spoiler alert I cant figure out the story

I can't figure out the story specifics.All i know is that the dad dies

Yup, and this makes Joseph reflect about his life in his dream. So, well, the actual story is his life (and the one of his wife in parts).

Yes, as it was already said. A reflection of Joseph's life, and a journey about life and death symbolized by the vixen on her way to the Last Tree (following the death trail).

But the final clou is the message Joseph's dad left on the Last Tree (which is in fact a random message from another player typed in in chapter 5 - a nice idea if you aks me). And Rachel told Joseph he would see his dad once again for a last farwell - she was right in one way or antoher..

If you - like me - lost someone precious in your life already, you will aboslutely understand that such a last message can be a true gift. Like a letter from beyond the living to you to guide you on the road to the Last Tree (the road Joseph is afraid of, as stated in chapter 5).

This is how I understood it. But I think there is more than one correct truth since David left a lot open for you own imagination.

EDIT: And if you want to read one of the messages you got again on PC version, just open C:\Users\%username%\Pictures

My game crashed during the last loading screen after I typed my message, so I guess I never got an ending message, sad.

Story in a nutshell : Dude has a dream, cries to his incestuous sister about it, then gets up at the middle of the night to go get lost in the wilderness in a fit of suicidal depression and probably starves or freezes to death
