(Spoiler) about the story

[Unicorn's Glory]

So, you mean to tell me that this man had fabricated another personality that had it's own take on reality set back in the 1800s? I understand he killed the sheriff, but how the hell did he know that there was a hidden room above his office (unless that room isn't real)


Very interesting game, definitely had a good twist, but I'd like to know who else fell victim to Nicholas/Adam.

I only have problems understanding the period, how is all this supposed to have happened in just a few days? In other words: in less than a week, adam and his wife renovate the house, he becomes sick with schizophrenic psychosis because he reads a few lines from an almost 200-year-old diary and can immediately identify his self with the character of the writer. Furthermore, in the renovation breaks, he came up with this whole absurd story, familiarizes himself with the area of a square kilometer (caves and huge forests), installed all the espionage gadgets here and there, murdered a few people all over the place, and hung some of them at a height of ten meters. And because that's not enough, he throws himself into a well a week later, crawls out with his own hands, then sits in the car and drives straight into the sea (not to the sea, because that would have been vacation!) and his wife is never to be found at home, unless she has something to complain about - where is she always at this moments when adam sneaks through the house? In the local supermarket and also by foot? Because the car is always parked in front of the house. Questions after questions.....

Beautifully well said.

Like what the hell made them move in the first place?

Was Adams wife aware of his mental instabilities?

Now we're left, at the end, to play into this mental mind game of whether or not Adam's reality existed or not. Like that isn't fair. I didn't really know the character to feel that level of gravity on the decisions asked to be made.

They need a DLC explaining these "breaking moments" where Adam commits to some of the heinous acts. Like who was he at that moment?????

Oddly enough, these inconsistencies didn't seem to have bothered any other player except both of us. Well, most of them just want to be entertained for a while and then move on to the next game title. I don't think we will ever find out what adam's health was like before what happened. A tiny detail caught my eye in a few rooms in the house - there were a couple of pill boxes here and there. It would also be possible that even Emma (wife) only existed in his imagination and also the corpses that paved his way ....
In principle, the game would also have worked, if adam and emma in 1979 had fallen victim to the scissors (cut out off the game at all) and the alternative plot around nicholas and his messed up childhood had been expanded much more. Maybe even better and with more action and creepy moments, please.

Hey yes hi it's me. I'm very confused with the story as well and I ALSO would like to know more about it. I have gathered everything in the game and while I sort of understand the lore, my smooth brain can't comprehend all of it. But a DLC or Beast Inside sequel with a 'canon' ending would be really dope!

Honestly this could've been a really good horror game set in the 1800s without the hallucination/mental illness plot twist, but the modern day cold war plot and the twist just don't work at all.
