It was pretty good. Definitely one of the less scary games out of the scary games collection. The walking dolls made me so mad though. I thought the story was interesting and pretty good. The characters looked good too. I kinda wish that Aya didn't become like her father especially after she went through all the crap of running away from him but oh well. There was not as many jumpscares as I expected! The main thing I really would've liked was more background on all the experiments, especially the blond boy! He seemed so important, but he barely appears later and there's nothing about him whatsoever.

The game's ending is pretty fucked up. I'll agree on that one.

People think that the Aya in the vat at the end is the real Aya or that Aya is a good person running the clinic.

The Aya's were not switched. In the true ending, Ogre (the red eyed stranger, just like the book on Aya's shelf) brought Alfred (the father) back from the dead and into another dimension. that's why his hair and hands are purple. Ogre said "Maybe one day you can show this girl your homeland". That means that the Aya in the glass (who is quite curvaceous for an 11 y/o) has never been in the real world, meaning she was never the real Aya, and is a recreation made my Alfred to fulfill his desires.

And as for the theories about Aya actually being a good person at the end... oh i wish i was that naive... It may look that way, because Aya is helping Jean at the end and Maria said she is just like her father, so some people think that it means she got the part of her father that saved maria off the streets.

However, If you pay attention, Jean says that she was helped here by an old lady with a carriage. she hears hooves in the back of the house. then when it pans over to Maria, you can clearly see she has aged (to the point of being called an old lady...). you can also see a door behind her, (from the back, where the hooves were), the red anatomy book her father had, a small collection of dolls... and, to seal the deal, a ladder to a basement to Maria's right.

Maria tells people that there is a nearby clinic that gives free treatments, takes them there, and then Aya gets to turn them into dolls

Which ending are you talking about? I saw the one with when you save farther. Knew he was crazy, still saved the retard.

I thought it was really good, but yeah, the ending was unsettling. I saw the ending after collecting all the gems, and it just made things more confusing. I can't really explain why Aya would end up like her father as well - I mean, I know about the dead animals in the room and how she played with chainsaws, but it just doesn't correlate with the Aya we play as. If she was a silent protagonist like Ib it would make more sense, because we don't get to hear her thoughts and feelings throughout the game, but if she was psychotic like her father I feel like there would have been hints in her behavior as well, and there just wasn't. The only thing I can think of was how she didn't seem to bat an eye when she had to slit the dog's stomach open, but aside from that, she behaved and reacted like a regular human being at all the other atrocities she had to witness throughout the game.

Maybe she wasn't a full-blown psycho and all the events that transpired made her snap or something, I don't know. I liked the ending and thought it was fitting, I just feel like it's missing something. Maybe something that had to do with the extra ending and Ogre, since I still have absolutely no clue what that was about, or who Ogre is and what role he played in all of this.

I thought the characters were great, i really liked the maid by the end of the "good" end. But damn, dat ending.... so depressing. No matter how hard I try to think of ways that it isnt really Aya, there is just too much evidence saying otherwise =/

same here it was all because of pewd's ... I just finished the game just now, like .... 30 minutes ago, the ending was kinda expected to me, the moment I saw that book I was ooooooh Fuck, here we go again .... even though I collected all 21 gems the ending havent changed for me, so I feel it was such a boomer, even though it was fun collecting them.

I am kinda sad about the ending ... really sad I wanted a happy ending for that stroy but meh its "the Witch house" all over again ... if anyone found anything on how to change the "what supposed to be" true ending please let us know I dont want that ending for Aya >_<
