I dunno. I was just creating a possible scenario of what may have "really" happened, if what Hannah/Eve says is nothing but a very complex lie to get away with murder. It was an exercise in creativity, if you want. The truth is everything said by the person or people being interviewed can be put into question. If we accept that the testimony represents what actually happened, then both of the two main theories may have some ground beneath them. But if we assume that some parts (or everything) that the suspect(s) said may be a lie... then we end up with the "criminal mastermind/insane genius" interpretation.

If it really was that she was lying about everything, then I'd say this game's story is absolutely terrible and a waste of time. Thankfully, it's pretty clear that your explanation isn't possible because it would make the underlining theme of reflections and mirrors completely pointless. Maybe your theory is mechanically consistent, but literarily it simply isn't.

 

[Moobabe]

I dunno, I feel like "Can you arrest someone who doesn't exist?" is pretty definitive.

It's really funny that in the Giant Bomb Quick Look, Vinny had them search for all sorts of terms that would traditionally indicate split personality / multiple personality and nothing came up.

Yeah but tonally that phrase is incredibly provocative - especially considering she's just spent the majority of that interview discussing how she and Hannah disposed of Simon's body and hatched their alibis.

And the game deliberately doesn't allow that kind of search - it's so well done.

Who's to say what's pointless and what isn't though? What if that theme is too obvious? The same way the song she sings is incredibly heavy handed thematically with how it ties into her stories.

It's not just spoken by her though. It's tied into game by showing your reflection on screen and the reversi game. Yeah, it's heavy handed, but it's still there.

That's what I mean though - for a game that demonstrates incredible subtlety at times would the main "aha" moment really be spread across the whole experience that heavy handedly?

 

[Jam_Sponge]

Cracking game! Fascinating to see so many people coming to the conclusion of twins - was never a possibility that crossed my mind. So much of the Eve & Hannah stuff makes it pretty clear that they're the same person - identical handwriting, communicating to the other "twin" by tapping on the table in an empty room, Eve talking about watching Hannah kill Simon as if she was physically there at the time, etc.

And that's not to mention the wonderful parallels between the story of Eve and the story of Rapunzel. I'd say it's interesting that so much of the argument against the split personality theory revolves around the sudden appearance of the tattoo - surely if Eve was wearing a blonde wig rather than permanently dying her hair, a fake/henna tattoo wouldn't be that out of the question?

As for the tan, I'd say that's likely to be the case of continuity problems outside of the control of the game developer's hands. In the UK all it takes is one sunny weekend to completely screw up something like that!

 

[sometimes i game]

I just re watched a ton of clips and re read the chit chat ending and I think the game makes it pretty clear that it is one insane person. Not buying the twins possibility as being plausible at all.

Interesting game, could have been more fulfilling and rewarding but works as is. Don't feel like I'm solving a crime or discovering the truth more than watching random clips and thinking "oh, interesting. Wonder what else." Would like to see this concept applied to a more straightforward crime and multi-person cast.

I actually read the tapping as her not talking to herself - but mimicking the conversations she had with her "other." At least the first time she does it - the second time is a little more calculated.

I'm still undecided as to where I lie on an overall theory though - I think there's a decent amount that could go against the split personality depending on how you read it. You talk about the murder scene where Eve's description of events is way too specific to be heard second hand (though again - her "rehearsed" answer to one particular question suggests that that level of corroboration isn't impossible between two people - especially after she talks about writing specific stories in her diary to share between the "two" of them.) That level of specificity only occurs a few times; Simon's murder scene, the night of Simon's "disappearance" and "Eve's" story and recollection of living with a midwife called Florence.

If we assume that Eve/Hannah are one person then who is Florence? If Florence was the midwife then the story about having the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, the mother being told she was dead and then this girl going to live with the midwife in secrecy is also a little too specific?

I know that Florence's story with Eve could be seen as an allegory - but wouldn't that kind of information be easy to check for the people interviewing her? Was Florence real? Did she live opposite the family? Was she a midwife? Did a child actually die at birth?

We're not solving a crime though - the crime has been solved already. We're learning about our mother. I agree though - I think once I had discovered about the murder and was missing about 10 clips or so the actual experience of "playing" wasn't as run when I was just using admin_random to get those last few clips.

 

[Noaloha]

I think the theory that she's just been inventing/lying about the whole thing has at least some merit and it wouldn't cheapen the game for me were it 'correct'. Her story, her own modern fairy tale. A story about stories and our relationships with them. "And all these stories we've been telling each other? Just that: stories." A similar theme to something like Life Of Pi's unreliable narrator.

She's definitely unreliable - but there are multiple layers of framing to the narrative. We have Eve *and* Hannah's telling of the story. We as the player are also a frame since the narrative is determined by what we input into the database. We've also been given access to this database by the person on the other end of the chat programme. Finally there's the detectives (since we know there's more than one, definitely at certain points, maybe throughout) asking the questions and guiding the narrative - crucially their questions are omitted.

 

[that_dude_guy]

There is a single moment in the game that convinces me that we're dealing with MPD and not a complex twin switcheroo. During one of the videos (I really wish I'd tagged it), the Eve personality is fielding a question which she clearly doesn't know the answer to. It may have had to do with the speeding ticket back in February. But after reaching for several answers, she puts her head down for a moment and raises it again as the new personality. She appears bewildered, instinctively pulls her hair back, and begins answering the question more authoritatively as Hannah.

 

[castorpt]

Same here, definitely MPD. I'll be referencing the actual video files in the steam folder.

On the third video, she starts as Eve, asks for black coffee and has her hair down.(D301)

Halfway through the interview she throws up (D312)
When she returns, she is now Hannah, with the hair pulled up and drinking tea.

A total change of character in the same interview.

 

[Jam_Sponge]

Oh yeah, one thing that REALLY bothers me that I don't think I've seen mentioned yet: Why the *hell* is she playing the guitar in a police interview room?!

First time I discovered those bits, it changed my perspective on the whole game completely - I was pretty sure at that point that the "MT" in the room name at the top right of the screen stood for mental treatment. The idea that a police station would have an acoustic guitar knocking about for suspects to have a play with? No. No way.

So yeah, it really just annoys me that those bits are there. Cool in terms of narrative - again, the lyrics loosely tie in with some of the stuff she invented about Eve - but it really breaks the overall illusion for me.

(At the point at which I first became fixed on the "MT" theory I was also convinced that not only was Eve a fictional character - I thought that MOST of the people she was mentioning were. The whole thing about the dolls house and giving each of the characters their own little lives made me think that everyone she mentioned was just an extension of that - Simon in particular fit in with that, the idea that he made beautiful glasswork stuff fit in with the world of her dolls house, which (I think) featured tiny handmade windows and mirrors. This theory quickly became defunct, but I quite enjoyed the idea at the time! In the end I guess it still had an impact - part of the reason she fell in love with Simon was because he fit in to this doll house world.)

I like that actually! The house where Florence lived with Eve could have been the doll house - with Eve looking out through the window at Hannah playing but she was never allowed out. Maybe not every character is an extension of that but I could certainly see that working.

 

[Jam_Sponge]

Oh yeah, a final thought I had (but not really a plot-related one) was how neatly it fit that I was playing her daughter. Right from the start I became way more interested in finding out about the person in the videos, to the point that I quickly sacked off the murder investigation in favour of listening to her talking about her childhood. At the time, I found myself feeling a bit silly - joking to myself that I was a bit of a shit detective - but when I finished the game the way I'd played weirdly ended up making a lot more sense. I do wonder if that was partly intentional in terms of the design, and if a lot of people made similar choices in terms of the angle they decided to take?

I think maybe the design of the game as initially presented makes you a lot less interested in solving the crime - there's clearly no win condition for working out WHODUNNIT, or even an encouragement to solve anything fast - so to me it always felt much more like an exercise in voyeurism that just happened to revolve around an apparent murder.

 

[Corpekata]

I don't think the guitar she is using is the police station's guitar. If you search guitar you'll see them ask Hannah about a guitar trying to find out who it belonged to. One of the "sisters" is a performer, the other isn't. I'd say it's more likely meant as a test of some sort by the police to see who they're dealing with as they've already had Eve posing as Hannah earlier.

Nothing much different, No is just to reinforce that you can come back later to watch more videos mainly.

I want to believe the whole split personality theory but..
Florence's diary, the Odeon cinema, mom surprised her daughter changed clothes so quickly, helping Hannah loose her virginity, pregnancy vs STD, mushrooms in the attic, the bruise and so on.

It felt like the split personality was more of a red herring, but maybe it's the reverse scenario for me.

I mean, this is all told by her. Nothing about what she said should be taken at face value.

I mean, take Hannah's account and Eve's account of their parent's death. Eve's excuse for not being found is basically "I guess they never felt the need to check the attic" which is a bit on the silly side when you hear it from Hannah that they went so far as to bring in forensic specialists to find out the cause of death.

Florence's diary was burned when she "moved across the road", so yeah - no evidence of anything there, or even any evidence that Florence ever existed.

Odeon makes no sense at all - the idea they kept meeting in the bathroom to swap the same outfit back and forth? That was the point at which - for me at least - it became crystal clear that it was MPD.

Story about surprise of a quick clothes change could easily be exactly that, I've had people comment on me getting dressed incredibly quickly before, and I don't have a mirror twin.

Pregnancy and STD support MPD too - the STD/lots of sex with strangers in alleyways likely caused the miscarriage.

Bruise on opposite cheek makes sense with the context about how they had to mirror each other - if Hannah had a bruise on her right cheek, Eve would have to then have one on her left. So the first bruise was caused naturally, the second one she likely gave herself. As for the incident with the hairbrush, well - I shouldn't have to spell that one out, but google images would likely offer too much information.

The mushrooms and the attic are a fascinating one, I adore that this whole aspect is left very vague, but I suspect that this really highlights the darkest aspect of the relationship between Hannah and her alter ego. At the point at which Hannah feels like she no longer needs Eve, perhaps Eve acting as the "strong one" decides to do her bit to help both her and Hannah by making it so they no longer have to live with Simon's parents. Makes it seem like Eve's function in terms of "getting stuff done" extended a lot further than just confidence and seduction... Still, I enjoy how little information we're given about the rest of Hannah's childhood and her life - does leave you wondering how much awful stuff they'd done over the years...

Oh wow, I hadn't noticed this. Need to watch that interview again!

It's really funny that in the Giant Bomb Quick Look, Vinny had them search for all sorts of terms that would traditionally indicate split personality / multiple personality and nothing came up.

Similarly searching "twins" or "twin" just gives you "TWINS? HAHA YOU KIDDING" and all that. Videos that were obviously added because they KNEW people would search for this and since the search results are chronologically, they wanted the first results to be like this.

Which btw made me think about the game design aspect. Stuff like "mirror" was probably discussed so much in the beginning in order to "hide" the last interview a bit longer.

Yeah, I'm actually kinda bummed that I accidentally stumbled upon the "twist" pretty early. I don't remember the search term, but about 10-15 minutes in I found a video where the main character refers to "Hannah" in the third-person, which made it really clear there was something bigger going on.

[MicroCuts7]

Maybe the attic was hidden.

It was.

There isn't actually an attic. The "attic" is a reference to her mind. Just where they played/came together, but it's just a representation of her messed up little world. It's where Hannah went when she needed to be alone with Eve, and where Eve usually stayed. But sometimes Eve would take over. Usually swapped with a mirror/reflection reference. However, as she aged, it seems like she was able to control the change more (the wig, living with Simon without him knowing for many years) - which is why she was able to turn things around in the midst of one of the interviews.


- Bathroom switching (just about every bathroom in the world has a mirror).
- The window reflection.
- The silver mirror gift.

^^ Those are the times when she tends to get a little crazy aside from the one time during the police interview.


Pretty certain that Simon was murdered as soon as Hannah/Eve found out that he knew about both personalities and started to confront her about it after playing along for some time. I'm also fairly sure that her parents were murdered for the same reason.

"Mummy/Daddy let me cook dinner!!"

- which would explain her odd description to cooking with the knife reference when she looked at that one photo. (Since each of those photo's and her song all played into her story somehow).

The easiest way is every time you find a new video delete the word blank from the user tags and then when you cant find any more videos search for "blank" and it will show you the first five videos you have not watched. This is also a good way to watch them in order instead of going through the games files.

I don't see it. There is the hair thing, sure, but she is drinking water the entire rest of the interview, not tea. And her personality is very Eve not Hannah the whole time and she answers a whole slew of questions that were Eve focused like details on the trip to Glasgow. Which Hannah could have rehearsed for, sure, but I don't see Hannah personality in any of the post-spew red blouse interview videos.

Search for "BLANK". That search returns all videos with the default "BLANK" tag (but only shows 5 or 15). Watch what you haven't seen watch and mark everything with some other tag like X. Then repeat once you have watched everything. Also useful if you want to be able to watch the whole interview chronologically.

Was there discussion about the 1 missing volume (yellow square among the all green ones) even after getting the 100% achievement? I wonder what that is about. Also I feel pretty stupid for not figuring out the split personality thing on my own but oh well

 

[Joey Ravn]

If it really was that she was lying about everything, then I'd say this game's story is absolutely terrible and a waste of time. Thankfully, it's pretty clear that your explanation isn't possible because it would make the underlining theme of reflections and mirrors completely pointless. Maybe your theory is mechanically consistent, but literarily it simply isn't.

No, why would you even say that? If anything, having MORE possibilities and MORE possible interpretation is what makes this game so rich. Nothing is rendered invalid. In fact, it would add another layer of deception to the theme of mistaken identities and false appearances.

That being said, it's not "my" theory, really. I'm just saying that Hannah, Eve or Hannah/Eve are unreliable narrators, and I think that's something that we all can agree on. We know for certain that she lied at at least once, when she gave her name as "Hannah"--or, at least, if we assume MPD and based on how a polygraph operates, we know that she is convinced that she is Eve at that moment. If she lied in one instance... how can we know that she didn't lie about something else? Or about everything else?

But for the sake of discussion, I will entertain this line of thinking. Is there any definitive proof that demonstrates without a shade of doubt that everything Hannah and/or Eve said is factually true?

 

[Ophelion]

I have a lot of problems with this being dissociative identity disorder. There's no discussion of ongoing childhood abuse. There's no evidence Eve came into being to protect Hannah from anything or to cordon off anything that happened to her. People with DID tend to be confused about details related to when alters are in control. Hannah would be a mess in interview if she had DID. Collaborating close enough with a "seperate persona" that they could get their story straight for an alibi totally defeats the purpose of why people dissociate in the first place. This is just really not how this disorder works.

So, I have to think it's either twins as implausible as parts of that might be or we're being taken for a ride. I wonder if there's any significance to when Hannah/Eve asks if the camera is recording. Maybe she wants us to see things like the "Why are you talking about Eve?" scene. If the "is that camera recording?" days correlate with stuff like that, I have to wonder if she isn't performing for the camera.

I wonder if the creators will ever reveal if they had a specific interpretation in mind or if they're trying to construct a scenario with just enough facts and just enough distrust that you can read it in whatever way you wish.

Anyway, very neat game. Figured it was twins pretty early on, and while I think the "split personality" thing is interesting, I think things like the bruise prevent it from being possible. It's literally there one day and gone the next otherwise. Plus the wrong side of face thing, reaching up as though you were looking at another person's face.

Loved it overall though.

While I agree is it not an accurate portrayal of DID, I don't know I can get behind dismissing it for that. Demanding accurate psychology means stuff like the polygraph and the ink blot/story cards are suspect. Which presents a bunch of problems in the story. I am content with it being fictitious psychology with polygraphs that work as I think confirmation that Eve lied using Hannah's name is a more important plot point than textbook accurate psychoanalysis and portrayal.

Bruise might have been makeup, the "wrong side of face" thing might have been intentional, too. It all depends on what theory you subscribe to I guess. You can also find ways for this to work with "MPD" and "I'm going to tell the police I have a twin and see if I can convince them".

I'd say it's interesting that so much of the argument against the split personality theory revolves around the sudden appearance of the tattoo - surely if Eve was wearing a blonde wig rather than permanently dying her hair, a fake/henna tattoo wouldn't be that out of the question?

It doesn't fit. Eve doesn't lie about wearing a wig to perform. Why would she lie about the tattoo? She said she got it 8 years ago, and Simon was able to guess her name by her tattoo. It isn't a part of her 'act'.

Well if we are going to go down this road, she lied about finding her twin and her twin's husband with a slit throat and helped her twin come up with a plan to hide the body, adjust the watch, and be in Glasgow when it "happened" to throw off the police.

Nope. She has very good reason to lie about the murder. She has no reason whatsoever to lie about her tattoo.

This was the perfect experience to play with my SO. We were firmly on the twins side of the fence.

Any recommendations for games you can play together that are good in the way this was? I don't mean co-op... I mean where you can discuss, digest, debate and not exclude the party not in control.

It's pretty blunt that she's trying to convince them she doesn't have a twin at that point in the investigation.

Also pretty blunt that the police had reason to suspect they were twins in order to ask the question. And yet somehow they never felt the need to bluntly ask her about her identity issues...
