(13) The Path: Scarlet Ending (Success)

Scarlet's 'success' ending in The Path. This occurs if you head off the path and encounter the 'wolf'.

These videos were all taken after collecting all 34 items; I'm assuming it's a bug that they say '0/3' at the end for items collected / rooms unlocked (in fact each character has between 7 and 12 items to find, so even the number '3' as the supposed total is weird) so I think this is the 'full' cinematic, but even if it's not, I really have no intention of replaying this game to get a 'better' (worse?) ending.

I think that Scarlet's wolf was never being able to accomplish her goals. She never becomes a famous musician ( instruments flying away), learns about the things she was curious in (all the books) or finishes collections (empty jars for bugs and what not. Once she finds a partner she is satisfied in (man in black coat) he turns out to be a manipulator (puppet strings). Scarlet's dreams never come true.

I personally believe that Scarlet's ending is the most depressing, because of the emptiness of the house. The emptiness represents her life being devoid of meaning without music, which she may have had to give up in order to care for her family, or she may have been rejected by the industry or told that she was no good. Or, as many say, she may have made beautiful music that no one understood or appreciated, even though she worked very hard, hence the images of pain and injury.

I do think the white sheets and empty rooms allude to her feeling like a blank slate that has to start anew.

This girl's self-esteem relied on her confidence as an artist. When she was young, she trusted that she was, in fact, talented and creative. She was ready to perform, but also super-sensitive to critique, so much so that a single person's opinion could make her give up on the spot. The trouble with failure is it means admitting something about you wasn't true, and if it's something you've based your whole personality on, it can be devastating.

I think Scarlet is scared she can lose something very important to her like talent. Her wolf cuts off her fingers . Fingers are something important for pianist. She is tidy but in grandmother's house there is a mess. That can mean she's scared she can fail or lose something which may affect the rest of her life...or something like that. Sorry for mistakes my english is not perfect.

when i first saw it my first thought was that the teacher cut scarlets eyes off so she cant see anymore

@dafullclip Yeah, man. It's psychological horror. You're not supposed to take what's on the screen literally, but figuratively. If you take the game literally like the assholes over at the IGN forums, you have a kid walking to her Grandma's house and somehting bad happens, boo-hoo.

I agree on Scarlet's wolf being that she couldn't accomplish her goals(but I feel like posting what I analyzed from her ending). All the furniture either being covered up or missing- she could never really settle into something to complete it, or she never set it into motion. The green lighting/lack of creepy music-she was lost and could never really find her way, feeling a lack of meaning in life. The books- shes seaching for knowledge on her meaning. The instruments/love of arts- her escape
