Milton??? (If you haven't played the game, don't read what I wrote.)

[busedejuno]

Does anyone understand why Milton disappeared? The death of other characters in the game is more realistic. Milton's disappearance seemed absurd to me. Did they want to make it look like a supernatural disappearance? Did he really draw a door and walk through that door and disappear? Do you have theories?
(I'm sorry if I got my spelling wrong. I am not a native speaker.)

My theory is, that he maybe fell down (as his room was on a upper level) through his door somehow and he "dissapeared" because the mother of the kids covered it up from the family. And Edith never figures it out.

I know, not the best theory. But would still make more sens than a "supernatural" dissapearing. As literally nothing in the story seems to be supernatural in anyway.

Actually, the theory you're saying makes sense. The family thinks they're cursed, but they're all mentally ill. Milton may have confused the real world with the dream world.

Yeah. And as his older brother also had a mental desease, which contained a loss of reality, it would even make more sens. Closer in the bloodline, higher probability.

I disagree. I've seen the theory of mental illness and it's very cheap to try and explain everything that happens in the game under some vague, unexplained illness "Everyone was crazy. The End." There's signs of depression and delusion in some of the family members, but that's not enough to draw a conclusion.

And Milton: it's mentioned a couple of times that it's as if "the house swallowed him". You find his paintings in many of the secret passages you go through, which means that he used to crawl through them without his family knowing about it.

Seeing how many of those secret passages and secret rooms and doors seem to be practically forgotten by most, and very unsafe for a child, it's possible that he had an accident and ended dead somewhere in the passages of the house. Also remember that Dawn sealed all the rooms after Milton went missing.

He went to Lewis's spirit world and became a king to crowned him.

[kangirigungi]

My theory is that he ran away, then fell off a cliff or something. His drawing in his animation book shows him leaving through a door, which suggest that he left deliberately, and not simply had an accident in the house.

Guys play the "The unfinished swan" Its a game by the same devs that explains all your questions

Hello,bro have you seem a film named The Legend of 1900. In MY EYES Milton is still alive in this house. I have two clues to support my conclusion. First do you remember the sentence that there is something moving in the house which appears when you were finding a way to enter the house. Second, as a detailed game, there are some living flowers at the basement.It indicates someone feeds on the food left and waters the flowers regularly, it is Milton.He didn't die and he was too familiar with the structure of the building to be found from others.

Also Dawn, The mom makes it clear that it is a memorial not a tombstone reinforcing the idea that Milton is still alive

[alexander]

my best guess is that he ran away because of the abuse and neglect in the finch family, in almost all of the stories you can find some hints of neglect (wether intentional or unintentional), most obvious in gregorys, mollys and lewis' stories. a baby being left alone in a bathtub? a 10 year old being sent to bed without food + her room having a bunch of unhealthy stuff in it? untreated mental illness in a reptitive life? it seems like most of the family didnt really know how to take care of eachother, even barbaras story hints towards a suicide which would make sense considering she was used for her fame. milton already seems most detached from the whole family so that + the fact he spent most of his time diving into fictional worlds just leads me to believe he didnt really wanna be there.

If that's true, if Milton dissapeared when Edith was 4 and the basement uncle (don't remember the name) died when Edith was 6, they shared the basement for 2 years.
The only thing I don't feel fitting in that theory is Milton abandoning painting.

The developer already said that Milton was the King in Unfinished Swan.
And in that story at the end The King is dead. Therefore we can expect Milton end up with the same fate.

Other than that, let's view the other correlation between Finch House and Unfinished Swan:

The lazy giant in Unfinished Swan is clearly his brother Lewis.

The surrounding area and the place described by the King show a lot of similarity with Finch House. You can enter the house/castle from climbing the tree, the surrounding forest is quite gloomy, and the King last tower is in the middle of the sea, suspiciously like Edie's original sunken house.

Eventually my guess is Milton died of drowning in the sea, like how the king was trapped in the tower in the middle of the sea with the last level rushing against time with raising water.
