A theory about what happened to Jessica *Spoilers ahead*
I believe I finally understood what happened to Jessica.
If you haven't played the game yet, now it's a good time to close this thread.


I will use this video as a reference to events that happen in the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4rPomXaGC4
When I say "at 1:23" for example, I mean 1:23 in the video.

So we start before the actual meeting of Blake and Jessica. At 18:49 we can see a chatlog between Jessica and unknown catholic woman.It seems that both Jessica and the woman experience violence. Jessica asks the woman if she is allowed to call the police if someone from the family hurt her The woman asks her if she can talk to one of their teachers and she doesn't reply.

The following part is obvious but I want to mention it:
At 32:58 we can see that Jessica and Blake play together after school.
Later on at 32:15 we can see that Jessica cares about the relationship between Blake and Lyne.
This part continues at 26:30 and leads to the interesting part at 28:35.

At 29:35 father loutermilch asks Jessica if he needs to call her father again. Jessica shakes and says "No please".
During the whole converation, Jessica begs Blake to stay because she knows father loutermilch is going to hurt her.

At 32:02 we can see that father loutermilch killed Jessica, however, it doesn't not explains why Jessica suicided with the rope, a scene which can be seen a lot during the story. However, if we look at 24:37 we can see that this sence takes place from the exact same place after Jessica died, and according to the video, the name of this scene is "Murder before suicide . Blakes sees that father loutermilch killed Jessica and Blakes runs away and hides in the bathroom. At 25:40 we can see that Jessica is hung on the rope at the same place she was killed and we hear the father says "You are not evil, just confused"

In the following video there are hidden messages in the recordings of the school areas.
The last message is the most interesting one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kksZDqz3KnM
"You killed her, but i never told a soul. I kept your secret. Our secret. Thank you. Thank you. Never told a soul. You let the smaller sorrow of her suicide wash over the unacceptable tragedy of her murder."
This quote is said by Blake and obviously refers to the father.


In this video we can see that Blake tries to explain to yourself why he's not guilty
https://youtu.be/PUCHB3WaAfo?t=43m3s
This raises the question why blake has to feel guilty?

At 1:15 we can see a message that was by signed Jessica. Watch the message in the video. This message is actually a suicide letter. However we've already seen that the father killed her. So now the question remained: What happened to Jessica, did she suicide or was killed by the father?


Conclusions:
-According to the chatlog between the father and jessica, and the chatlog between jessica and the unknown woman, we can assume that father loutermilch and Jessica's father are cooperating, while both fathers r*aped or hit her

-The hidden message says that the tragedy is the murder and not the suicide

-The hidden message says that Blake did not tell anyone what father loutermilch did to Jessica

-Blakes feels guilty for telling no one about the murder

-The hidden messages points towards father loutermilch hid the murder

-The following evidence show that father loutermilch faked Jessica's suicide to hide his terrible actions

-Blakes feels guilty for telling no one about the murder, and helping father loutermilch to cover the murder by writing the suicide letter


that's pretty much it, thank you so much for reading, tell me what do you think down in the comments

Shameless push

Good theory. All we have to do is wait for a dlc or idk what to find out what really happened. But that theory is close enough to be truth

Thank you so much for reading, I put a lot of effort here.

Regards what you said Papa Knoth,we can't be 100% sure about r*ape, unless you have an evidence. The chatlog in the computer and the sence with the father can point directly toward violence.

An interesting theory, but in this part:

"You killed her, but i never told a soul. I kept your secret. Our secret. Thank you. Thank you. Never told a soul. You let the smaller sorrow of her suicide wash over the unacceptable tragedy of her murder."

I think this one and all of the recordings of the school is the father praying to god. In this one in particular, i think he is thanking god for "killing" Jessica, because she fell and broke her neck on the stairs, perhaps trying to escape from the father in some kind of struggle between them.

I still don´t know why Blake says that Jessica hanged herself during the game if he already knew that Jessica was killed.

Some theories say all the people in the village shared the same illusions, and Blake started to see those as well. There was never a baby.

The recording sound like Blake

Blake said she hanged herself because he didn't want to say the truth, and he helped the father to cover it up. He may feel that if he will tell the truth as a grown up, there will be consequences, so he rathers keep shuting up.

It's pretty obvious that the priest killed her and Blake was repressing it ever since. This is the reveal in the final scene. Near the beginning of these school scenes, I was getting the impression that our boy Blake here was caught between two girls who wanted him and one killed themself (Jessica) because Blake chose the other (Lynn). So I think Blake as a child went along with the coverup because it put him in the clear with Lynn, though it obviously dug away at his thoughts. This was implied right before Jessica dies with the whole questioning Blake if Lynn was his girlfriend or not.

HOWEVER, this is all beside the overlying story here: the Walrider. The monster in Blake's school scenes is a/the Walrider. Creating and controlling the Walrider is the point of Murkoff's projects. So when Blake was visualizing these events at the school, it was a mental mechanism. Jessica says that she will always be a part of Blake, and she is usually there to warn Blake that the Walrider is closing in on taking him over.

So essentially, Jessica is the one thing in Blake's mind that he won't let go of. She is his rock. The only way to ever defeat total insanity is to fixate on one thing in your mind, and for Blake, that is Jessica. Curiously enough, Jessica means more to Blake than Lynn (his wife) in this regard.

By the way, the walrider is actually father loutermilch. They both have the same red scar on their face

I think it's pretty obvious that the monster itself is a foreign and sentient psychic entity (loads of evidence in OL and OL2 to support this being a plot point of OL2). That being said, Blake visualizing the Walrider in these visions as a monster resembling the pedo-priest would fit right in. He's trying to subconciously rationalize things, after all.

Personally, when I saw the priest in the final vision and noticed the mark on his head, I assumed that he was probably the Walrider itself changing tactics.

I don´t think the walrider makes any appearence in this game. The demon that haunts Blake is his mental representation of the father Loutermilch.

And I still think that is the father Loutermilch the one that talks, or better said, prays in the school recordings. Why Blake should be thankful fot the death of Jessica? If you listen all the recordings, to which character you think represents more? Blake, or the Father Loutermilch? By the context of the audio, I think is the Father, and not Blake.

Blake was faded between the reality and the imagined world. The blood bathroom is the blood rain in the reality

I didn't play or seen gameplay of OL1. I assumed walrider is the name of the creature that hunts him.

You should probably play OL1 if you want to understand what's going on with the plot.

If you want spoilers, then I'll tell you (so be warned). OL1 takes place in an insane asylum. It is owned by a corporation called Murkoff which has a secret lab under the asylum where they are conducting experiments.

The experiment is to merge a magnetized nano-technology with a host, essentially as a bio-organic weapon. The subjects of this experiment are the inmates of the asylum, and the goal is to find one who is of just the right mindset that they can merge with and control this nano-technology. But these experiments make every inmate go completely insane and violent, and the lab itself produces side-effects that create a shared hallucination leading to religious factions.

The Waldrider is the name given to the nano-machine projected humanoid produced by one successful host, because it is a monster in German mythology (the chief scientist is a Nazi, by the way) and people in the asylum think it's a monster because of their hallucinations.

By the end of OL1, you find memos where directors of Murkoff are talking about how they are ok with losing the asylum facility because they built a better one on a mountain. They also make a point to talk about the effects of the project on women in these memos, and how women will be involved in other project.

Point is that there is more than enough evidence in OL2 to know that this is all an engineered experiment by Murkoff, which is based in that factory on the hill- which is the source of the microwaves that are causing hallucinations.

The monster in Blake's vision is obviously his interpretation of the Waldrider. There's alot in common with the Waldrider from the first OL, and honestly, this is far from the first time this has been done in a game/movie/TV show. Y'all never watched Evangelion before? lol
