The field of flowers scene seemed sadly beautiful, an obvious tomboy and her scenes having what I think are some lesbian tones, her playing with the other girl having someone to love and support her. Her wakening afterwards seemed to be more a walk of despair, to know she doesn't have that joy. Grandma's house seems more like a prison, red being the colour of passion and the black threads forcing her to bind her true nature. The feathers a beacon of hope while the wire holds her back.
@Joudas did you get to the playground? because I didn't and went down the other tiny door, i completely avoided the seesaws and now it's gonna bother me why your ending is different
glimpses of other people just like her "note matresses as other selves, in her room", she then tight ropes walks down a hallway balancing across across metals poles while the black wire tries to bar her way, eventually she ends up in the room where all the people just like her surround her while the feathers of the people that alienated her before fall down like nothing, but the barbed wire remains, a signal that not everyone will accept her, people will try to trip her, but she accepts herself
also her shrinking in this room is probably also her feeling small and helpless against her fate, or feeling the weight of the world, the toy dino is just a typical boy thing to play with, as is the seesaw, which she walks over and forgets behind her as the wallpaper spazzes out more and more probably as she stresses more and more trying to keep up with the world, then the black wires comes back stronger as she cant keep up, she gets glimpses of her future through the wire , piles of mattreses
coming and going every month throughout her life, the two beds in her room signify her two selves, the white bed is the innocent tomboy and the red bed is dissillusioned girl, noticed underneath the white bed is a dead crow which is probably where the feeathers in her hair came from, her first attempt to fit in, borrowing feathers from her "normal" friends, and the "fake man" the scarecrow, put away underneath the red bed with the red boys, her being a boy is now forgotten underneath her cycle
and the her grandmothers house probably starts out with her realization that shell never be a boy, she will grow up to be a woman and her realizing that this is "bad" and so she walks down a dark rainy path in sadness, slowly walking towards her end goal of death, the grandmother, then popular media (the tv) sprouts black wires that trap and entangle her in what soceity expects of her throughout the journey through her house, the red rocking chair appearing and isapearing is obviously her cycle.
plus her talking about faking crop circles, just fits in with the faking being a boy to hide her probably being lesbian, but it doesnt work out so well because well, shes isnt a boy, shes a girl that likes girls
...away the "crows" or other people around her, alienating her and a reminder that she cant really be free like birds, she cant be a bird like the others because shes different from them
i think the scarecrow fits in with with ginger because scarecrows are essentially "fake men" used to scare away crows, tricking the crows into thinking "oh shit guys, not this field, theres a guy here" and with ginger being a tomboy, but really a girl, being close with another really feminine girl, but having the threat of her menstruation at the same time and so wanting to be male, but cant, so instead the "fake man" represents her "maleness" but at the same time, her acting male would scare...
did anybody notice how all of the strings appeared to be coming from the tv at the beginning(6:09).I think a good portion of this is from popular culture, as seen by all of the trapping strings coming from the tv.This partially proves my point on that she is a lesbian because they are portrayed on tv in a negative way
eh, I think she wanted to be a boy, or was a lesbian and because of normal society's views on it she kinda died on the inside by just being her.The whole boy thing come from a bit of a metaphor on her wolf.A giggly girl in a red dress that telaports and turns into butterflies, the gigglyness and the butterflies suggest that ginger would rather have a relationship with her, a more feminine person.The telaporty stuff and red dress implies it's her menstration, thus her "growing up".
I still think this whole thing is about lesbianism. I can (as a lesbian) relate to Ginger even at that young of an age...feeling 'trapped' by expectations placed on you to be 'normal' and heterosexual...but at the same time, knowing that you are different and really like girls...really wanting to play with girls and feel close to them...as that's where the emotional attachment lies.
@jlb141 In addition to that, I see 'two separate beds' placed next to each other but never touching...I think that plays on the idea that it's okay for two women share a room but not a bed...so they need two separate beds so no 'funny business' happens. Two women can be friends but not lovers and share the same single bed.
I love this game and I respect the seriousness of it and all, but when she tries to help the girl up and the girl pulls her down, the fall is fucking hilarious.
The creator mention that the bedroom scene, she originally wanted it to look like she was running from something, but didn't. (My view) The barbed wire, symbolizes that she's painfully trapped. The falling feathers, respresent a loss of freedom and the mattress symbolize the discovery. I think that the wolf is puberty, most likely the menstral cycle. Its red, appears and disappears, its painful but like a friend because its shows your body is working.
I'm not sure if Ginger is a lesbian I think she just hates being a girl, to me she rejects everything female, she dresses up tomboyish, she owns boyish toys in what you see in her room (dinosaurs, soliders), she plays rough too. Now in my view, if you go through your life hating the feminine world (and your a girl), you'll loathe the time you get puberty, the time your forced to accept your becoming a woman. She now has to accept that'll she's forever trapped in the female body.
@Blazenix1 You basically try to argue that she's transsexual. Lesbians are usually (that's proven by studies) tomboys as children too, and there are far more lesbians than transsexuals...
And I don't think it's coincidence that only wolf who's female is hers. Yes, it is puberty, menstruation, but also awakening 'new' feelings - that last scene with red girl is quite suggestive.
@Neisza Well it just seems to me if she was a lesbian, there be a tad bit more symbolism towards that. But thats only my opinion. I can see how people will see she's a lesbian, I can see how people will feel that her wolf being female suggest, but I don't think its that simple. This isn't a game where one person is right it's how the viewer sees it. You're not wrong and neither am I. We just have different views.
@Neisza Perhaps it is too simple to put all down to puberty, but there is a bit of symbolism that certainly leds to me thinking that. Ginger has more red in the last room than any other of the sisters, I've noticed plus I've noticed the hair from 7:26 to 8:01. That also leads me to think puberty is part of her trouble (since all of the girls had a trouble or worry). Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to shove my opinion on you but I'm explaining why I feel that.
@Blazenix1 But I agree that it is among the others about puberty. After all she was jealous that her younger sister was bigger than she is. But when puberty starts, then people also start having sexual and romantic feelings, and IMO that one of motives here.
I think that she became friends with the girl in red, but the girl in red ended up hurting her. Girls that age become pretty mean compared to when they were children =P
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Everyone is retarded. Shit, flowers obviously mean murder is manifesting in the forest of innocence. Black girl with a white dress is complete gangsta bitch who be bustin caps on the path. MURDER AND DEATH is all over because nobody has a real imagination anymore. Dipshits.
I think the liesben idea is good but barb wire is the key here. Barb wire is use for many hurtful and deadly things, some times even murder, so she could have had a boyfriend who learned about this liesben action and got mad (went mad)and murdered her.
The theory we are on is not history or stories of each girl, but the problems or bad things they have done in their life. Not even bad things but bad things that have happened to them. Like above, maybe barbed wire means constriction since it is on fences to threaten people, and she had trouble meeting other's expectations because of what she wanted.
This game has too many different views on it. Haha, overall I guess we won't know what each girl exactly EXACTly went through. I originally thought this was about growing up. Ginger is 13 (correct me if I'm wrong), so entering the adult world is pretty inescapable. Menstruating sucks, and can't really be avoided. So she's gotta go through the trapped pain at some point. Sorry Ginger, we can't like in childhood forever.
I definitely think that this girl didn't die. JUST her innocence. really if you think about it, all of these endings have a veiw. robin eaten by wolves, you know she died,cause no little girl that wants to play with wolves will live, rose drowning, she carries the weight of the world on her shoulders, ginger lesbian, alive and afraid, ruby murdered by crazy guy in the woods dragging a body... thats actually all i've got so far, i havent seen em all yet... but it IS a scenario. :P
I'm with most of the highest rated comments and its also a bit like on of the other girls.She could have been a lesbian and the string barbed wire is like felling tangled up inside.the whole ending/death thing could be the sudden realization that the general community and her "friend " finding out about this and having a bad reaction :Rejection. everybody gets sad when they are targeted for being something that's outside the crowd's interest since the crowd would point it out.My 2 cents.
I remeber reading the devolpment blog, where they wrote some info about the wolves and sisters ,about the girl in red wolf. It had said that even though Ginger has never met her, her oooolddder sisters had a long time ago. And they really get annoyed when her presence is around, soooo, I really believe that this chicka represents the one thing all girls cant stand once a month. DX
@LMLLO i've heard that interpretation a lot, w/ the 'red' dress, one of the beds' sheets being red -like the old tradition of having to prove you were a virgin by presenting your sheet (yeah glad that's not expected nowadays >.< ) full moon (could be symbol for the wolf and also the 'monthly visitor'), and the theme of changes/growing up (bleh not everything about growing up is fun heh)
Also I'd heard somewhere that Ginger and Rose i think were going to be twins but then they didn't do that.
i absolutely love the surrealism depicted in this game, and how each girl has their own little story. Its deep and surprising. Ginger's story is somewhat sad, albeit confusing.
I like the "fake friend" theory here, this could just represent her entering the age where girls begin inflicting cruelty and betrayal on one another under the guise of, or intermingled with, friendship.
The crop circle thing is totally irrelevant to this and the lesbian theory so maybe the theory that she just ran around and hit barbed wire has merit, even if it is lol-inducing.
The bedroom, one bed is white the other is red the white one is clean, the red one has blood she may have gotten her first period while she was sleeping.
the hall that shows her death room, idk :(
the barbed wire may represent pain and cramps like Ookani said.
Her wolf represents how boys play, they rough and tough, her wolf beats her up when they where playing as friends.
Ginger's story is about girls getting their periods (sorry if i offended any males xD)
This is probably wrong. Since the girl dressed in red looks just like the girl dressed in white I think it shows a fake friend.
The girl in white is trying to help them find their path. Ginger meets the girl in red and gets hurt in the end. A friend backstabbing. Someone said the girls could also be the same person going through different troubles in life. At the end (with Scarlet) they 'grow up' and miss their childhood dreams.
Or it could mean something else. I don't know. <_<
@ThePumpkinOwl That makes sense. A fake friend who ended up hurting her. Not actually killing her but just hurt her feelings. I think if you put all the girls together they make one person. The youngest finds out about the dangers in life. The oldest has her dreams crushed. In between they all go through troubles growing up. I read somewhere that it was about growing up and losing innocence.
We all meet a few wolves if we don't stay on the path.
@pirateinneverland And something else I just noticed....the girl in white is probably part of them also. Their good side maybe. You know how we have those feelings when something is wrong? A little voice in our head is telling us to run away? But when we're curious sometimes we get ourselves into danger. Curiosity killed the cat. Everything symbolizes something in this game. Or maybe I'm wrong. I don't know...okay I'm going to stop commenting. xD
@ThePumpkinOwl Ah, but that's the joy of this game; there is no real right or wrong answer, its a thinker. It forces you to think, to evaluate and to look into yourself and believe what you believe to be true perhaps taking from your own real life experiences in the process.
I'm not sure- I think it's her getting her first period. As a child she's been able to treat herself and regard herself as a boy- but getting her period is forcing her to become a woman, and she might not want to accept that- perhaps because she feels bi-curious as others have theorized. I'm thinking of the bed motifs- the mattresses stained with blood. There's barbed wire, which could represent drawing blood and the pain of cramps.
@Ookani It would help if we could see the flashing images more clearly. First of Ginger's lower body drawn inward, and the other of the barbed wire cutting through her elongated neck separating the young mind from the growing body. Man I love this game for actually making me analyze it!
This one seems pretty straight-forward to me: she wanted to make crop circles by running around. Unfortunately, she ran right into a fence of barbed wire. All the hair strung about the house seems symbolic of the wire.
Whether the girl was just a friend (and found Ginger injured or dead) or knew about it... well. Another point of contest.
I think it's normal. For the most of these girls, they are dead, so the are sad, natural, no? They didn't respected the law, so they are punished. They're sad when they come back to the Path.
Pause at 8:17 and the throat-barbwire thing is quite obvious. And i kinda get the feeling that the girl in red, accidently or purposely, pushed her so she fell over some barbwire O__o
My View:Ginger is the tomboy of the group. I would think most people would not assume tom boys would just go up and hug some girl as she did in the field.
That combined with all the barbed wire-symbolising being restrained in the confines of 'normal' society and, as one would tell you, being very "painful" having to keep it secret-leads me to believe she is a lesbian.
And w/ the theme of all the "deaths" being growing, well, what's more painful and innocence-killing than not being who you are?
I agree-- most people seem to think that all of the endings to The Path involve the girls being raped and murdered, but the game's tagline reads "a game about growing up". Each girl encounters a harsh reality when they meet their wolf, and I agree with you in thinking that Ginger's wolf is her realizing that she's not going to fit into the world as her sisters will. With all of the black thread and wire in the house, its seems she feels tangled and trapped.
@TamaraHarrisonVideos Actually I feel that she shows a desire to cling to childhood and freedom, and when she runs into a twisted red version of this white clad pure girl that leads the girls to the path, I feel it has more to do with hitting puberty and becoming a young woman. She IS 13 after all
@TamaraHarrisonVideos The games sub-title is " -------- a short horror game" It is what it is. I think people are over-analyzing it's significance when they imply that the girls were not murdered and they were just going through a rough patch in their lives. I mean c'mon the one guy in black was dragging a fucking dead body wrapped in carpet! How plain can the outcome be?
@dafullclip It's psychological horror. If you take what's on the screen literally, you have a kid walking over to the grandma's house and something bad happens. I'm tired of tpying this over and over. Of course there is such thing as over analyzing something.
@LilDruid I think you're dead on. Notice that the girl in red doesn't try to lead her back to the path, which is probably symbolic of society not accepting and creating a "path" for her to follow.
@wertyty12 actaully none of them get raped its a art game its all about inturpatation actaully all of this is to simbolise them going into diffrent satges of woman hood and the deathof there old self, if u read tha web site it sorta tells you this.
All the barbed wire and wired fences indicate that she isn't allowed to get into the world, get open and interact with it. She is trapped into the wiring when she does (she gets friends and steps into the world). Those friends (the world) backstabs her and there she goes.
and about the scene going under the bed shows the scarecrow with figures with a bat or some type of weapon surrounding the scarecrow?
the scarecrow was in the beginning of the video where they are playing around in???
The pictures shown at last for about a second represent something too.
The pic that shows the other girl with eyelids half shut showing something resembling like squigly lines going upward could be her idea, maybe something about barb wire? Gingers head is severed from barbed wire.
all these girls are one person and the "grandma" is the one remembering all of her life, the girls represent the stages of her life when they "die" she was another person not the same as before for example this was about Ginger going through puberty and the Carmen ending was her losing her virginity. Its just her in different stages in life.
It happens with all of them, black and white, then they get to grandmas room and it ends. I think its supposed to signify that they are dead when it does that, like they're nothing but shuffeling lost souls.
I kind of feel like Ginger's death was more of an accident than the others. She may have followed her "friend" into a dangerous situation where she suffered the consequences
Why does every girl have to end up dead? You think maybe the surreal, dream-like imagery of the grandma's house is meant to imply that it's, you know, a dream? You think maybe it's possible to have symbols of death without literally meaning that Ginger bit the dust (death of innocence is a common theme throughout all the girls endings)?
yeah, that could be.... lol someone else told me that scarlet didn't get her fingers chopped off but it was her arms hung on strings, since she's unable to pursue her dream to have a career in music, and having to take care of her sisters instead (=_=).. soo ya, there's a very big chance that these "deaths" and imagery are all symbolic to something more surreal than that of their ultimate demise (^_^)..
i think, along with the 'deaths', you can see each of the girls stories as growing up in a stage of life.
the girl in the red dress could represent her period, and the sudden 'surprise' (red girl covering ginger's eyes) of the changes in her body. she is 13, after all.
je crois moi aussi. Pour moi, ginger est peut être la seule qui soit réellement morte.
je crois qu'il s'agit d'une trahison, Ginger est un petit Tom Sawyer, garcon manqué. La fille en rouge est peut etre la première amie en qui elle ose faire confiance et nouer une amitié.
Mais je comprend pas, qu'elle interdit à telle transgresser ? Car c'est bien de ça que l'on parle. Ce n'est pas la drogue ou le sexe.... à moins qu'elle ne soit lesbienne, mais je crois pas.
I think Ginger was lonely on all of her "adventures". So when she meet a girl who is simaler to her she can't help but start playing with her with out thinking. The girl then killed (Strangled or tied her up to decapitate her, you decide) her with barbed wire. I think the feathers are the ones on her head and she is seeing them fall off as she dies.
@perkidanman same for me, maybe we missed an item or something when Ginger was wandering around. but i was literally all over the map for her character and had a hard time finding her stuff.
oh im playing the game now and I cant find the damned scarecrow... and by the way is it possible to find the way back to the path after the graveyard ?
Confronting the wolf probably mean confronting your problems in life if you run away from your problems, you loose, i'm not so sure about them dying though.
Is that really her? Because the girl in white appears throughout the game (and the epilogue) as a guide back to the path. This one also seems to have a slightly different hair style...though I wouldn't be surprised if there was some connection...I'm still trying to figure all this out, lol. Talk about mind melt.
Because either the game, Fraps, or some combination of the two refuse to cooperate together. It took 6 tries to get it to sound this *good* - you don't even want to consider what the first 5 sounded like.
i have nothing to add to your theories XD it all seems right. playing things safe nevergets you any pleasure...like in the game playing it safe is only a straight road to your death. but if you have fun with your life, go outside the boundaries you would have made something of it until the point where you die
soooo...based on shawnshawnshawnshawn's theory and my interpretation, im guessing the ending is saying becareful who you befriend? cuz she walks off the road and finds this friend (birds of a feather flocks together?), she goes into the house with black threads all over (perhaps a symbol of manipulation & control by "friends"), & there was a picture of her friend behind a barbed wire (perhaps a reference to how parents tells their kid to stay away from certain people?)
you stray off the path into the dark woods..a place that is unsafe and uncertain, but not everything found there is bad....in some sections it actually seems like good memories are gained..in the end its all a catch 22..you die either way its just how do you choose to live ...thats my take on what the game is trying to convey..life is good... bad ..scary and amazing all at once
its all up to the player to decided what this all about i guess, but my take on it is you "lose" by taking the path straight to grandmas because its symbolizes the journey to death...you start in a sunny happy place ( childhood) and as you walk it becomes bleak ..grandma is old..you got beds ( death beds) hence grandmas house = end of your life...you played it safe but die anyway you failed at "living" ...in that way i feel the game is exploring the beauty and sadness that life is
i dont understand this game: if you follow the quest (go to the house and stay on the path) you loose, but if you make something different you die at the end but still win?! no sense!
i'm pretty sure the bedroom scene has a big role in her story, as far as i can tell she always felt invisible or small, hence you see it out of the eyes of say a mouse :]
LOL when I saw yours I like kinda freaked I was like "OMG ALISON"
XDDD I totally agree with you there, not coz your my cousin.
but what's really confusing is that the girl in white is her wolf, but she's in red, but yet again. and she does the same thing the girl in white does, but what you told me about a day ago, the white stuff means the girl in white and the black stuff means her wolf, and her wolf was right in front of the black stuff on the top of the screen, while the white was way off
The girl in red kind of sneaked up on me when I played as Ginger, I had the details on low, so she was completely invisible to me for a time, the next second I'm playing with her, then she's behind me covering my eyes :/ I didn't intend to either, I was still exploring, lol.
I think this is probably the best bet, and Ginger is the only one I've gotten a pretty good vibe from thus far. Judging by the pictures (which were disturbing), she was killed by barb wire.
She obviously died very young because all of her memories throughout the house allude to it.
Also, Burning, the end of the house signifies the end of the characters life, and hers is of-... Er, I don't really know, put it gives me an abandoned ballfield kind of feel.
i think it was metaphor for her being a lesbian ya dig she liked a another girl and felt that she would never have the freedom to say she was a lesbian for some reason
~The girl in red seems to be the same person as the girl in white - so she's not a 'bad' character from what I can tell (the sunshine seems to back this up) so the red dress probably doesn't mean blood -it might represent love
~hiding under the bed suggests a secret, the red bed meaning love = secret love?
~the barbed wire could show her feelings of restriction, like she can't tell anyone her secret
It all fits with her description of her character, too
The field of flowers scene seemed sadly beautiful, an obvious tomboy and her scenes having what I think are some lesbian tones, her playing with the other girl having someone to love and support her. Her wakening afterwards seemed to be more a walk of despair, to know she doesn't have that joy. Grandma's house seems more like a prison, red being the colour of passion and the black threads forcing her to bind her true nature. The feathers a beacon of hope while the wire holds her back.

@Neisza Well it just seems to me if she was a lesbian, there be a tad bit more symbolism towards that. But thats only my opinion. I can see how people will see she's a lesbian, I can see how people will feel that her wolf being female suggest, but I don't think its that simple. This isn't a game where one person is right it's how the viewer sees it. You're not wrong and neither am I. We just have different views.
Blazenix1 8 months ago
@Blazenix1 Indeed, but reducing it to puberty is oversimplification IMO. Each story is about growing up.
Neisza 8 months ago
@Neisza Perhaps it is too simple to put all down to puberty, but there is a bit of symbolism that certainly leds to me thinking that. Ginger has more red in the last room than any other of the sisters, I've noticed plus I've noticed the hair from 7:26 to 8:01. That also leads me to think puberty is part of her trouble (since all of the girls had a trouble or worry). Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to shove my opinion on you but I'm explaining why I feel that.
Blazenix1 8 months ago
@Blazenix1 But I agree that it is among the others about puberty. After all she was jealous that her younger sister was bigger than she is. But when puberty starts, then people also start having sexual and romantic feelings, and IMO that one of motives here.

Oh, and I just realized that would explain why there's a girl in red and a girl in white.. because she's two-faced like most 13 year olds

@TheInfiniteGlitch
The theory we are on is not history or stories of each girl, but the problems or bad things they have done in their life. Not even bad things but bad things that have happened to them. Like above, maybe barbed wire means constriction since it is on fences to threaten people, and she had trouble meeting other's expectations because of what she wanted.
EpicnessInABox 10 months ago
This game has too many different views on it. Haha, overall I guess we won't know what each girl exactly EXACTly went through. I originally thought this was about growing up. Ginger is 13 (correct me if I'm wrong), so entering the adult world is pretty inescapable. Menstruating sucks, and can't really be avoided. So she's gotta go through the trapped pain at some point. Sorry Ginger, we can't like in childhood forever.

I definitely think that this girl didn't die. JUST her innocence. really if you think about it, all of these endings have a veiw. robin eaten by wolves, you know she died,cause no little girl that wants to play with wolves will live, rose drowning, she carries the weight of the world on her shoulders, ginger lesbian, alive and afraid, ruby murdered by crazy guy in the woods dragging a body... thats actually all i've got so far, i havent seen em all yet... but it IS a scenario. :P

I'm with most of the highest rated comments and its also a bit like on of the other girls.She could have been a lesbian and the string barbed wire is like felling tangled up inside.the whole ending/death thing could be the sudden realization that the general community and her "friend " finding out about this and having a bad reaction :Rejection. everybody gets sad when they are targeted for being something that's outside the crowd's interest since the crowd would point it out.My 2 cents.

It had said that even though Ginger has never met her, her oooolddder sisters had a long time ago. And they really get annoyed when her presence is around, soooo, I really believe that this chicka represents the one thing all girls cant stand once a month. DX

@LMLLO i've heard that interpretation a lot, w/ the 'red' dress, one of the beds' sheets being red -like the old tradition of having to prove you were a virgin by presenting your sheet (yeah glad that's not expected nowadays >.< ) full moon (could be symbol for the wolf and also the 'monthly visitor'), and the theme of changes/growing up (bleh not everything about growing up is fun heh)
Also I'd heard somewhere that Ginger and Rose i think were going to be twins but then they didn't do that.

I like the "fake friend" theory here, this could just represent her entering the age where girls begin inflicting cruelty and betrayal on one another under the guise of, or intermingled with, friendship.
The crop circle thing is totally irrelevant to this and the lesbian theory so maybe the theory that she just ran around and hit barbed wire has merit, even if it is lol-inducing.

My thoery of Ginger...
The bedroom, one bed is white the other is red the white one is clean, the red one has blood she may have gotten her first period while she was sleeping.
the hall that shows her death room, idk :(
the barbed wire may represent pain and cramps like Ookani said.
Her wolf represents how boys play, they rough and tough, her wolf beats her up when they where playing as friends.
Ginger's story is about girls getting their periods (sorry if i offended any males xD)
sailordarkmoon999 1 year ago
This is probably wrong. Since the girl dressed in red looks just like the girl dressed in white I think it shows a fake friend.
The girl in white is trying to help them find their path. Ginger meets the girl in red and gets hurt in the end. A friend backstabbing. Someone said the girls could also be the same person going through different troubles in life. At the end (with Scarlet) they 'grow up' and miss their childhood dreams.
Or it could mean something else. I don't know. <_<
ThePumpkinOwl 1 year ago 16
@ThePumpkinOwl That makes sense. A fake friend who ended up hurting her. Not actually killing her but just hurt her feelings. I think if you put all the girls together they make one person. The youngest finds out about the dangers in life. The oldest has her dreams crushed. In between they all go through troubles growing up. I read somewhere that it was about growing up and losing innocence.
We all meet a few wolves if we don't stay on the path.
pirateinneverland 1 year ago
@pirateinneverland And something else I just noticed....the girl in white is probably part of them also. Their good side maybe. You know how we have those feelings when something is wrong? A little voice in our head is telling us to run away? But when we're curious sometimes we get ourselves into danger. Curiosity killed the cat. Everything symbolizes something in this game. Or maybe I'm wrong. I don't know...okay I'm going to stop commenting. xD

EnchantedMagickLove 1 year ago
I'm not sure- I think it's her getting her first period. As a child she's been able to treat herself and regard herself as a boy- but getting her period is forcing her to become a woman, and she might not want to accept that- perhaps because she feels bi-curious as others have theorized. I'm thinking of the bed motifs- the mattresses stained with blood. There's barbed wire, which could represent drawing blood and the pain of cramps.
Ookani 1 year ago 22
@Ookani It would help if we could see the flashing images more clearly. First of Ginger's lower body drawn inward, and the other of the barbed wire cutting through her elongated neck separating the young mind from the growing body. Man I love this game for actually making me analyze it!

This one seems pretty straight-forward to me: she wanted to make crop circles by running around. Unfortunately, she ran right into a fence of barbed wire. All the hair strung about the house seems symbolic of the wire.
Whether the girl was just a friend (and found Ginger injured or dead) or knew about it... well. Another point of contest.

My View:Ginger is the tomboy of the group. I would think most people would not assume tom boys would just go up and hug some girl as she did in the field.
That combined with all the barbed wire-symbolising being restrained in the confines of 'normal' society and, as one would tell you, being very "painful" having to keep it secret-leads me to believe she is a lesbian.
And w/ the theme of all the "deaths" being growing, well, what's more painful and innocence-killing than not being who you are?

indigo1384 2 years ago
I agree-- most people seem to think that all of the endings to The Path involve the girls being raped and murdered, but the game's tagline reads "a game about growing up". Each girl encounters a harsh reality when they meet their wolf, and I agree with you in thinking that Ginger's wolf is her realizing that she's not going to fit into the world as her sisters will. With all of the black thread and wire in the house, its seems she feels tangled and trapped.
TamaraHarrisonVideos 2 years ago 36
@TamaraHarrisonVideos Actually I feel that she shows a desire to cling to childhood and freedom, and when she runs into a twisted red version of this white clad pure girl that leads the girls to the path, I feel it has more to do with hitting puberty and becoming a young woman. She IS 13 after all

All the barbed wire and wired fences indicate that she isn't allowed to get into the world, get open and interact with it. She is trapped into the wiring when she does (she gets friends and steps into the world). Those friends (the world) backstabs her and there she goes.

all these girls are one person and the "grandma" is the one remembering all of her life, the girls represent the stages of her life when they "die" she was another person not the same as before for example this was about Ginger going through puberty and the Carmen ending was her losing her virginity. Its just her in different stages in life.

Why does every girl have to end up dead? You think maybe the surreal, dream-like imagery of the grandma's house is meant to imply that it's, you know, a dream? You think maybe it's possible to have symbols of death without literally meaning that Ginger bit the dust (death of innocence is a common theme throughout all the girls endings)?
LetsPlayMaldeus 2 years ago 3
yeah, that could be.... lol someone else told me that scarlet didn't get her fingers chopped off but it was her arms hung on strings, since she's unable to pursue her dream to have a career in music, and having to take care of her sisters instead (=_=).. soo ya, there's a very big chance that these "deaths" and imagery are all symbolic to something more surreal than that of their ultimate demise (^_^)..
secondhandsmoke10 2 years ago 5
i think, along with the 'deaths', you can see each of the girls stories as growing up in a stage of life.
the girl in the red dress could represent her period, and the sudden 'surprise' (red girl covering ginger's eyes) of the changes in her body. she is 13, after all.

Perhaps the pumpkin represents Ginger?
(Ginger= red/orange hair?)
The feathers at the end may be from the scarecrows point of view, surrounded by birds, not fulfilling it's duty in life?

When Ginger was going through the house and she was going under the 2 beds there was a scare crow and 3 army people aimed at it?

They all eventually ganged up on her or backstabbed her and that was her downfall.

TheForsaken6 2 years ago
soooo...based on shawnshawnshawnshawn's theory and my interpretation, im guessing the ending is saying becareful who you befriend? cuz she walks off the road and finds this friend (birds of a feather flocks together?), she goes into the house with black threads all over (perhaps a symbol of manipulation & control by "friends"), & there was a picture of her friend behind a barbed wire (perhaps a reference to how parents tells their kid to stay away from certain people?)

its all up to the player to decided what this all about i guess, but my take on it is you "lose" by taking the path straight to grandmas because its symbolizes the journey to death...you start in a sunny happy place ( childhood) and as you walk it becomes bleak ..grandma is old..you got beds ( death beds) hence grandmas house = end of your life...you played it safe but die anyway you failed at "living" ...in that way i feel the game is exploring the beauty and sadness that life is

Also, Burning, the end of the house signifies the end of the characters life, and hers is of-... Er, I don't really know, put it gives me an abandoned ballfield kind of feel.

Hey, it all makes sense now:
~The girl in red seems to be the same person as the girl in white - so she's not a 'bad' character from what I can tell (the sunshine seems to back this up) so the red dress probably doesn't mean blood -it might represent love
~hiding under the bed suggests a secret, the red bed meaning love = secret love?
~the barbed wire could show her feelings of restriction, like she can't tell anyone her secret
It all fits with her description of her character, too
