Schoolbook Theory: SPOILER


The Pink Pwner

Recommended Posts

At about my third playthrough it dawned on me that the books the shades where dropping were meant to signify the age of the humans they represented.

 

For example:

The little ones had coloring books, so they were small children.

The not as small ones had school books, so they were slightly older children.

The larger ones had technical books, so they were young adults.

I think there was one more book version, but I can't remember it.

 

 

I think it was meant to add the the heartbreak of the fact that you were killing children.

 

Does anyone else agree with this theory??

That makes a lot of sense...and it pretty much prove throughout the second and third playthroughs. This game certainly made me feel terrible with that, but the director has a habit of making games that make everything feel pointless, hopeless, and depressing. This is the same guy who made Drakengard after all. The last book, for full adults, was the closed book.

 

I kind of wish I hadn't played the second and third playthroughs and learned what is shown...so depressing and heart wrenching. The Aerie, the robot and the little shade, and then the wolves especially. I had to stop playing for a bit, as I felt terrible continuing on...but I'm the sort of guy who can't play evil in DnD games or video games.
