SPOILERS: Story Discussion

[Natoriouspig]

So if you are reading this, you've beaten the game. I only know one path, and that is the exit door. If you chose the door, you killed both HER and White Face, and are now stuck in the hub. Kind of a good ending, but kinda not. You killed the two entities, and now you can't play the game anymore(unless you go through the folders and stuff). What do you think comes next? Will there be a sequel? Is whiteface really dead? I don't know what the flower path is, so tell me in the comments.

[Allie]

Flower Path: First of all, your heartless son of a gun, how could you not explore this option first!?!?!? I jest. You give the flower to whiteface, he's incredibly happy and touched, and he resets the game. I assume this continues ad infinitum.

My thoughts: I feel like it's ambiguous over whether whiteface is Her and vice versa, especially after what happens when you shoot with left mouse click. There seems to be differing levels of writing style in the notes you get from either, but the thought that whiteface 'evolves' into Her is another thing altogether.

Do I think you could craft a sequel out of this? Maybe! The creator did a crazy good job expanding upon the 2012 release, and I don't doubt their skills, but assuming it branches off of the loneliness ending, I don't think so. You killed someone. You may have killed multiple people. Nobody deserves a cookie for that.

Whiteface is data, and even if data is alive, it behaves a little weirdly. Can you bring whiteface back? Yeah, but is it the same whiteface? When you delete and restore data, is it really the same data? We're all heartless.

Just my thoughts. Cheers!

Hmm, that's interesting. Never thought that white face could be not evil. Now I feel bad :(

all white face wanted to do was play with you, scared to death that you might abandon him or kill him, and he just wants you to give him a flower -- and you kill him anyway.

you heartless wench.

Yeah after that ending i feel like a jerk.

[tipsyConfection]

Don't bash on a guy for what he's done.
He did what he should've done.
It's kill, or be killed.
Your own life is always more important than other's life.
It hurts, ofcourse, i didn't want to kill a thing that just didn't want to die, just wanted to have someone with it, but hell, i can't be a babysitter for eternity. Someday, i will die anyway. And White Face will not, until someone kills it.
So, it's better to end it as fast as you can.
So no one will suffer for too long.

Don't feel bad, my analysis on the story suggests that White Face is the soul of the person only refered to as HER.
HER commited suicide by hanging and her soul became trapped in the game, she fought back because she feared what came after death, heance the name I'M SCARED.
You weren't the one scared it was White Face scared of moving on, if you believe in heaven then you just sent HER soul to a better place.

Aren't White Face and HER the same person? At the first fake ending it says "I have many names, one of them is HER" or something like that. Doesn't that mean that they're the same?

Yeah, they are in my opinion.
HER is just who White Face used to be, before becoming White Face.

Aah i think i misread your other comment then, but now i understand and i agree with your theory

[CaptainKthulhu]

I believe that you play as HER during chapter 1 and 3 and in chapter 2 you play as White Face.

You shouldn't take this game as an "horror" game because it is a sad story too, or that's how I view it.

Maybe something happened that made White Face want to kill HER. Dunno.

[ReaderMorgan]

I think we're thinking to linerally for a game that intereacts with you and your computer directly What if white face and HER are two different "people" and when the game says "I go by many names" it's refering not to White face and HER specifically but the data/entity file itself? Remember in one of the fake endings the next name is Ivan Zanatti which is not only a male name but refers to none of the characters.

And at the very end the next name asked is. "take me to the dor" which isn't a name at all. So could there possibly be a third ghost? maniplatiing the story of White Face and HER? or is the Entity file itself some form life seperate from them? There are a lot of stories with "Rules" for ghosts, this one might just have rules too we haven't discovered.

You might be on the right track there. Assuming there is a third 'ghost', maybe by answering the question what it's name is you speak to it. When you answer it with "White Face", it shows you White Face's story and turns into him. When you answer it with "Her", it turns into Her and shows you her story. I don't remember what happened when you put in Ivan Zanotti and Take me to the door, but maybe that's a part of the explanation.

Also, there is a walkthrough of Im Scared here on Steam and the writer said that at some point it's revealed that "you are White Face". I didn't understand what they meant but maybe it's a clue.

You are playing as a White Face in second chapter, but it's only revealed after you kill HER.

But how did the game reveal that? I don't remember anything of the sort
