the planes mysteriously disapeared and no body knew what happened to them.

[wtfxxeno]

sorry strayloch i could not paragraph this ♥♥♥♥ i was too hyped from the ending it is way too crazy and mysterious i just need help finding out all the details lol

[Crazyloon]

The main character (the player) is a TV Star. This is evidenced by the magazine cover in the cockpit of the plane. It reads: TV Star's wife dies or something similar. The fact that he writes a book about his survival is a natural progression of his current character, and a way for him to monotize his trials. I think he has a pretty big ego, and being a part of the lime-light is a huge adrenaline rush for him. I like to think of him as a Bear Grylls type of character.

I believe that our plane crash is the first to occur, and the plane we take down to find a live subject to revive Timmy is the second and only other plane to be brought down. (refer to comments above about NTSB, they don't wait to investigate plane crashes, and the planes are very likely to have had radio contact up until the point where they were brought down)

During the final scene, the voices start out very muted, and the player goes into a sort of unfocused trance. He's living the moment, but he's fully absorbed in his own thoughts and fears about Timmy's condition (he's seen the twitch and fears the onset of a seisure like he witnessed with Megan).

When he looks at his axe, he's crying inside as he's quickly coming to the realization that he will have to kill his son to save the live audience and himself.

I completly disagree with the cyclical story line that is being suggested. Though it seems plausible on the face of it, plane crashes whose remants completly vanish with out a trace are incredibly rare. We're talking about 150 planes in the past 160 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_missing_aircraft

For reference, in 2014 there were an average of 102,465 flights per day.

The NTSB or governing body of the aircraft and any of it's passengers will all be involved immediately, and like I said above, the planes probably had radio signal up until they were brought down.

[I'll keep adding to this, but It's hard to keep my thoughts organized while I try to read this wall of text. Could you do me a favor and ad some paragraph breaks in it?] EDIT: Thanks!

They didn't need it to bring down a plane, they happened to discover that it could possibly do so. I don't think bringing down a plane was the focal point of the device, it was just discovered that it had the potential to do so, possibly some time after the major incident that cause an outbreak. But admittedly, I think we're both just wading in a pool of possibilities here with out a whole lot of tangible evidence.

and also who would they have used for resurections for all of the other resurected children that had already been through the mutation, there were at least 5 or 6 probably more so that means 5-10 sacrifices were needed to bring them back to life.

My theory here is that children were abducted and brought to the island for sacrifice, only children seem to be able to give the gift of life via the artifact. Missing children are evidenced on the sailboat, but there is no evidence of multiple plane crashes. The only plane remains you will find belong to the plane you rode in.

"It is reported that at least 20 planes and 50 ships have gone missing in the Bermuda Triangle in the last 100 years."

I think it's too likely that the planes had radio contact up until they went down, not that radio contact = actually transmitting/communicating with others. But their transponders will signal information about their location and speed almost continuously

It could be that more planes were shot down by the artifact but they crashed into the sea.
That way the story from above synopsis works while at the same time explaining where the aircrafts go.

[Crazyloon]

I'm going to take another deep dive into the complex to do some more research and get some more screen shots. I didn't take as much time as I would have liked to explore the first time because I was with a friend, and we had to go down to the door 4 times before bugs and crashes allowed us to pass the door.

all good, it was difficult to read but I agree with a lot of what you said :)

[BIT Bear]

Yeah. I haven't found all clues myself either. I'm just trying to think with you.
Still missing 6 passengers, flintlock and some toy parts. So i'm positive this isn't all of this story.

This is certainly a possibility. Or the plane remants could have been disposed of by the scientists, though there is no evidence of this either.

I'll add, though, that if the planes were brought down and crashed into the water, it's not likely anyone survived to be used as subjects. And for reasons i've mentioned above, bringing down a plane is going to 100% attract investigators to your island as the planes transponders were likely transmitting up until the crash, or possibly even throughout.

Regardless of whether or not you find the toy parts, you will hand timmy the whole toy during the cutscene in which you first find him. Hopefully something changes here in that regard.

[wtfxxeno]

okay so i have updated my theory taking out the plane crashed before ours and taking out the theory that this is a cycle because i can agree that we have no evidence to prove that but i still think it is a possibility, i have also paragraphed the entire think LOL sorry about that.

[wtfxxeno]

oh and just to put it out there, I only called him the Red mutant because that is what people referred to him before this revealing update.

[wtfxxeno]

*bump*

fun to read!
