It might allude to the time the game is set in?

[Gabriel]

If you want to look at it in the most tunnel visioned way possible then sure...

I thought the same thing about 30 minutes in, but quickly had to change my mind. The game has absolutely nothing to do with the holocaust. I'm sure you'll agree once you have finished it.

[WIFEBURGER]

I definitely believe that the whole game alludes towards genocide, but not specifically the Holocaust.

[Silverkite]

so game is about something that never happened,like this game itself

Not as tunnel visioned as you might think. In chapter 4 you'll see a lot of fat people who have very pig-like facial features which could be a result from eating too much of the meat. Likewise you (the protagonist) are in a position without power and everything seems big and scary to you. Also, everyone is after you trying to eat/slaughter you. The game could very well be a critism towards society's absurd overconsumption of meat. Oh well, only the devs know for sure.

That's what I was guessing from the videos I've seen. I'm happy it's got great reviews. I'll have to grab it soon.

But those "pig faces" arent even the real faces, they are masks made of flesh. every once in awhile you see that they are seamed and not the actual face.

The ending makes literally no sense if youre thinking its the holocaust.

The shoes thing is more than liekly the remains of the people they ate and turned into food.
the whole game is about food.

You might notice none of those cuts of "meat" are animal in nature. They are absolutley human,
and one more thing about the shoes' remember the guy that was hanging? And the frequent nooses throughout?

In Japan, you remove your shoes before commiting suicide.

You know, this could be a more literal reflection of reality than we (like to) think.

Cannibalism, child abduction, fat rich people feeding off the population. Lighting lamps to bring light to the dark - is that not a reflection of more and more people waking up to the truth of our (current) existence?

Only played through once, but pretty sure I saw some well known symbols in there too.

(Cannibalism? who eats human beings nowadays?!)

[RUN PROGRAM > SENTIONAUTS]

I can't stop thinking about A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Both take place in bizarre word that is not quite like our own, both is from prespective of a child in a world filled with uncaring. evil adults. Along the way kids have to adapt to world around them by having to do some questionable stuff to survive.
Then there is the eye motif ofc.

Well and same as in A Series of Unfortunate Events I dont think weird world itself is suppose to make sense. It doesn't matter WHY exactly all the weird and scary stuff hapens. Thats just reality of the world it takes place in.
I think you should 100% take it at face value.

For example you don't really play as kid right? We can see human babies at start of the game. So if we are not human...what are we? That is something I wanna know.

I think that this Lady made a contract with some kind of supernatural entity or demons.
Because of this, she was granted dark magic powers and perhaps immortality.
To fulfill the contract, she was forced to make human sacrifices once a year.
If she did not do this, then the ship and all its inhabitants might have been destroyed.
I also think that the ship is a kind of shelter from the unknown disaster that occurs in the outside world.

Because of the dark magic, the entire crew of the ship, the cooks, the watchmans and Lady eventually lost theit human shape, changed into something like demons or monsters.

Perhaps they are immortal, long dead or already ghosts.

This girl was the daughter of the Lady, but she sent her away because she was afraid that girl would become more stronger than her or replace her on the ship.
