(15) The Path: Epilogue, Part 2

Second half of the Path epilogue. This occurs after the white-dress-wearing girl reaches Grandma. Following this, you can choose a girl just like when you start, and play through the whole game again if you were so inclined (but why would you be, seriously?).

-Hit puberty and wanted to be free.

-Wanted to play with animals but was hurt.

-Lost her virginity to someone she didn't love.

-Got a boyfriend who got her into drinking/cigarettes.

-Adventured with bisexuality.

-Wanted to be a pianst but was unable to because her parents forced her to study/work.

After going through all the events in her past, she could finally die happily ( the girl in white prayed for her at the end.) [which is why she looks so at peace at the end as well.]

I think they are all different ages of "grandma", representing life-changing choices she made in life when she chose to "stray from the path." Most of them turned out hurting her in some way and she regrets them but recognizes she's grown from them. Every girl dies at the end because a bit of her innocence died, and she's also close to dying herself. I think the girl in white represents her coming to terms with her decisions and finally being able to die comfortable with her decisions.

was it just me or was the girl in the white dress covered in blood???

@UltraViolencex Adding to this, I believe that when you simply go to grandmas house and stay on the path, it shows that she never faced these things that she encountered in her life, so they just went on the path and stuck with her till the end. But if you deviate, she explores ideas about the memory, faces her "Wolf" and kills the trauma.

@UltraViolencex I'm curious to who you think the events relate to and why you think she explored bisexuality and why you think she dies happily.

@UltraViolencex wait who wus what im lost

@SSXtrikE That is so gross and yet so poetically logical. This game isnt a game at all, Its an Interactive storytelling experience where its open to interpretation and discussion. It's a literature students worst nightmare and i would have loved to review it for my coursework at college. its a few years too late tho :S

[HewoGuy]

@UltraViolencex But she opens her eyes at the end. Your point is logical up until then. Grandma IS them, but i still don't get the ending. Where does the girl in white get the red stain on her shirt from, is she the angel of death, did she claim granny's life, and put her out of her possible misery? Or is it something bigger than that? Hmmmm. questions questions :3

to be honest.. im glad i never brought this :\

[SSXtrikE]

My point of view? The girl in white is Mother. Mother wants to protect her children. She doesn't want them hurt. So she leads her children back to the Path, where they're safe, secure. And at the end, when everyone is grown up, Mother gives birth, (hence the bloodied dress) to new children. Innocence is renewed, and the cycle repeats.

Remember the story of Little Red Riding Hood? When she meets the wolf, it goes to grandmother's house. It eats grandmother and disguises himself as her. Then it eats the little girl. After this the huntsman saves both and kills the wolf. I think that after you meet the wolf, the grandmother's house is dark because the wolf has eaten her and that's why the end of the scene there is the empty bed and the girl dies. I think the girl with the white dress is the huntman.

I think that girl in white dress killed the grandma. Seriously. Why would she have blood on her dress if she didn't? And besides, that grandma looks as if she was dead from the very beginning of the game! O_o
