chapter 7: danse macabre , could mean this. or this .
well could be wrong but that was fun to look up lol
This is soooo good! So many possibilities; the spouse could the a criminal the MC met at work; or a stalker who was obsessed at them; or even a spouse that the MC tried to run away from.
The care was sweet yet borderline creepy and the fact that there was no one else beside them giving me black mirror vibe.
Just found that WIP and I already like it!
Plus, it is so awesome that the MC is a Nurse! So few games have that, and its so funny finally being able to really feel connected with a MC like that!
The writing was good, the spouse is only a little bit creepy (which will surely change lol) but that dream was really great, gave me goosebumps!
The Mc is basically Harley Quinn - nurse, fell in love with insane inmate, worked together to do heinous crimes. Classic love story, you know.
Just kidding. So far we know that: the Mc and spouse have known each other for quite awhile, that they moved from a bustling city to a reclusive location and then to a different country, in a new highly secluded off-grid area (highlyyyy suspect!), that the Mc was a nurse, remembers prison, probably employed if we take the spouse at face value, that the way the spouse and Mc met was “ironic” in some way, that the spouse finds this new situation a good thing but that they also want them to get their memories back.
The last points made me reconsider the spouse being a stalker, because if that were the case they probably would prefer the Mc remain oblivious to the past.
But then if this new situation is better, at least for the spouse, it could be that there is something the spouse wants the Mc to forget about?
Ugh, I don’t know. With the way that the spouse gets a pleased look in their eye if the Mc mentions cynicism towards people, me thinks they definitely have some serial killer type dynamic going on.
I’ve been thinking about the movie (based on book) that this WIP reminds me of. Before I Sleep. The wife lost her memory; woke up to a dotted husband and later found out it was all lies.
Love the story so far. Definitely going to keep my eye on it. And seeing as everyone is making theories then I’d like to put mine as well if you’re willing and interested to listen.
Ahem…my theory is a bit different than the ones that are presented on this thread from others but what if…we (the MC) are the actual criminal. We worked as a nurse in a hospital maybe and did some bad there (maybe killed a person or two) and got sent to prison afterwards. The husband/wife was a security guard there or someone who had an everyday job at the place. They got attached to us and broke us out. And I mean like really really attached seeing from the dialogue in the story at points. Not sure about the car crash part though, maybe we tried to kill them as well and they tried to prevent that, resulting in the incident. And about the nightmare or dream, what if we were treated that poorly back in the day as well, turning us in to what (presumably) are today. That’s my theory on the whole thing.
My final words are that keep up the good work and best of luck to you!
“That damn bastard, it worked,” he mutters. Apparently happy with the results, the man puts the blinding tool away. He doesn’t pull away the hand, but instead uses it to steady your head as he tilts a glass of water against your lips. How this man expects an answer with all these interruptions, you don’t know. But the water is cool and refreshing. It chases away the dryness of your mouth, so you forgive him.
Umm here missing a carriage return between these two paragraphs?
Pffffft, it’s a really silly theory, but what if we were the Anthony/Abigail, our spouse interchanged our names, hey we recall the spouse’s name first!
Also it would be rather ridiculous when the MC and the spouse are opposite gender. Can’t even hold on the ground at the slightest bit.
I suspect the “irony” to which Abigail/Anthony alludes is that when they first met Abigail/Anthony was the imprisoned patient being nursed back to health by the MC. Now the shoe is on the other foot…
But if related to the nightmare, maybe even when we choose to be a cis male for now, but actually in the past we thought we were female, and vise versa… Silly.
This is super intriguing! I’m getting vibes that are halfway between The Island and The Skin I Live In, and wholly unsettling (in the best of ways). I can’t wait to see just how strange it will get.
Okay, after playing the demo, i think i do have a nice theory!
We worked at the prison as a nurse. An inmate and we developed a close relationship, hence the spouse knows about us and our cat. After, the inmate or inmates needed to be transported (or maybe the inmate was psychotic and had to be delivered somewhere else?) and we accompanied them on their journey. But someone or something happened and the whole car/bus crashed into the river. The inmate helped only us and since then they try to disguise themselves. But every time we get to remember the truth and resist, they knock us out, and make sure to erase everything. Hence the saying, " that bastard it worked "
Can’t even hold on the ground at the slightest bit.
