My theory is that she tried to ditch him in the park like the mother tried to ditch Hansel and Gretel in the woods. The whole game is her reliving that day and drowning in guilt, feeling she is responsible for what happened because she left him there, even if she wasn't wielding the weapon.
yeah and that she ditched him there when the park was still open, and she went back to the park due to her guilt, and the tedy part may be a story she is reliving from another time she went to the parc with him, and the empty park reminded her of the now empty park (so 3 timelines total, 1. tedy lost after closing, 2. abandoning 3 revisiting
My theory is that there is kinda of a super natural thing to the park but the thing is the only thing is that is super natural is the suit I'm pretty sure if u were that suit it kills u slowly the people say is that the suit smells like a corpse yah but I think the origin owner made a demon so after his park starts doing well I think he had to do a sacrifice and wut that demon feeds off of is grief so sense Loraine had so much grief with her problems and I think she hates herself and her son to the point she will try to kill him cause when she did he let go and she still pushed down and to hid that she killed her son she ate him cause she said i didn't want to be the witch I am the which aren't I and then she reported to the police station were her husband died and all the kids were murdered at
You know the monster that was talked to her and gave her the ice pick? She is the monster, it is part of her mind, the witch. She was insane. She was at the hospital for treatment, but it did not help because of her past traumas. Her first truama was when her father took her from her mother. She was raised by her father, which her mother hated. Her mother told herself that Loraine ran away with her father, meaning Loraine's mother abandoned her. She met a guy and fell in love, she got pregnant. Her husband died. The husband forgot to rewrite his will, so it all went to his greedy parents. She was left into debt with a boy. She took pills and started to drink. She abused her son, Callem. Then after so much of her sanity left her, she killed Callem. Then went to the police, because she knew she had to, but she is fully broken. The detective is trying to peice it all together.
By itself, a very good analyse . . . but alas, nope. I sh*t you not my friends, as I made some research about this game afterwards ; and I couldn't believe it : All that happened during the game... is actually _VERY SERIOUS_ , and _VERY REAL_ for our characters ! it wasn't a mental breakdown, or depression that catched up our protagonist... but true dark energy overflowing Lorraine, as she entered this park, built upon an occult land, who long before served as a paganian ritualistic site for a sorcerer : Archibald Henderson. The man that created this park was himself slowly devoured by this energy and became a Cryptid known as a "boogey man", the horrendous Mr Loyal that followed Lorraine during all the story. Why the f**k am I affirming that... ? Because this game is actually a spin-off for an other game, a prequal for "The Secret World" : an MMO-RPG from mid 2012 that, from the informations I could gather, greatly missed the spot on release and went down pretty quickly afterwards, unknown by many, myself included... The core concept of the game was pretty much the following : _you are a member of one of three Factions ( The Templars, the Dragons, or the freakin' Illuminati ) and were trained to face cryptids, demons, occult entities and forgotten gods that are part of the secret world : the realm of all nightmares and fears of mankind. As the world slowly crumble under the rising evil and the awakening of Lovecraftian abominations ( earlier in game was named the Innsmouth Accademy, I let you imagine how far it went ), you and your organisation must lead a crusade to bring balance back in your world_ Lorraine was one of the recurrent character of this MMO-RPG, and you could see what happened to her afterwards... Oh ! And the weird bee in a jar at the end... ? That sh*t is actually a cryptid, and it's going to be implented in her shortly afterward for scientific purpose. Long story short : her fate is f**cked from the beginning to the end. And the kid was really killed by her mother. I know. . . . . . . *_WTF !?_* The most surprising part for me, is that apparently it had a "slight reboot" in 2017 under the name "The Secret World Legends".
speaking of toby i recently met a cat and named him toby hes a big boi with a little meow but hes chill and likes to be pet. ik this has nothing to do with the game but i just thought you would like to know about toby the cat :]
Okay so here's my theory: Short Summary before I begin: Lorraine did NOT kill Callum, Callum infact was killed by Chad (my theory for why is below) There is Lorraine, a woman who works in a diner and meets a man named Don, soon after beginning a romantic relationship with him she becomes pregnant with Callum. After becoming pregnant with Callum, Don who works at the Atlantic Island Park has his safety harness tampered with by Chad the Chipmunk and this ends with Don falling to his death from the top of the Ferris wheel. Lorraine becomes very upset and soon slips into depression. A few years after Callum is born she begins to take him to Atlantic Island Park. One day when she takes him, he disappears. He wanders into the house of horrors (which explains why she said he went into "the mouth of the witch") and is soon discovered by Chad the Chipmunk whom murders him and dismembers his body behind the Cotton Candy Machine (which explains the newspaper article). After he is found, No one is quite sure whom did it. Lorraine unable to cope falls even deeper into depression and ends up in a psychiatric ward where she faces electro shock treatment. After getting out she soon begins to wander back to the park thinking Callum is not dead and she tells the police he is missing (which explains the detective asking her where she last saw him). At the end, When she runs into the room and Chad is behind her it symbolizes her not knowing he caused her sons death and The monster holding her hands guiding her, was her depression. She blames herself for his death. Why do I think Chad did it? Numerous times during the story Chad was referenced to. Now if Lorraine was the killer (in my opinion) Chad would have absolutely NO reason to be there except for cheap jump scares. I think he was the killer though. If you read most of the notes during the game some referenced Chad to being very violent and/or creepy. Such as going nuts, stabbing two kids with an ICE PICK (which Lorraine was holding at the end, which again symbolizes him being the killer and her blaming herself), Acting weird around Co-Workers, and even living in his costume. Which is why it makes sense to me that mother loses child in the park, Crazy guy finds child, Murders child, and dismembers him, Mother is unable to cope, falls to depression, and blames herself. Now I may not be right but this is my theory, Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for reading.
I enjoyed reading this, but I personally think it's wrong. The letters said that Don died 3 months into her pregnancy and she started electro shock therapy soon after. And it also said that the body that was behind the Cotton Candy booth wasn't Callum because he was alive during that time. Chad was there for back story and to give some insight into the horrors at the park. I think you are right about the monster being her depression and her blaming him for her son's death. But I think she killed him mostly because of her depression and the overwhelming pressures of being a single mother and being outcasted by her family. She killed him with the ice pick because she was lost in her mind and killed herself by hanging. That's what I think anyways...
she didn't kill herself through hanging, depression can cause suicidal thoughts and acts of self harm (reason for the slices on her arm earlier). She is alive when speaking to the detective.
Hmm i think your theory is better than the one where she killed callum herself, but i have to agree with sophia c. one some points. But i think what you both said can be combined: i do think that she lost callum in the amusement park. I think she hated coming there because her husband died there and blames callum for it, explaining the narratives where it sounds like she regrets having him. I think its plausible that that Chad guy killed him (explaining the icepick and all), but another possibility is is that she lost Callum there somewhere and she tries to come up with explanations for what might have happened to him (not necessarily meaning that he's dead). The only thing that keeps me from choosing your side is that she keeps saying 'no dont make me watch/see it again' or something when shes in the haunted house and theres blood everywhere (could also be for the horror-factor but still). that makes it sound like she guilty of something (but maybe just for neglecting him because of her depression). I don't know yet i'm gonna read more theories haha
My theory: The mother got depressed after her Boyfriend Don died. She still wanted to take care of Callum, for example she went to the amusement park with him and stuff like that. "Callum loves this amusement park" When they went in the horror house of the witch, Callum was one of the dozen Childs who got lost. He was a victim by Chad. The Mother, who actually loved her son went crazy. She thought it was her own fault and that she killed her. (look at the scene where she murders him, Chad is in the background and the witch is helping her) Deep in her Heart she knows it's not her fault and that Chad was it. But her mind tells her she is the witch. The evil one who killed her son. The trip through the park shows her dark mind. She is chasing after the truth. From a nice boy, Callum starts to say things like "don't look at me" or "don't touch me". That's not real. Her mind tells her to make her believe as if she was the person who killed him. When going downstairs in the horror house we always come back to their house. We see how they both lived and whenever you got through a door, you go depper down. Deeper down in her mind, deeper down to see what she feels. When looking at the different things you can see how she got unstable. The baby dolls hanging everwhere represent Callum. She hanged them, he's dead. She put them to bed, she put him asleep. Everything represents Callum. The rubixcube who was maybe Callum's Toy, his hat. The mother wasn't looking for the teddy. She was looking for the truth. She was trying to escape her dark mind. After seeing the dead body, she saw an illusion of chad behind her. "He watches you" Callum said. He meant Chad. Chad was watching us. Of course not in reality, but in her mind. "The Park" is the story of a mother, who lost her son. She is going to the darkest time to find out who killed him, even if her mind is tricking her. That's the theory i think of.
Have u played this game before if she killed him many the witch was possessing the mother and the Sun so maybe that's why she killed her son because the witch was a real story and he was trying to escape her dark mind and the witch possessed her and she tried to fight it but she couldn't but I hope her son forgives her 😥😥😥😥😥😓😓😓😓😓😨😨😨😨😨😨😩😩😰😰😱😱😧
16:00 Mark: little....black eyed baby....OOOH baby head....oooh baby needs a nap....oooh baby has a drinkin' problem....oooh baby's just tired....OOOH.... BABY TURNED INTO ZOLIFT!!!
As far as I can tell: The Winter guy found a legend of a piece of land with particularly strong supernatural powers. A man once tried using negative emotion to power... something, this attracted enough attention, and he was driven out. So, Winter purchased the land to power the... thing, but knew that using negative emotion would attract unwanted attention. So, though it created less "power", he took the safer route of using positive energy instead. The power did, however, have side effects visible in the park. There's Chad, the many cases of accidents, the missing children (possibly Winter creating negative energy to go along with the positive?). Eventually, the side effects were too obvious, and the park was shut down before he accomplished his goal. So, he hid himself away in the House of Horrors, with the... thing he was powering, planning to one day achieve his dream. More on him later. Don and Lorraine had circumstances just like the story said. They fell in love, conceived a child, and Don died. Lorraine tried to be a good mother, but with the "whole world against her" (her mother refusing to help, Don's will not going to her, the price of medical procedures very high) she couldn't cope, and she ultimately snapped. She became abusive, beating Callum (possibly with the wrench you see). Callum grew up constantly fearful of her, but she never saw any of this in her mind. To her, she wasn't beating him, Callum wasn't fearful of her, and most of all, Callum was not growing up. But he was. Without a good mother, he got in with a rough crowd when he was older, and they snuck into the old abandoned Theme Park nearby. They were jacking around in the House of Horrors, and Winter heard them. He took Callum, and killed him in his desperation to power his machine. That's what the thing with Callum on the slab was: although she didn't do it, she felt responsible. Hence Winter (transformed into a Bogeyman-like creature from the machine) being there, helping her kill Callum. Even though she didn't cause the death alone, she felt primarily responsible.
Nice work - very accurate too! The only thing you need to account for is the fact that the positive emotion used to power the machines had to be literally siphoned from the guests - hence why everyone walked away feeling really creeped out, and why Chad and Lorraine started cracking up the moment they set foot on the grounds; they didn't have much positive emotion to begin with, so the siphoning process just peeled away all the layers between their conscious minds and the parts of themselves they'd rather not acknowledge - hence why Lorraine starts off being all sunshine and light and degenerates into a downward spiral of self-loathing, anger and paranoia. Not that she's any happier once she leaves the Park - or during the thirty years that follow.
Leighton Petty I think it was more that winter showed her the way, but she did it herself. She killed him, he did not (in her mind). She regrets that child
My favorite baby moments: Baby got put in timeout Baby turned into Zolit Baby for dinner Baby has a drinking problem Baby needs a little more time in the oven Baby's for storage Baby got put to bed Baby wants to avoid watching TV Baby just needs to relax Baby needs a cigarette No more Babies?
Why are scary games always in creepy places like jails and hospitals? I always wanted a scary game in *Walmart*. *"Clean up on aisle 13"* *"But sir...There is no aisle 13"* *Dramatic music!!!*
babies hanging from the ceiling baby got put in time baby got put to bed baby needs his diaper changed baby solved the rubiks cube baby has a drinking problem babys just tired baby turned into zolift baby for dinner baby needs a little more time in the oven babys just trying to avoid watching tv babys just trying to get through the day babies for storage baby needs a cigarette baby had a long day at work baby just needs to relax
Going to mention something I haven't seen anyone else say. I think Lorraine dealt with depression and schizophrenia, possibly due in part to her up bringing. Lorraine's mother mentions that her daughter became more like her father as she grew up, and we know her father was an alcoholic from what Lorraine says. Don's death sends her into a depressive spiral, and she's treated for that with electroshock and medications. Of course, the electroshock is torture for her, so she fakes being better to escape. She tries to keep up the facade and raise Calum, doing what everyone expects of her, but her mental state worsens under the stress, though it's not visible outwardly because she's hiding it so well. Things get worse, she begins to project her resentment onto Calum, thinking that the darkness from the park is turning him. She takes him there, and kills him, having seen the deaths there and working out that it would be the best way to do away with him, what's another death at the spooky park? I believe that there were dark energies there, that Henderson/Winter made it a shit show of weird ass monsters and demons, and that this darkness used Lorraine'mental instability to claim another victim. She killed her son at the behest of the boogeyman, who was the manifestation of her hatred for her child. She can't face this hatred, and I think that's why it always appears just out of sight, or behind her. In the end of the game, Lorraine is in the police station, covering her tracks. The park has a reputation for missing children, it's the perfect cover. But I think that at the end, she feels remorse for what she's done. That's just my take!
Well done: pretty accurate as far as theories go. Only one thing, Lorraine isn't covering her tracks. That remorse business - it's even worse than you think: she's turning herself in. Chances are, she would have committed suicide in her cell... if she hadn't ended up getting press-ganged.
Interesting fact (that no one will read): electroshock therapy is still used occasionally, as a very last resort for treatment-resistant depression. However, now it is done under full, general anesthesia, so it’s not the unethical procedure we see in movies/games, where the patient is conscious.
I've read it,and that's absolutely correct. One of my friends has electroshock therapy done since nothing else worked for them. And it's obviously painless,you just wake up hazy.
My dad is a psychiatrist, and he often treats patients using Electro-Convulsive Therapy. I always get irritated whenever I see it portrayed as this horrible, scary torture device, since all those portrayals do in reality is scare people away with an ugly falsified image. The scene with Lorraine being strapped to a table and zapped all over the body is pure fiction. In reality, the patient is asleep, and the electricity delivered isn’t even strong enough to make you feel a tingle if you were to touch it. The electricity is delivered through several hair-thin wires that are gently attached to various parts of the head, and the small electrical waves delivered will stimulate parts of the brain in helpful ways. For example, if the patient was severely depressed, the wires would deliver small bits of energy to the part of the brain that secretes endorphins (pheromones that make you happy), kicking it into gear and causing it to make more endorphins to counteract the depression. And that’s just one example of the hundreds of uses ECT has. It is a procedure that has helped thousands of people, and my dad literally has boxes and boxes full of tearful thank you letters and gifts that treated patients have given him over the years. So no. It isn’t the torture you saw portrayed in the game. Sorry if I went on a bit too long, I just hope that I cleared up some misconceptions or confusions about the procedure to anyone who reads this. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.☺☺
@@slamg4618 I was hoping someone who knew some more would post something up about this procedure! Thank you for sharing. I am always happy to learn new things, so thank you for sharing!
Jennifer Tinkham you make no sense... She didn’t kill callum in fact CHAD killed callum. We know that because of the “Cotton Candy incident” she was forced into stabbing him
@@thatonekokichikinnie9476 I disagree because at 22:32 Chad released his hands and the mother continued on and stabbed Calum BY HERSELF. Re-watch this part to see what I mean. ;)
She didn't actually kill her son. She abused him and that's why he had bruises and finger marks on him. When he ran way to Atlantic Island park to get away from his mom, Chad the chipmunk killed him with an ice pick. That's why she feels so guilty; it's as if she put the ice pick in her son herself. That's why the chipmunk was even important in this game. It's pretty obvious
Actually it's not obvious so don't be a douche. *THAT* is obvious from the comments here. And since it's from her twisted point of view, and she believes her actions are at fault for what led to the current result, then it's rather reasonable that other viewers would associate her as the guilty party. But I think your explanation has a very high likelihood.
@elementneon, I wasn't trying to be a douche, I just felt that it was obvious to me because they stressed the point of Chad killing people in this park and using an ice pick multiple times. If she was the one who killed her son, Chad would seem kind of pointless in this story. Also, you can see an ice pick in the babies eyes in Loraine's apartment just like what happened to the boy in the report. Maybe what I meant rather than obvious, was once you understand these few points, THEN it becomes obvious.
Bookworm No worries man. Ultimately, even though I keep wavering back and forth, I agree that the most comprehensive theories include Chad as the boy's likely killer. Though if the mom did snap due to the dark forces, combined with her own negative energies, along with her post electro-shocked brain I could see possible explanations for that as well. For instance I find it strange that the neighbor friend listed on her mental hospital release form whom was supposed to be watching Callum (Norma Creed) is also coincidentally the name of the witness who gave the police report when Steve attacked the kid with the ice pick during park hours. It could be that her neighbor always spoke about it, and her broken post-electro-shock brain grasped onto these recent memories to build her distorted happy space with the suppressed memories while she was being questioned by the police.
The only part about this that confused me was the fact that, if she abused her son, why would she be questioning where he got the fingerprints and bruises? But then I realized, if she was taking pills and drinking, it could be she didn't *remember* abusing Callum. (Of course, she could have been lying to herself, acting like she didn't know, but it could be more heartbreaking if she actually didn't know she was harming him and didn't want to think she could be the one harming her child). Something dark and sinister has indeed changed Callum, Lorraine. Too bad you can't realize that it was yourself.
Did anyone else watch the first episode while she was walking into the park and go "Check the car. Didn't you leave him in the car?" Also, the man in the beginning told her that Callum ran into the park and that he would "Unlock the gate" but I was kinda of confused. If he had to unlock the gate, the gate would've had to have been locked. But. if the gate was locked, how did Callum get in? PLOT TWIST: He was in the car the whole time. lol.
Same, if the gates were locked the boy was in the car. she leaves, goes crazy, son gets kidnapped form the car and killed. Kinda crap if I do say so myself
There was no car to check. There was no real park. She was in the police station the entire time, but the park is supposed to be her happy place she goes to when they question her about her missing son.
Her very first and very last statement: "In my heart and mind I always return to Atlantic Island Park." I interpret that to mean that whenever she's forced to think about what happened or is questioned about it, her mind goes there to try to block out the actual disgusting events. Happy I guess isn't the right term since she's never really known much happiness; and I suppose safe space definitely isn't the right word... Maybe her rock. The place was intended to be happy, drawing on the supernatural *positive* energy, as opposed to Old Man Henderson's attempt at gathering negative energy. The happiness and laughter was there, it just also happened to be drained out of the people there, leaving them feeling "dour" and still contending with the residual negative spirit energy previously gathered at the location.
So this game is an off shoot from another called Secret World. The motheris a test subject behind nasty experiment, Callum was taken by people and then killed, the park is a real place just not in this game. Also boogyman = Mr. Winters. To bad this is just a few years to late, wish he could see this so it could clear somethings up.
@@ShantiDoss2000 No it isn't. The Story is Much More Fleshed out in The Secret World(/It's Free to play Reboot Secret World Legends). In TSW there used to be a whole quest dedicated to Loraine after the park but that hasn't been ported/is unplayable now (you can still find yt vids of it)
Here’s one, she is suffering from a mental illness. In the last episode callum went from answering her to ignoring her and in this one she is straight up refusing her calls to come back. She also in the last episode goes from threatening to abandon him to gently asking him to come out and help her. My thoughts are that she suffers from bipolar disorder and has a split personality. Because the way callum talks it sounds like she is abusing him. He even says “Don’t touch me again!” Implying that she has abused him before. She blames callum for the suicide of her boyfriend off of the Ferris wheel (his suicide was mentioned twice in the last episode, once by the mom and the second by the incident report. She also notably hates this theme park and says it’s callum’s favorite park, implying that she is saying that callum likes this tragedy and is therefore bad
So my cats laying on my chest and if you've ever felt a cat purring ontop of you, it feels like your shaking so it just makes this horror experience ten times better
Jumpscares: 2:33 3:34 4:10 (not even one, just in case a light scares you) :P 4:20 (mini) 4:39 12:30 (Callum slamming door) 16:44 17:11 (footsteps) 18:28 (creepy music) 21:56 22:19 (witch appears) Like so other people can see :)
I've seen a couple play-throughs of this now, and this is just my personal theory. But... Lorraine was never a completely mentally healthy person. With difficult family life between her mother and father, and her father essentially kidnapping her to avoid losing custody of her, she must have grown up emotionally challenged. When she met Don and fell in love, then got pregnant, she thought she finally had everything. But pregnancy isn't what it's cracked up to be. After Callum was born, she suffered from postpartum depression. Hard. When she talks about how she didn't feel any immediate love for the squalling, screaming thing that came out of her, that's the clearest indicator there could be for that. And instead of having the time to heal and grow and move past that particular form of depression, Don dies and she is left in financial desperation with a child and no mental capacity to care for herself or another human being. The things that happened in that park I believe are constructs of her mind. Mr. Winter - the creepy guy with the long, long finger, is a mental personification of what drove her to kill her son. She is consumed by the guilt of what she's done. This game is a story of awful circumstances and tragedy.
I completely agree here. I've seen a couple streams of this game and now two other playthroughs and this is the exact same theory I thought as a conclusion. Immediately on the first time I saw it played, my mind pointed to postpartum depression and now all of the other puzzle pieces fit into place.
A little of both. Having played The Secret World, the creepy guy (The Bogeyman) is in fact real throughout. He uses manipulations of the rides and twisted illusions to break people down.
Actually, everything you saw is real. This is a prequel to The Secret World, an MMO where all the "urban legends" and "huge myths" like Chupacabra and Vampires to Cthulu and The Illuminati all exist. There's a part of the game where you go to this park and free the trapped souls of the children in the House of Horrors, then kill the bogeyman, after learning all the occult stuff that went down there. Of course, first you have to go to the "Nightmare World", which is pretty much Silent Hill in a nutshell, but anybody can go and only the mentally ill suffer severe... side effects, like Lorraine did. In fact, the second-to-last part of this game, Lorraine killing her child, is likely the bogeyman controlling her without her being aware or something (I dunno, I looked it up, never played the game, I'm going off of word-of-mouth at this point, with some facts I picked up). Long story short, this links the two: www.thesecretworld.com/news/pre_order_the_park_at_23_off
I liked this game! It was more of a psychological thriller than your classic "jump scare, shoot zombies, solve puzzles" kind of game. (Although yes, we did see some jump scares in there too, or course). The game seemed to have a very linear path (follow Callum). I praise the writers. The characters at first seem very generic, but as you go through the story, you get to feel like you're really getting to know them on a more personal level (at least the mom, anyway). The story is definitely what I would call a "tragedy," in that it has a sad ending. The scariest part of the game for me had to be when she was walking through her own house repeatedly at the end. Each time you go through the house, it is as though time is passing by, and you see indications that things for this family have gone from bad to worse. The ending is ambiguous, so it is kind of hard to tell exactly what happened. The simplest interpretation for me is that the mom finally lost it and killed her child. Other endings could be thought out, but that's the best that I know. Edit: Ayyy... just read about The Secret World and The Seven Silences... This game is certainly a part of a bigger story...
Just to clear a few things up: The Park is actually a spinoff of the MMORPG 'The Secret World'. I've never played, but I can confirm that the park is indeed real - as are the beings you encounter within it.
@@mialynette2729 Actually, as someone who has played that game since early access, I should tell you in advance that the park isn't a huge part of the game and isn't even part of the beginning. It's free and on Steam now, though I can't say I approve of how they've changed it over time. It used to be an amazing game, but they kinda ruined it.
What this looks game looks like for me Callum: "Find me mommy" Mom: "this isn't a game anymore, come back here" A few mins later Callum: "Hes watching you" mom: "Lemme just ride these rides tho." few mins later Callum: "HELP" mom: "jeez be patient lemme read these notes >:(("
The notes and whatnot are things he lead her to, a trail of bread crumbs left to guide her to the truth of what had happened and what was happening at the park. The Bogeyman (one o for some reason), formerly known as Nathaniel Winter, normally wouldn't target them given that they're so filled with negative energy, but like he said.. the park/he was just too hungry not to. So he feeds on their negative emotions rather than trying to create positive ones to drain. The end result of someone dying remained the same though.
the booth guy, it's the cop. why he is there is because that's where her heart and mind went, and thats when he asked the question. The very beginning and ending questions are very similar. But that's just my theory, my non copyrighted electronic interactive pasttime theory! Aaand, slice!
Dominic Bounds sheeet. I was confused at the part when you said when he was born, and when the park was closed, and what you said his age should be. I kinda brainfarted there. But, I dont understand where you thought the interrogation room scene would be in her head. Could you clarify?
she killed her son, but couldn't handle it. likewise for the death of her husband, she blamed the park for her loss (son). All those 'evil spirits' (the depression) took hold of her since her husband died in the park. the ending scene is the beginning of the game. She supplanted the events and thought her son is lost. By trying to think back she relives the actual game ... what happened in her mind. (a twisted version)
I mean when the park was actually OPEN it makes sense seeing how she keeps saying she had been there before and at the end the cop says tell me the last time you saw him but the time frame is never said so we can ASUME he was one of the victims it makes the most sense
The timeline has been stated: Atlantic Island Park was opened on 1978, and closed in 1980. Callum was born on the day it opened, and he's clearly *not* two years old during the events of the game. Plus, artifacts found inside the park reveals that the story takes place well into the eighties: there's a bit of graffiti reading "Carrie Killian is the devil's whore" - Carrie Killian was known and hated throughout Solomon Island during the 1980s and no earlier. Winter's notes conclude with entries taken from the 1980s, given that they already mention the park's permanent closure. Plus, outside the park, you can find a note written by William Dexter on behalf of the League of Monster Slayers: the league wasn't created until 1983. So, sorry, but it looks as though Callum wasn't one of the original kids who went missing.
And always will be. Thirty years onwards, she's still killing herself because of it - not figuratively, *literally* - as in, she has literally committed suicide but woke up alive afterwards. Oh, and another thing that makes it that much more disturbing. The note outside the park actually states that people taken by the Bogeyman fade from human memory, the only exceptions being those of children, the killer responsible, and a few of the Secret Worlders: in other words, in the final scene of this game, Lorraine is trying to hand herself over to the police... and nobody's going to know what the hell she's talking about, because as far as the rest of the world's concerned, Callum never existed. She wants to be punished for what she's done, but she can't, and because the Bogeyman made her play a part, she doesn't even have the luxury of forgetting.
Just in case anyone is rewatching this and still doesn't know this entire game is a Tie-in to the MMO The Secret World being a prequel to the events of that game
The Park is the sequel to a game called "The Secret World." Apparently TSW gives a little more incite on the story of the park and possibly the woman in this game. Just sayin, if anyone is curious about figuring out the plot or if Mark wants to do a Let's Play of "The Secret World" too.
So much reference that is included in the game "The Secret World". I believe the cardboard of the squirrel is the exact same look from the mmo too. I definitely know that at the end that character pushing her hand looked exactly like the dude from "The Secret World". Especially the scene when you had to ride the roller coaster of jump scare.
Austin, you do realize he does the some playthroughs in one go, then splits them up, right? look at his clothes, if they're the same in each video, it was one cut, all the way through, if not, multiple cuts
3:45 "Nazi vampire, or something like that?" Soviet, actually. I just stumbled into this video and reading people's theories. And I got to say, I don't think most people here know that this is a game set in The Secret World universe... which makes all the theories pretty cool. But if you do know TSW, then you know what the Park is, what the Bee at the end is, and so on. You also find out what happened to Lorraine after these events.
For all you still wanting to know: the being at the end is The Bogeyman, Mr. Winter got turned into it after the parks mombojumbo. The park is just where The Bogeyman lives, it’s his territory.
I’m fairly certain that this was all psychological. None of the “nexus of dark energy” stuff is real. It’s the story of a broken woman, in a broken family, who ended up breaking and killing her own child. Or maybe it wasn’t her, but I’m at least 87% sure that the whole game was in her head
Loraine’s mom: You grew up like your father. Me: YOU LITERALLY LEFT HER WITH HER FATHER!!! DID YOU EXPECT HER TO GROW UP LIKE T.U.F.F. PUPPY OR SOMETHING?! HER ONLY EXAMPLE WAS HER FATHER! Loraine’s mom: ...
Postpartum is the problem. The negative energy is feeding the nexus under the park. The park is meant to generate joy and thus create it. She's feeding it a buffet of emotional trauma.
@@Plagurn No,He did not examine it "all" the time.For someone who is adept at solving the rubix cube you pick up basic tricks of solving it,so he knew.
Lol, I couldn't stop laughing at all the baby jokes XDD "Baby got put in time out over there." "Woo baby got put to bed." "Oh, baby-baby solved the rubix cube" "Oh baby head! He needs a nap." "Baby turned into Zolift" "Oooh, baby for dinner!" "Baby needs more time in the oven apparently." "Oh boy more babies~ Babies trying to avoid watching tv" "Baby's just tryna get through the day.." "OH! Babies for storage!" "Baby needs a cigarette. Baby had a long day work~ baby just needs to relax"
This is a tie in game with one called The Secret world and it even has the bogeyman/witch as the main villain, i would love to see markiplier play that game cause maybe more thinks from this game would make sense
basically what I got was this. they both fell in love and then had calluim and would often go to their favorite amusement park where the dad worked. but it was a dangerous job. then the father died which led to more financial trouble because now she's a single mom. Meanwhile the park was closed down due to alot of accidents including with her lover So she has to deal with that and asks help from her mother but the mother says I can't help you because you ran away from me and stayed with your dad. So their running out of money, she still has calluim, no help at all, and she starts to go crazy because of all this happening to her. so she's put through electric shock and help. Then she keeps everything locked up in her mind and that's when she starts seeing all this stuff, and she tries to help take it away by taking all this medication and she's now hallucinating because of it. She then finds out that the lovers money and all that was left was not given to her, so she's basically left broke. And her mind starts entering this park while still being crazy and having callum. So she gets upset, and feels like she can't do it anymore. So just like Hanzel and Gretel she decides to get rid of him and the financial trouble by killing him. She then realized she's done wrong and eventually the police get involved and question her. So now in her mind she lives it out as losing him in the park to try and avoid the fact she's murdered him, and in her mind puts the police and all the characters as people from her real life. and carries regret the rest of her life. Finally trying to convince herself it was the witch from the story that took him away when in reality she was the witch.
Guys, look up The Secret World MMO. The Park is a game to portray a backstory on one of the sub-plots in that MMO. And it involves the Boogeyman (yeah, just yeah) controlling the park and using it to suck off other people's joy.
+Kitty Chan I mean, you were correct with your analysis on the protagonist's life. But there was also supernatural occurences that influenced it all, along with direct intervention by the Boogeyman (which I admit is quite odd).
Having watched a second time I think she abandoned her son in the park. Like the kids were abandoned in Hansel & Gretel. I think she was maybe suffering postnatal depression. She had previously left her kid in the car, in her mind it was only for a moment prior. The kid kept running away & all of the babies being in dangerous situations suggest to me that she was harming her son. Maybe Chad was killing children with the ice pick. Perhaps kids were drawn to the ice sculptures like the kids were drawn to the gingerbread house in Hansle & Gretel. Either Chad killed her son (her image of herself stabbing him is her blaming herself) or she found him on the slab & killed him herself. And as for the Island I think either she's making it up in her head about the creepy stuff or there waa something going on that maybe brung the worst in people, made them cave into their dark thoughts. Perhaps that was what the dark nexus was.(I don't really get the Island bit.) Although I just remembered she supposedly had electric shock therapy she maybe she suffered with a mental illness to begin with. I'm probably wrong, it bugged me the first time I saw it & it made no sense to me so this is what I gather from it.
I also thought about mental illness but when your diagnosed with mental illness doesn't the doctors normally take away children from the beginning or give to realitives who's sane to raised the child or something.
@@missjanine3658 Maybe she was diagnosed when she was younger, way before she had a son. And so was treated. Then when she had her child probably had postnatal depression, which she didn't seek help for. And then the Island affected her, turning he resentment of raising a child alone to resenting the child himself.
Ah! yes I believe this does support the other half. Also it could possibly half to do with why the voice said that both her and Calum are the type of 'energy' that the park didn't need or something like that?? but only few individuals such as herself have the 'key' referring to the ability to actually see and absorb the negative energy that no one else sees (mainly children) or truly possesses ( like it reveals abt her) or that they are simply too naive or just oblivious to understand the situation in front of them both irl and/or what is believed to be their imagination of a perfect world an escape? ( sorry I jotted it in the middle of the vid so I could be entirely wrong lol )
ALTERNATE ENDING: Lorraine fought against Chad, and stabbed that monstrous bastard instead, thus saving Callum. Once Lorraine and Callum reconnected, they left the park forever and reported what happened to the police. They then carried on to live a happy life; a good home, and later a bigger family, including a new addition to the family; a baby girl named Emma. ANOTHER ALTERNATE ENDING: Lorraine stabbed herself instead, saving Callum. He grew up in the park forever, and was now treated as part of a family by Chad and the other monsters. He also became a murderer, and later committed suicide because of everything he had been through and everything he had done. (sorry, i wanted a happy ending)
Ok so here's my speculation. Lorraine (like I said in my previous theory on ep2) has dissociative identity disorder. Here, at the end of the game, she's realizing she has an alter (which is the term for a seperate personality) So I was sort of right in my thoughts that she was both the witch and Gretel. She's coming to terms with it and, if but for a moment, realizes what she's done. Her alter, the witch, is who killed Callum. She clearly had a traumatic childhood and I think losing Don is what caused her to develop the alter. Sort of the straw that broke the camel's back, that's what really made her snap. She was left as a single mother and things quickly went downhill from there. The witch was the one abusing Callum, whereas Lorraine was basically just trying her best. So the whole journey through the park was essentially (as Mark said) a metaphor for her coming to terms with her mental illness and the fact that Callum is dead. She turned herself in, but I think in the end she still didn't really fully come to terms with the fact that Callum is gone, so it was less her turning herself in and more her still thinking she's lost her son. Which she isn't completely wrong, really. I think the deal with the park, the dark energy, etc, is really just a backdrop, a seperate story if you will. I read somewhere that there's another game or something that takes place in this same universe and has lovecraftian elements to it (which would explain why this takes place in Dunwich, and also why Callum has a cthulu shirt.) All in all, I loved this series. I thought it was an excellent game. Although confusing I think if you take the time to piece together what you've been shown you can understand what the ending was meant to convey. Great let's play, Mark.
I'm actually patching now because I had left a low level Pistols+Blade Templar toon by the name of Ned "Nedpool" Flanders toward the end of the Kingston storyline a few months back. I made him for Carter Unleashed because fuck doing low level content with a high level Chaos+Fists+Quantum Dragon toon.
Link Rocks The people who actually know what's going on are getting frustrated with all these silly theories. The Park is a Spinoff of an MMO where you play as a sort of bee-enhanced supersoldier for one of three different secret societies. At one point you go to the Atlantic Island Park (32 years after the events of The Park), sleuth around, rescue all the souls of the children Nathaniel trapped in the Nightmare World, and then punch/stab/shoot/magic him in the face for being a such spindly sweatgoblin. The game got mixed reviews because the gameplay is substantially different than most other MMOS and some people didn't like that. The main selling point is the really deep lore, fully voice acted cutscenes, and the fact that every NPC is either sarcastic or just unhinged from having to deal with all the weird shit that goes on around them.
Something about Lorraine's voice makes it sad when she's scared. It has the caring sound of a loving mother which makes the game even harder to go through so you don't have to hear her cry.
What if she just blames herself for callums death like her boyfriend. That was his favorite park and it was obviously a bad place. Maybe the ferris wheel carriage that flew off had callum in it and that was how he died? or he just went missing in the park in general. She keeps returning there in her mind because it's where she lost both her boyfriend and her child there. Maybe she blames herself for his disappearance because instead of refusing to go back to the place she continued to visit with her son and he ended up getting lost or killed in an accident.
+jake barnes The Secret World actually has a Halloween mission that continues The Park's story. The story itself is connected to the first couple areas. It helps allow you to better understand the park and the boogyman connection.
Alot of HP Lovecraft references in this, Innsmouth, Dunwich, Cthulu Looks like the evil park manipulated her and her family the whole way through for maximum misery Also getting strong silent hill vibes from the beginning and ending there
Any idea what the sequel is called, I couldn't find out, wikipedia just says The Park was based in the same universe as 'The Secret World' which I really didn't expect
Ah ok then, thanks for that, always found the secret world interesting but was kind of put off by thew huge MMO aspect of it, it is cool to see spinoff games for it though because alot of the story looked really interesting
I think she's lost the plot and gone mad, she's killed her son and keeps looking and telling herself that he's running away so she doesn't live with the agony and regret of killing him.
XD That's not right, I read the description of the game. it seid "This game is a item with many different topics!, Horror, Search and destroy ect! So the settings is a Park! Someone lost there son Calum and the Mom is trying to find him.
After all these years I still love this game. The perfect creep factor with minimal jump scares to make it terrifying. I feel inspired to make something similar if I ever figure out game making
Look I think she left him in the park like Hansel and Gretel and that murderer guy in the park killed him , and I think that her puting the knife in him was her feeling bad for his death because in some ways she is responsible and then she went back to the park just to never find him again
I don't think so She's psychologist, there is no monsters and she made it all up That monster her son talked about was her She killed her son And blamed it on the "monsters" Inside her head
I think she hated the park because Don died in its construction but since Callum wanted to go she took him and then lost him in the House of Horrors like the other 12+ kids that went missing. i think they never found him and it was like losing Don again to her and so she blames herself, as if she actually killed him because SHE took hime to the park.
Actually it's simpler than that. The story is this: Everything happened exactly as you guys saw it. The trick here is that this game is a spinoff of an MMO called The Secret World where shit like that is normal for the player but everyone else is just trying to cope with shit going wrong. The MMO takes place 32 years later, and you actually go through Atlantic Island Park and after investigating what sort of occult shitbaggery powers the place, go to the Nightmare Realm (where that last part takes place) and release all the missing children's souls followed by shooting Nathaniel in his stupid Bogeyman face.
She's in purgatory like the people on Lost and no matter how she tries to escape the fact that she killed her child, she keeps getting brought back to the truth of her actions.
1:58 Given that I just learned this game is connected to some "The Secret World" MMO (basically the supernatural is real and you fight it regularly), I REALLY wouldn't be surprised if that actually *is* a werewolf-skin rug.
Here's a theory. After Don died and callum was born, she began taking him to this park, but like she said "Callum really grinds my gears" and "There bruises on him" it means that she kept abusing him because of her depression from Don dying and why she explained how hard it is to be a mother, and how they kept taking and taking and she kept getting more morbid when she explained motherhood. Callum ran into the park to get away in fear of her abusing him again, she came after him, but Chad killed him, explaining some news reports. At the end when she put the icepick into him, that symbolized that she blamed herself for Chad killing him with the ICE PICK. SHE didn't kill him, Chad did, why else would chad be there if he didn't do anything but jump scare you for no reason? She was hallucinating Chad being there, reminding her what happened, and why she kept coming back to the park, because she can't forget what happened, and maybe everything that happened in this game happens again and again in her mind every day, so she can never forget what she "did" and that's why she takes the pills and was in the psychiatric ward, on the roller coaster. The guy in the top hat well... I don't have much, but I think that's her inner demon, taunting her, and making her do things. That's all I have on this, any one else can but there theory down, but remember that CHAD killed callum, if he didn't then he would have no purpose in this game.
but...but it doesn't make any sense the top hat guy really doesn't do anything all he did is give her the ice pick (or icepick) then she did the rest but chad killing umm... the kid really is peculiar cause. its so hard to explain!!!! I bet nobody can solve it but the creator of the game him self (I dont know who he is) but... its really just some bad mother who killed her own child but with the help of some demons by help I mean the demons were some sort of causing it wait a minute! the the top hat guy possessed chad!! it could be possible because chad was only a normal person but the top guy did look like a demon I just discovered another theory but I could be completely wrong or just half right but I got something right I can't believe I wrote so much well time to watch another markiplier video; )
Dominic Bounds ..I think the horror aspect of her imagination has come from her self realisation that she was the murderer..as we come to know that she remembers the whole of this when the police asks her about Callum..

Tbh I think that the park is like that's where Don died so her mind always goes back to the park since that's the last place he was alive. And her depression and hatred for calum (I forgot how to spell it) is the "witch" of the park. so basically she's trying to fight the "witch" to stop herself from hurting her son that's why she was so bipolar with saying stuff like, "I'm so sorry!" or "that little fuck owes me everything." because its two sides of her. one wanting have her son and love him but the other side wanting him dead. So I think she killed her son and she always relives it in her mind at the park with the "witch" and that she was never really at the park she just goes back there since that was the place Don died and Calums favorite place.
The one problem is that you need to factor in the world this takes place in to make an effective theory. This takes place in "The Secret World" where zombies, monsters, ghosts, etc. are all very much real, and the events in this game can very well happen in said world.
***** she killed her son, went a bit crazy and went to the park where her last happy memories with him likely were, then started to be tormented by the park itself and the boogy man/park master.
Damn this story is so deep. I got it right from when this revealed it all. The developers has done really really good work with this game. And Markiplier, you made the most interesting gameplay experience in these videos.
I'm pretty sure that she had postpartum depression, which is why she had that doctor's note and they gave Callum back to her. They didn't consider her a threat to her son anymore, but as he grew up, she fell back into her depression and became addicted to zolift. That caused to her to care less and less for Callum. As for if she killed him or if he actually went missing/the other children went missing and were killed, I can't say for sure.
Agreed. The last book he picked up at the end is a big hint about postpartum. Just don't know how her postpartum fits in with the history of the park unless her father who kidnapped her was also the killer at the park...that would also mean she had family history of mental instability.
+MurphysLaw744 well postpartum depression isn't necessarily a heritiary thing, any woman is vulnerable to it because it happens after giving birth to a baby and there are also hints in her narration. She felt let down by him when she first held him and thought "is this it?" When I first heard that, I had a feeling that she developed postpartum. I think the park ties in because another reason she got postpartum and had to have her son taken away was because Don was dead.
This is probable true, but inaccurate. The real life drug her pills are based off of arent addictive, that's not how antidepressants- especially sertraline- aka zoloft- function at all. It takes a considerable amount of time to work, the effects are subtle since i t just corrects the chemical balances in the brain, it has no high, or pain relief or other effects. I think she might have actually *stopped* taking them, and the surplus of bottles we see are actually the failed reminders of what she desperately needed but wasn't following through with.
That's a lie. The Park is a spinoff from The Secret World designed to flesh out one of their questing locations. Basically everything that happened in The Park was actually happening. The part with the ice pick is the only scene open to interpretation. We never see her stab Callum, we just see Nathaniel forcing her to put the ice pick over her son's heart. I choose to interpret this as her finally giving up on getting her son back, because Nathaniel spirited her son away to the Nightmare Realm to fuel his immortality. In TSW (which takes place 32 years later) you actually go in and rescue all the children's souls and kill that Horrifying Haberdasher.
SilencedSkies is correct. It was simply double sided. The reflection off the black eyes gives the illusion of the eyes following you. A well known optic illusion used in paintings.
also why was she given back Callum? the locals knew that she wasn't well mentally. also I think she did kill Callum but was maybe possessed/influenced by the Dark nexus if it is real.
Oh my, just chilling alone at 3:23 AM deciding to watch Mark, and now re thinking why I'm watching this video at this time. Will I sleep, I don't think so...
Spoilers: I don't think she killed her son, I believe that he was one the children that went missing and that she blamed herself for "killing" him. It makes sense, depressed people tend to blame themselves for things they didn't do. I know that from experience, and I don't believe her stress made her snap and kill her own son. I just think that she didn't look after him as closely as she should have while at the park and he got lost and never found again. Therefore, she would think it was her fault from the beginning. The whole murdering of her son was just a dramatization inside her head that didn't actually happen. Also, this game just makes me sad instead of scared.
I agree with you on this, I thought about it when in an earlier episode when he was reading the missing children notes. I thought it was a sign saying that her son was missing.
Yes she is chasing him too and saying "don't leave me alone" she also mentions she visits the park from time to time. Maybe to search for her son who's gone missing and whom never showed up.
That could be true, but I think her son is like a "crying child" from fnaf but it's more of "the missing child" or something like that and she's blaming herself about the whole disappearance of him she suicided and now she keeps going back into the park trying to find her son or something like that...just me thinking nonsense 😅
OKAY SO HERE WE GO. Last part of "The Park". I watched the first two parts in the dark with both headphones on in my bed. Oh, did I also mention that it's storming outside? No joke. Finally at part three and I am still (an idiot) wearing both headphones in my dimly lit bedroom while a storm rages outside. Trying not to crap myself. I have a strong feeling I might.
Dunno if anyone will read this since this came out years ago. But this game is a spinoff from the MMO "The Secret World" currently known as "Secret World Legends" on steam. That MMO is jam packed with awesome world building and story elements. You definitely get a LOT more backstory on the park in that game if anyone is curious. You also go to other places mentioned in this game such as "Innsmouth University." It's free to play and all of this takes place in pretty much the starting area of the game. So I highly recommend checking it out. It's definitely a unique MMO experience.
bookworm had it right, she abused him for her troubles, and he ran away from her to the park, and that was were her son went "missing". i bet that chipmunk did it
H. P. Lovecraftian horror story basically. Supernatural power obsessed rich guy (Nathaniel Winters) turned monster, fucking with people's minds/emotions and feeding off of their emotions to fuel his eternal life.
For anybody wondering, The Park is a spinoff of a game called The Secret World, and that creature we see is a character that appears - the Boogeyman - and he appears in the game at, as you guessed, the same park.
My theory is that she tried to ditch him in the park like the mother tried to ditch Hansel and Gretel in the woods. The whole game is her reliving that day and drowning in guilt, feeling she is responsible for what happened because she left him there, even if she wasn't wielding the weapon.
I can see that, thank you •∆×
yeah and that she ditched him there when the park was still open, and she went back to the park due to her guilt, and the tedy part may be a story she is reliving from another time she went to the parc with him, and the empty park reminded her of the now empty park (so 3 timelines total, 1. tedy lost after closing, 2. abandoning 3 revisiting
My theory is that there is kinda of a super natural thing to the park but the thing is the only thing is that is super natural is the suit I'm pretty sure if u were that suit it kills u slowly the people say is that the suit smells like a corpse yah but I think the origin owner made a demon so after his park starts doing well I think he had to do a sacrifice and wut that demon feeds off of is grief so sense Loraine had so much grief with her problems and I think she hates herself and her son to the point she will try to kill him cause when she did he let go and she still pushed down and to hid that she killed her son she ate him cause she said i didn't want to be the witch I am the which aren't I and then she reported to the police station were her husband died and all the kids were murdered at
You know the monster that was talked to her and gave her the ice pick? She is the monster, it is part of her mind, the witch. She was insane. She was at the hospital for treatment, but it did not help because of her past traumas. Her first truama was when her father took her from her mother. She was raised by her father, which her mother hated. Her mother told herself that Loraine ran away with her father, meaning Loraine's mother abandoned her. She met a guy and fell in love, she got pregnant. Her husband died. The husband forgot to rewrite his will, so it all went to his greedy parents. She was left into debt with a boy. She took pills and started to drink. She abused her son, Callem. Then after so much of her sanity left her, she killed Callem. Then went to the police, because she knew she had to, but she is fully broken. The detective is trying to peice it all together.
By itself, a very good analyse . . . but alas, nope. I sh*t you not my friends, as I made some research about this game afterwards ; and I couldn't believe it :
All that happened during the game... is actually _VERY SERIOUS_ , and _VERY REAL_ for our characters ! it wasn't a mental breakdown, or depression that catched up our protagonist... but true dark energy overflowing Lorraine, as she entered this park, built upon an occult land, who long before served as a paganian ritualistic site for a sorcerer : Archibald Henderson. The man that created this park was himself slowly devoured by this energy and became a Cryptid known as a "boogey man", the horrendous Mr Loyal that followed Lorraine during all the story.
Why the f**k am I affirming that... ? Because this game is actually a spin-off for an other game, a prequal for "The Secret World" : an MMO-RPG from mid 2012 that, from the informations I could gather, greatly missed the spot on release and went down pretty quickly afterwards, unknown by many, myself included... The core concept of the game was pretty much the following : _you are a member of one of three Factions ( The Templars, the Dragons, or the freakin' Illuminati ) and were trained to face cryptids, demons, occult entities and forgotten gods that are part of the secret world : the realm of all nightmares and fears of mankind. As the world slowly crumble under the rising evil and the awakening of Lovecraftian abominations ( earlier in game was named the Innsmouth Accademy, I let you imagine how far it went ), you and your organisation must lead a crusade to bring balance back in your world_
Lorraine was one of the recurrent character of this MMO-RPG, and you could see what happened to her afterwards... Oh ! And the weird bee in a jar at the end... ? That sh*t is actually a cryptid, and it's going to be implented in her shortly afterward for scientific purpose. Long story short : her fate is f**cked from the beginning to the end. And the kid was really killed by her mother.
I know. . . . . . . *_WTF !?_* The most surprising part for me, is that apparently it had a "slight reboot" in 2017 under the name "The Secret World Legends".
Did anyone else notice the axe on her necklace?
She was the woodsman, who abandoned her child.

So did the kids ( ya know when he put em on the slab and tickled em)
Baby is overcooked
Your pfp and name scares me lol
Get away from my bed. You were under it for *2 fricking years.*
Okay so here's my theory:
Short Summary before I begin: Lorraine did NOT kill Callum, Callum infact was killed by Chad (my theory for why is below)
There is Lorraine, a woman who works in a diner and meets a man named Don, soon after beginning a romantic relationship with him she becomes pregnant with Callum. After becoming pregnant with Callum, Don who works at the Atlantic Island Park has his safety harness tampered with by Chad the Chipmunk and this ends with Don falling to his death from the top of the Ferris wheel. Lorraine becomes very upset and soon slips into depression. A few years after Callum is born she begins to take him to Atlantic Island Park. One day when she takes him, he disappears. He wanders into the house of horrors (which explains why she said he went into "the mouth of the witch") and is soon discovered by Chad the Chipmunk whom murders him and dismembers his body behind the Cotton Candy Machine (which explains the newspaper article). After he is found, No one is quite sure whom did it. Lorraine unable to cope falls even deeper into depression and ends up in a psychiatric ward where she faces electro shock treatment. After getting out she soon begins to wander back to the park thinking Callum is not dead and she tells the police he is missing (which explains the detective asking her where she last saw him). At the end, When she runs into the room and Chad is behind her it symbolizes her not knowing he caused her sons death and The monster holding her hands guiding her, was her depression. She blames herself for his death.
Why do I think Chad did it? Numerous times during the story Chad was referenced to. Now if Lorraine was the killer (in my opinion) Chad would have absolutely NO reason to be there except for cheap jump scares. I think he was the killer though. If you read most of the notes during the game some referenced Chad to being very violent and/or creepy. Such as going nuts, stabbing two kids with an ICE PICK (which Lorraine was holding at the end, which again symbolizes him being the killer and her blaming herself), Acting weird around Co-Workers, and even living in his costume. Which is why it makes sense to me that mother loses child in the park, Crazy guy finds child, Murders child, and dismembers him, Mother is unable to cope, falls to depression, and blames herself.
Now I may not be right but this is my theory, Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for reading.
this was very well thought out and out of everyone's opinions/theories, i have to agree with yours
I enjoyed reading this, but I personally think it's wrong. The letters said that Don died 3 months into her pregnancy and she started electro shock therapy soon after. And it also said that the body that was behind the Cotton Candy booth wasn't Callum because he was alive during that time. Chad was there for back story and to give some insight into the horrors at the park. I think you are right about the monster being her depression and her blaming him for her son's death. But I think she killed him mostly because of her depression and the overwhelming pressures of being a single mother and being outcasted by her family. She killed him with the ice pick because she was lost in her mind and killed herself by hanging. That's what I think anyways...
she didn't kill herself through hanging, depression can cause suicidal thoughts and acts of self harm (reason for the slices on her arm earlier). She is alive when speaking to the detective.
4T3hM4kr0n! Look at the part around 18:00 and look at the body in the middle. It's wearing the same clothes as Lorraine.
Hmm i think your theory is better than the one where she killed callum herself, but i have to agree with sophia c. one some points. But i think what you both said can be combined: i do think that she lost callum in the amusement park. I think she hated coming there because her husband died there and blames callum for it, explaining the narratives where it sounds like she regrets having him. I think its plausible that that Chad guy killed him (explaining the icepick and all), but another possibility is is that she lost Callum there somewhere and she tries to come up with explanations for what might have happened to him (not necessarily meaning that he's dead). The only thing that keeps me from choosing your side is that she keeps saying 'no dont make me watch/see it again' or something when shes in the haunted house and theres blood everywhere (could also be for the horror-factor but still). that makes it sound like she guilty of something (but maybe just for neglecting him because of her depression). I don't know yet i'm gonna read more theories haha
Whenever Mark commented on the babies being in weird places made me crack up even though it was supposed to be scary
Me too
Dominic Bounds There's a sequel?
Loki Fan same
I love loki too
Same here
My theory:
The mother got depressed after her Boyfriend Don died. She still wanted to take care of Callum, for example she went to the amusement park with him and stuff like that. "Callum loves this amusement park"
When they went in the horror house of the witch, Callum was one of the dozen Childs who got lost. He was a victim by Chad.
The Mother, who actually loved her son went crazy. She thought it was her own fault and that she killed her. (look at the scene where she murders him, Chad is in the background and the witch is helping her)
Deep in her Heart she knows it's not her fault and that Chad was it. But her mind tells her she is the witch. The evil one who killed her son.
The trip through the park shows her dark mind. She is chasing after the truth. From a nice boy, Callum starts to say things like "don't look at me" or "don't touch me". That's not real. Her mind tells her to make her believe as if she was the person who killed him.
When going downstairs in the horror house we always come back to their house. We see how they both lived and whenever you got through a door, you go depper down. Deeper down in her mind, deeper down to see what she feels. When looking at the different things you can see how she got unstable.
The baby dolls hanging everwhere represent Callum. She hanged them, he's dead. She put them to bed, she put him asleep.
Everything represents Callum. The rubixcube who was maybe Callum's Toy, his hat.
The mother wasn't looking for the teddy. She was looking for the truth. She was trying to escape her dark mind.
After seeing the dead body, she saw an illusion of chad behind her. "He watches you" Callum said. He meant Chad. Chad was watching us. Of course not in reality, but in her mind.
"The Park" is the story of a mother, who lost her son. She is going to the darkest time to find out who killed him, even if her mind is tricking her.
That's the theory i think of.
Have u played this game before if she killed him many the witch was possessing the mother and the Sun so maybe that's why she killed her son because the witch was a real story and he was trying to escape her dark mind and the witch possessed her and she tried to fight it but she couldn't but I hope her son forgives her 😥😥😥😥😥😓😓😓😓😓😨😨😨😨😨😨😩😩😰😰😱😱😧

As far as I can tell:
The Winter guy found a legend of a piece of land with particularly strong supernatural powers. A man once tried using negative emotion to power... something, this attracted enough attention, and he was driven out. So, Winter purchased the land to power the... thing, but knew that using negative emotion would attract unwanted attention. So, though it created less "power", he took the safer route of using positive energy instead. The power did, however, have side effects visible in the park. There's Chad, the many cases of accidents, the missing children (possibly Winter creating negative energy to go along with the positive?). Eventually, the side effects were too obvious, and the park was shut down before he accomplished his goal. So, he hid himself away in the House of Horrors, with the... thing he was powering, planning to one day achieve his dream. More on him later.
Don and Lorraine had circumstances just like the story said. They fell in love, conceived a child, and Don died. Lorraine tried to be a good mother, but with the "whole world against her" (her mother refusing to help, Don's will not going to her, the price of medical procedures very high) she couldn't cope, and she ultimately snapped. She became abusive, beating Callum (possibly with the wrench you see). Callum grew up constantly fearful of her, but she never saw any of this in her mind. To her, she wasn't beating him, Callum wasn't fearful of her, and most of all, Callum was not growing up. But he was. Without a good mother, he got in with a rough crowd when he was older, and they snuck into the old abandoned Theme Park nearby. They were jacking around in the House of Horrors, and Winter heard them. He took Callum, and killed him in his desperation to power his machine. That's what the thing with Callum on the slab was: although she didn't do it, she felt responsible. Hence Winter (transformed into a Bogeyman-like creature from the machine) being there, helping her kill Callum. Even though she didn't cause the death alone, she felt primarily responsible.
Nice work - very accurate too! The only thing you need to account for is the fact that the positive emotion used to power the machines had to be literally siphoned from the guests - hence why everyone walked away feeling really creeped out, and why Chad and Lorraine started cracking up the moment they set foot on the grounds; they didn't have much positive emotion to begin with, so the siphoning process just peeled away all the layers between their conscious minds and the parts of themselves they'd rather not acknowledge - hence why Lorraine starts off being all sunshine and light and degenerates into a downward spiral of self-loathing, anger and paranoia.
Not that she's any happier once she leaves the Park - or during the thirty years that follow.
Leighton Petty, i think winter IS that weird slimer looking dude.
Leighton Petty lo 0guest comment I ever read
Leighton Petty I think it was more that winter showed her the way, but she did it herself. She killed him, he did not (in her mind). She regrets that child

Going to mention something I haven't seen anyone else say.
I think Lorraine dealt with depression and schizophrenia, possibly due in part to her up bringing. Lorraine's mother mentions that her daughter became more like her father as she grew up, and we know her father was an alcoholic from what Lorraine says.
Don's death sends her into a depressive spiral, and she's treated for that with electroshock and medications. Of course, the electroshock is torture for her, so she fakes being better to escape.
She tries to keep up the facade and raise Calum, doing what everyone expects of her, but her mental state worsens under the stress, though it's not visible outwardly because she's hiding it so well. Things get worse, she begins to project her resentment onto Calum, thinking that the darkness from the park is turning him. She takes him there, and kills him, having seen the deaths there and working out that it would be the best way to do away with him, what's another death at the spooky park?
I believe that there were dark energies there, that Henderson/Winter made it a shit show of weird ass monsters and demons, and that this darkness used Lorraine'mental instability to claim another victim. She killed her son at the behest of the boogeyman, who was the manifestation of her hatred for her child. She can't face this hatred, and I think that's why it always appears just out of sight, or behind her.
In the end of the game, Lorraine is in the police station, covering her tracks. The park has a reputation for missing children, it's the perfect cover. But I think that at the end, she feels remorse for what she's done. That's just my take!
Well done: pretty accurate as far as theories go. Only one thing, Lorraine isn't covering her tracks. That remorse business - it's even worse than you think: she's turning herself in. Chances are, she would have committed suicide in her cell... if she hadn't ended up getting press-ganged.
The Secret World, now she is immortal
Alexandra Hawke It kinda looked like she was smiling at the end though.
Dominic Bounds The edges of her lips are curled upward slightly, that’s a smile. At least in this universe it is.
That's what I saw too
Interesting fact (that no one will read): electroshock therapy is still used occasionally, as a very last resort for treatment-resistant depression. However, now it is done under full, general anesthesia, so it’s not the unethical procedure we see in movies/games, where the patient is conscious.
I've read it,and that's absolutely correct. One of my friends has electroshock therapy done since nothing else worked for them. And it's obviously painless,you just wake up hazy.
The voltage is lower too, isn't it?
As the park shut in 1980, I am assuming the therapy took place around this time
My dad is a psychiatrist, and he often treats patients using Electro-Convulsive Therapy. I always get irritated whenever I see it portrayed as this horrible, scary torture device, since all those portrayals do in reality is scare people away with an ugly falsified image. The scene with Lorraine being strapped to a table and zapped all over the body is pure fiction. In reality, the patient is asleep, and the electricity delivered isn’t even strong enough to make you feel a tingle if you were to touch it. The electricity is delivered through several hair-thin wires that are gently attached to various parts of the head, and the small electrical waves delivered will stimulate parts of the brain in helpful ways. For example, if the patient was severely depressed, the wires would deliver small bits of energy to the part of the brain that secretes endorphins (pheromones that make you happy), kicking it into gear and causing it to make more endorphins to counteract the depression. And that’s just one example of the hundreds of uses ECT has. It is a procedure that has helped thousands of people, and my dad literally has boxes and boxes full of tearful thank you letters and gifts that treated patients have given him over the years. So no. It isn’t the torture you saw portrayed in the game. Sorry if I went on a bit too long, I just hope that I cleared up some misconceptions or confusions about the procedure to anyone who reads this. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.☺☺

That is the chisel is the one that chad used to kill the teenagers when was making the ice sculpture. Watch the first video. She killed calum with it
Jennifer Tinkham you make no sense... She didn’t kill callum in fact CHAD killed callum. We know that because of the “Cotton Candy incident” she was forced into stabbing him
Really shirlock
She actually ate him
@@thatonekokichikinnie9476
I disagree because at 22:32 Chad released his hands and the mother continued on and stabbed Calum BY HERSELF. Re-watch this part to see what I mean. ;)
WTF! That was F**ked up!
She didn't actually kill her son. She abused him and that's why he had bruises and finger marks on him. When he ran way to Atlantic Island park to get away from his mom, Chad the chipmunk killed him with an ice pick. That's why she feels so guilty; it's as if she put the ice pick in her son herself. That's why the chipmunk was even important in this game. It's pretty obvious
Actually it's not obvious so don't be a douche. *THAT* is obvious from the comments here. And since it's from her twisted point of view, and she believes her actions are at fault for what led to the current result, then it's rather reasonable that other viewers would associate her as the guilty party. But I think your explanation has a very high likelihood.
@elementneon, I wasn't trying to be a douche, I just felt that it was obvious to me because they stressed the point of Chad killing people in this park and using an ice pick multiple times. If she was the one who killed her son, Chad would seem kind of pointless in this story. Also, you can see an ice pick in the babies eyes in Loraine's apartment just like what happened to the boy in the report. Maybe what I meant rather than obvious, was once you understand these few points, THEN it becomes obvious.
Bookworm
No worries man. Ultimately, even though I keep wavering back and forth, I agree that the most comprehensive theories include Chad as the boy's likely killer. Though if the mom did snap due to the dark forces, combined with her own negative energies, along with her post electro-shocked brain I could see possible explanations for that as well. For instance I find it strange that the neighbor friend listed on her mental hospital release form whom was supposed to be watching Callum (Norma Creed) is also coincidentally the name of the witness who gave the police report when Steve attacked the kid with the ice pick during park hours. It could be that her neighbor always spoke about it, and her broken post-electro-shock brain grasped onto these recent memories to build her distorted happy space with the suppressed memories while she was being questioned by the police.
The only part about this that confused me was the fact that, if she abused her son, why would she be questioning where he got the fingerprints and bruises? But then I realized, if she was taking pills and drinking, it could be she didn't *remember* abusing Callum. (Of course, she could have been lying to herself, acting like she didn't know, but it could be more heartbreaking if she actually didn't know she was harming him and didn't want to think she could be the one harming her child).
Something dark and sinister has indeed changed Callum, Lorraine. Too bad you can't realize that it was yourself.
TheTeenageSpectrum Exactly
Did anyone else watch the first episode while she was walking into the park and go "Check the car. Didn't you leave him in the car?"
Also, the man in the beginning told her that Callum ran into the park and that he would "Unlock the gate" but I was kinda of confused.
If he had to unlock the gate, the gate would've had to have been locked. But. if the gate was locked, how did Callum get in?
PLOT TWIST: He was in the car the whole time. lol.
Ikr lmao like why wouldn't you check the car first? 😅
right?? That's Exactly what I thought!
Same, if the gates were locked the boy was in the car. she leaves, goes crazy, son gets kidnapped form the car and killed. Kinda crap if I do say so myself
There was no car to check. There was no real park. She was in the police station the entire time, but the park is supposed to be her happy place she goes to when they question her about her missing son.
Her very first and very last statement: "In my heart and mind I always return to Atlantic Island Park." I interpret that to mean that whenever she's forced to think about what happened or is questioned about it, her mind goes there to try to block out the actual disgusting events. Happy I guess isn't the right term since she's never really known much happiness; and I suppose safe space definitely isn't the right word... Maybe her rock. The place was intended to be happy, drawing on the supernatural *positive* energy, as opposed to Old Man Henderson's attempt at gathering negative energy. The happiness and laughter was there, it just also happened to be drained out of the people there, leaving them feeling "dour" and still contending with the residual negative spirit energy previously gathered at the location.
So this game is an off shoot from another called Secret World. The motheris a test subject behind nasty experiment, Callum was taken by people and then killed, the park is a real place just not in this game. Also boogyman = Mr. Winters. To bad this is just a few years to late, wish he could see this so it could clear somethings up.
I'm glad someone clarified this because I did some research and saw that was the case but it doesn't seem like anyone remembers it
No mother has split personality and she was abusing her child but we still don’t know what about the whole story of this mentally ill mother.
@@ShantiDoss2000 No it isn't. The Story is Much More Fleshed out in The Secret World(/It's Free to play Reboot Secret World Legends). In TSW there used to be a whole quest dedicated to Loraine after the park but that hasn't been ported/is unplayable now (you can still find yt vids of it)
If Callum was killed by other people why would the mother have a hallucination of the top hat man persuading her to kill her son?
@@amberdeyuliis7886 she feels guilty perhaps.
*Everyone is hiding in the comments while I'm just looking for theories*
Same. I think the ending is kinda messed up but this is deep..
Same here
snowydays same here
Here’s one, she is suffering from a mental illness. In the last episode callum went from answering her to ignoring her and in this one she is straight up refusing her calls to come back. She also in the last episode goes from threatening to abandon him to gently asking him to come out and help her. My thoughts are that she suffers from bipolar disorder and has a split personality. Because the way callum talks it sounds like she is abusing him. He even says “Don’t touch me again!” Implying that she has abused him before. She blames callum for the suicide of her boyfriend off of the Ferris wheel (his suicide was mentioned twice in the last episode, once by the mom and the second by the incident report. She also notably hates this theme park and says it’s callum’s favorite park, implying that she is saying that callum likes this tragedy and is therefore bad

I've seen a couple play-throughs of this now, and this is just my personal theory. But...
Lorraine was never a completely mentally healthy person. With difficult family life between her mother and father, and her father essentially kidnapping her to avoid losing custody of her, she must have grown up emotionally challenged. When she met Don and fell in love, then got pregnant, she thought she finally had everything.
But pregnancy isn't what it's cracked up to be. After Callum was born, she suffered from postpartum depression. Hard. When she talks about how she didn't feel any immediate love for the squalling, screaming thing that came out of her, that's the clearest indicator there could be for that. And instead of having the time to heal and grow and move past that particular form of depression, Don dies and she is left in financial desperation with a child and no mental capacity to care for herself or another human being.
The things that happened in that park I believe are constructs of her mind. Mr. Winter - the creepy guy with the long, long finger, is a mental personification of what drove her to kill her son. She is consumed by the guilt of what she's done. This game is a story of awful circumstances and tragedy.
I think you're right
I completely agree here. I've seen a couple streams of this game and now two other playthroughs and this is the exact same theory I thought as a conclusion. Immediately on the first time I saw it played, my mind pointed to postpartum depression and now all of the other puzzle pieces fit into place.
A little of both. Having played The Secret World, the creepy guy (The Bogeyman) is in fact real throughout. He uses manipulations of the rides and twisted illusions to break people down.
Actually, everything you saw is real. This is a prequel to The Secret World, an MMO where all the "urban legends" and "huge myths" like Chupacabra and Vampires to Cthulu and The Illuminati all exist. There's a part of the game where you go to this park and free the trapped souls of the children in the House of Horrors, then kill the bogeyman, after learning all the occult stuff that went down there. Of course, first you have to go to the "Nightmare World", which is pretty much Silent Hill in a nutshell, but anybody can go and only the mentally ill suffer severe... side effects, like Lorraine did. In fact, the second-to-last part of this game, Lorraine killing her child, is likely the bogeyman controlling her without her being aware or something (I dunno, I looked it up, never played the game, I'm going off of word-of-mouth at this point, with some facts I picked up).
Long story short, this links the two: www.thesecretworld.com/news/pre_order_the_park_at_23_off
Ooh! Very good theory👏🏻
I liked this game! It was more of a psychological thriller than your classic "jump scare, shoot zombies, solve puzzles" kind of game. (Although yes, we did see some jump scares in there too, or course). The game seemed to have a very linear path (follow Callum).
I praise the writers. The characters at first seem very generic, but as you go through the story, you get to feel like you're really getting to know them on a more personal level (at least the mom, anyway). The story is definitely what I would call a "tragedy," in that it has a sad ending. The scariest part of the game for me had to be when she was walking through her own house repeatedly at the end. Each time you go through the house, it is as though time is passing by, and you see indications that things for this family have gone from bad to worse.
The ending is ambiguous, so it is kind of hard to tell exactly what happened. The simplest interpretation for me is that the mom finally lost it and killed her child. Other endings could be thought out, but that's the best that I know.
Edit: Ayyy... just read about The Secret World and The Seven Silences... This game is certainly a part of a bigger story...
More games to scare me I presume?
Just to clear a few things up: The Park is actually a spinoff of the MMORPG 'The Secret World'. I've never played, but I can confirm that the park is indeed real - as are the beings you encounter within it.
Can you go into more detail about this?
Is the other game difficult,
to find,
cuz I would like to play it.
@@mialynette2729 Actually, as someone who has played that game since early access, I should tell you in advance that the park isn't a huge part of the game and isn't even part of the beginning. It's free and on Steam now, though I can't say I approve of how they've changed it over time. It used to be an amazing game, but they kinda ruined it.
Okay so where’s the park
What this looks game looks like for me
Callum: "Find me mommy"
Mom: "this isn't a game anymore, come back here"
A few mins later
Callum: "Hes watching you"
mom: "Lemme just ride these rides tho."
few mins later
Callum: "HELP"
mom: "jeez be patient lemme read these notes >:(("
The notes and whatnot are things he lead her to, a trail of bread crumbs left to guide her to the truth of what had happened and what was happening at the park.
The Bogeyman (one o for some reason), formerly known as Nathaniel Winter, normally wouldn't target them given that they're so filled with negative energy, but like he said.. the park/he was just too hungry not to. So he feeds on their negative emotions rather than trying to create positive ones to drain. The end result of someone dying remained the same though.
True
the booth guy, it's the cop. why he is there is because that's where her heart and mind went, and thats when he asked the question. The very beginning and ending questions are very similar. But that's just my theory, my non copyrighted electronic interactive pasttime theory! Aaand, slice!
Dominic Bounds sheeet. I was confused at the part when you said when he was born, and when the park was closed, and what you said his age should be. I kinda brainfarted there. But, I dont understand where you thought the interrogation room scene would be in her head. Could you clarify?
Dominic Bounds Ohhhhh okay, I understand now
Dominic Bounds um, no, I dont have an opinion on it, I have no clue why it is there.
Maybe the cop is a figment of the hallucinations and is supposed to be her boyfeiend
she killed her son, but couldn't handle it.
likewise for the death of her husband, she blamed the park for her loss (son).
All those 'evil spirits' (the depression) took hold of her since her husband died in the park.
the ending scene is the beginning of the game.
She supplanted the events and thought her son is lost. By trying to think back she relives the actual game ... what happened in her mind. (a twisted version)
by ending scene I referred to the police officer
She's not crazy....not entirely at least, the spirits are real.
She was crazy, but since this takes place within the game "The Secret World," then those spirits (The Bogeyman) are very real.
The "game" is her imagination and what her mind's reasoning for killing him is.
+Ty Lightner Actually she's an NPC from the MMO The Secret World. In the game, all supernatural forces are real, including the Boogeyman.

Callum was one of the dozen kids that went missing, now she's just retracing her steps
I mean when the park was actually OPEN it makes sense seeing how she keeps saying she had been there before and at the end the cop says tell me the last time you saw him but the time frame is never said so we can ASUME he was one of the victims it makes the most sense
The timeline has been stated: Atlantic Island Park was opened on 1978, and closed in 1980. Callum was born on the day it opened, and he's clearly *not* two years old during the events of the game.
Plus, artifacts found inside the park reveals that the story takes place well into the eighties: there's a bit of graffiti reading "Carrie Killian is the devil's whore" - Carrie Killian was known and hated throughout Solomon Island during the 1980s and no earlier. Winter's notes conclude with entries taken from the 1980s, given that they already mention the park's permanent closure. Plus, outside the park, you can find a note written by William Dexter on behalf of the League of Monster Slayers: the league wasn't created until 1983.
So, sorry, but it looks as though Callum wasn't one of the original kids who went missing.
Well in that case i guess we can just agree to disagree on the theory but we can agree that the mother clearly is suffering from the loss of him
And always will be. Thirty years onwards, she's still killing herself because of it - not figuratively, *literally* - as in, she has literally committed suicide but woke up alive afterwards.
Oh, and another thing that makes it that much more disturbing. The note outside the park actually states that people taken by the Bogeyman fade from human memory, the only exceptions being those of children, the killer responsible, and a few of the Secret Worlders: in other words, in the final scene of this game, Lorraine is trying to hand herself over to the police... and nobody's going to know what the hell she's talking about, because as far as the rest of the world's concerned, Callum never existed. She wants to be punished for what she's done, but she can't, and because the Bogeyman made her play a part, she doesn't even have the luxury of forgetting.

Just in case anyone is rewatching this and still doesn't know this entire game is a Tie-in to the MMO The Secret World being a prequel to the events of that game
Oh thank you
Thank you
The Park is the sequel to a game called "The Secret World." Apparently TSW gives a little more incite on the story of the park and possibly the woman in this game. Just sayin, if anyone is curious about figuring out the plot or if Mark wants to do a Let's Play of "The Secret World" too.
So much reference that is included in the game "The Secret World". I believe the cardboard of the squirrel is the exact same look from the mmo too. I definitely know that at the end that character pushing her hand looked exactly like the dude from "The Secret World". Especially the scene when you had to ride the roller coaster of jump scare.
The secret world is an MMO. Ross Scott (Accursed Farm) did a review on it (and he even mentions The Park) a while back.
Austin, you do realize he does the some playthroughs in one go, then splits them up, right? look at his clothes, if they're the same in each video, it was one cut, all the way through, if not, multiple cuts

3:45 "Nazi vampire, or something like that?"
Soviet, actually.
I just stumbled into this video and reading people's theories.
And I got to say, I don't think most people here know that this is a game set in The Secret World universe... which makes all the theories pretty cool. But if you do know TSW, then you know what the Park is, what the Bee at the end is, and so on. You also find out what happened to Lorraine after these events.
It’s not soviet
@@katybacon7603 It looks like the Red Hand enemies from The Secret World, who are a Russian vampire group.
Oh ok I didn’t know abt that I just thought the helmet sought a looked like a nazi one
For all you still wanting to know:
the being at the end is The Bogeyman, Mr. Winter got turned into it after the parks mombojumbo. The park is just where The Bogeyman lives, it’s his territory.
Nathan The Kramp
Wellllll.........
I’m fairly certain that this was all psychological. None of the “nexus of dark energy” stuff is real. It’s the story of a broken woman, in a broken family, who ended up breaking and killing her own child. Or maybe it wasn’t her, but I’m at least 87% sure that the whole game was in her head
@@Asheslit no her kid is one of the douzen childrens lost in the house

This is a tie in game with one called The Secret world and it even has the bogeyman/witch as the main villain, i would love to see markiplier play that game cause maybe more thinks from this game would make sense
basically what I got was this. they both fell in love and then had calluim and would often go to their favorite amusement park where the dad worked. but it was a dangerous job. then the father died which led to more financial trouble because now she's a single mom. Meanwhile the park was closed down due to alot of accidents including with her lover So she has to deal with that and asks help from her mother but the mother says I can't help you because you ran away from me and stayed with your dad. So their running out of money, she still has calluim, no help at all, and she starts to go crazy because of all this happening to her. so she's put through electric shock and help. Then she keeps everything locked up in her mind and that's when she starts seeing all this stuff, and she tries to help take it away by taking all this medication and she's now hallucinating because of it. She then finds out that the lovers money and all that was left was not given to her, so she's basically left broke. And her mind starts entering this park while still being crazy and having callum. So she gets upset, and feels like she can't do it anymore. So just like Hanzel and Gretel she decides to get rid of him and the financial trouble by killing him. She then realized she's done wrong and eventually the police get involved and question her. So now in her mind she lives it out as losing him in the park to try and avoid the fact she's murdered him, and in her mind puts the police and all the characters as people from her real life. and carries regret the rest of her life. Finally trying to convince herself it was the witch from the story that took him away when in reality she was the witch.
Sounds dead on right
She said her boyfriend died when she was pregnant.
Guys, look up The Secret World MMO. The Park is a game to portray a backstory on one of the sub-plots in that MMO. And it involves the Boogeyman (yeah, just yeah) controlling the park and using it to suck off other people's joy.
+dito koent now I really feel like mark
+Kitty Chan I mean, you were correct with your analysis on the protagonist's life. But there was also supernatural occurences that influenced it all, along with direct intervention by the Boogeyman (which I admit is quite odd).
Having watched a second time I think she abandoned her son in the park. Like the kids were abandoned in Hansel & Gretel. I think she was maybe suffering postnatal depression. She had previously left her kid in the car, in her mind it was only for a moment prior. The kid kept running away & all of the babies being in dangerous situations suggest to me that she was harming her son. Maybe Chad was killing children with the ice pick. Perhaps kids were drawn to the ice sculptures like the kids were drawn to the gingerbread house in Hansle & Gretel. Either Chad killed her son (her image of herself stabbing him is her blaming herself) or she found him on the slab & killed him herself. And as for the Island I think either she's making it up in her head about the creepy stuff or there waa something going on that maybe brung the worst in people, made them cave into their dark thoughts. Perhaps that was what the dark nexus was.(I don't really get the Island bit.) Although I just remembered she supposedly had electric shock therapy she maybe she suffered with a mental illness to begin with. I'm probably wrong, it bugged me the first time I saw it & it made no sense to me so this is what I gather from it.
I also thought about mental illness but when your diagnosed with mental illness doesn't the doctors normally take away children from the beginning or give to realitives who's sane to raised the child or something.
@@missjanine3658 Maybe she was diagnosed when she was younger, way before she had a son. And so was treated. Then when she had her child probably had postnatal depression, which she didn't seek help for. And then the Island affected her, turning he resentment of raising a child alone to resenting the child himself.
Ah! yes I believe this does support the other half.
Also it could possibly half to do with why the voice said that both her and Calum are the type of 'energy' that the park didn't need or something like that?? but only few individuals such as herself have the 'key' referring to the ability to actually see and absorb the negative energy that no one else sees (mainly children) or truly possesses ( like it reveals abt her) or that they are simply too naive or just oblivious to understand the situation in front of them both irl and/or what is believed to be their imagination of a perfect world an escape? ( sorry I jotted it in the middle of the vid so I could be entirely wrong lol )
Part 1, the game begins. Part 2, the plot thickens. Part 3, everything goes to shit.
"Great Googly Moogly, it's all gone to shit!"
ALTERNATE ENDING:
Lorraine fought against Chad, and stabbed that monstrous bastard instead, thus saving Callum. Once Lorraine and Callum reconnected, they left the park forever and reported what happened to the police. They then carried on to live a happy life; a good home, and later a bigger family, including a new addition to the family; a baby girl named Emma.
ANOTHER ALTERNATE ENDING:
Lorraine stabbed herself instead, saving Callum. He grew up in the park forever, and was now treated as part of a family by Chad and the other monsters. He also became a murderer, and later committed suicide because of everything he had been through and everything he had done.

@@faults564 that’s why the guy at the front of the park knows her name
Ok so here's my speculation. Lorraine (like I said in my previous theory on ep2) has dissociative identity disorder. Here, at the end of the game, she's realizing she has an alter (which is the term for a seperate personality) So I was sort of right in my thoughts that she was both the witch and Gretel. She's coming to terms with it and, if but for a moment, realizes what she's done. Her alter, the witch, is who killed Callum. She clearly had a traumatic childhood and I think losing Don is what caused her to develop the alter. Sort of the straw that broke the camel's back, that's what really made her snap. She was left as a single mother and things quickly went downhill from there. The witch was the one abusing Callum, whereas Lorraine was basically just trying her best. So the whole journey through the park was essentially (as Mark said) a metaphor for her coming to terms with her mental illness and the fact that Callum is dead. She turned herself in, but I think in the end she still didn't really fully come to terms with the fact that Callum is gone, so it was less her turning herself in and more her still thinking she's lost her son. Which she isn't completely wrong, really. I think the deal with the park, the dark energy, etc, is really just a backdrop, a seperate story if you will. I read somewhere that there's another game or something that takes place in this same universe and has lovecraftian elements to it (which would explain why this takes place in Dunwich, and also why Callum has a cthulu shirt.)
All in all, I loved this series. I thought it was an excellent game. Although confusing I think if you take the time to piece together what you've been shown you can understand what the ending was meant to convey. Great let's play, Mark.
The Secret World is the game which shares the same world as this game.
I'm actually patching now because I had left a low level Pistols+Blade Templar toon by the name of Ned "Nedpool" Flanders toward the end of the Kingston storyline a few months back.

wut?
Link Rocks The people who actually know what's going on are getting frustrated with all these silly theories.
The Park is a Spinoff of an MMO where you play as a sort of bee-enhanced supersoldier for one of three different secret societies.
At one point you go to the Atlantic Island Park (32 years after the events of The Park), sleuth around, rescue all the souls of the children Nathaniel trapped in the Nightmare World, and then punch/stab/shoot/magic him in the face for being a such spindly sweatgoblin.
The game got mixed reviews because the gameplay is substantially different than most other MMOS and some people didn't like that. The main selling point is the really deep lore, fully voice acted cutscenes, and the fact that every NPC is either sarcastic or just unhinged from having to deal with all the weird shit that goes on around them.
Something about Lorraine's voice makes it sad when she's scared. It has the caring sound of a loving mother which makes the game even harder to go through so you don't have to hear her cry.
What if she just blames herself for callums death like her boyfriend. That was his favorite park and it was obviously a bad place. Maybe the ferris wheel carriage that flew off had callum in it and that was how he died? or he just went missing in the park in general. She keeps returning there in her mind because it's where she lost both her boyfriend and her child there. Maybe she blames herself for his disappearance because instead of refusing to go back to the place she continued to visit with her son and he ended up getting lost or killed in an accident.
jjust watch jacksepticeyes video on it. he explained everything.
Julia Lane unless he knows the developer he's just speculating like everyone else.
tboss2447 it's based on the universe of The Secret World. The story itself isn't connected to the MMO besides taking place in the same world space....
tboss2447 So, a lot of speculating like I said. lol
+jake barnes The Secret World actually has a Halloween mission that continues The Park's story. The story itself is connected to the first couple areas. It helps allow you to better understand the park and the boogyman connection.
Alot of HP Lovecraft references in this, Innsmouth, Dunwich, Cthulu
Looks like the evil park manipulated her and her family the whole way through for maximum misery
Also getting strong silent hill vibes from the beginning and ending there
OOh didn't know there was a sequel/tie-in, I'll check that out, thanks!
Any idea what the sequel is called, I couldn't find out, wikipedia just says The Park was based in the same universe as 'The Secret World' which I really didn't expect
Ah ok then, thanks for that, always found the secret world interesting but was kind of put off by thew huge MMO aspect of it, it is cool to see spinoff games for it though because alot of the story looked really interesting

I think she's lost the plot and gone mad, she's killed her son and keeps looking and telling herself that he's running away so she doesn't live with the agony and regret of killing him.
I believe that too.
Mark missed alot of stuff but her son was murdered and she never got over the grief and agony.
XD That's not right, I read the description of the game. it seid "This game is a item with many different topics!, Horror, Search and destroy ect! So the settings is a Park! Someone lost there son Calum and the Mom is trying to find him.
Oh sorry, I didn't make it to the end.
I think the writers are hacks and acted like they were way more clever than they are
After all these years I still love this game. The perfect creep factor with minimal jump scares to make it terrifying. I feel inspired to make something similar if I ever figure out game making
Look I think she left him in the park like Hansel and Gretel and that murderer guy in the park killed him , and I think that her puting the knife in him was her feeling bad for his death because in some ways she is responsible and then she went back to the park just to never find him again
Ooh Interesting
+Ashley Thanks 😊 but honestly I have no idea
I don't think so
She's psychologist, there is no monsters and she made it all up
That monster her son talked about was her
She killed her son
And blamed it on the "monsters"
Inside her head
+I Am psychotic*
makes sense
I think she hated the park because Don died in its construction but since Callum wanted to go she took him and then lost him in the House of Horrors like the other 12+ kids that went missing. i think they never found him and it was like losing Don again to her and so she blames herself, as if she actually killed him because SHE took hime to the park.
Actually it's simpler than that.
The story is this: Everything happened exactly as you guys saw it. The trick here is that this game is a spinoff of an MMO called The Secret World where shit like that is normal for the player but everyone else is just trying to cope with shit going wrong.
The MMO takes place 32 years later, and you actually go through Atlantic Island Park and after investigating what sort of occult shitbaggery powers the place, go to the Nightmare Realm (where that last part takes place) and release all the missing children's souls followed by shooting Nathaniel in his stupid Bogeyman face.
I like your theory
just ask Game theory
just ask Game theory
just ask Game theory
She's in purgatory like the people on Lost and no matter how she tries to escape the fact that she killed her child, she keeps getting brought back to the truth of her actions.
Lost as in the series?
i totally agree, you should check out my previous comment
1:58 Given that I just learned this game is connected to some "The Secret World" MMO (basically the supernatural is real and you fight it regularly), I REALLY wouldn't be surprised if that actually *is* a werewolf-skin rug.
Here's a theory. After Don died and callum was born, she began taking him to this park, but like she said "Callum really grinds my gears" and "There bruises on him" it means that she kept abusing him because of her depression from Don dying and why she explained how hard it is to be a mother, and how they kept taking and taking and she kept getting more morbid when she explained motherhood. Callum ran into the park to get away in fear of her abusing him again, she came after him, but Chad killed him, explaining some news reports. At the end when she put the icepick into him, that symbolized that she blamed herself for Chad killing him with the ICE PICK. SHE didn't kill him, Chad did, why else would chad be there if he didn't do anything but jump scare you for no reason? She was hallucinating Chad being there, reminding her what happened, and why she kept coming back to the park, because she can't forget what happened, and maybe everything that happened in this game happens again and again in her mind every day, so she can never forget what she "did" and that's why she takes the pills and was in the psychiatric ward, on the roller coaster. The guy in the top hat well... I don't have much, but I think that's her inner demon, taunting her, and making her do things. That's all I have on this, any one else can but there theory down, but remember that CHAD killed callum, if he didn't then he would have no purpose in this game.
Iliketrainskidclone right because chad couldn't be just another charactor..
but...but it doesn't make any sense the top hat guy really doesn't do anything all he did is give her the ice pick (or icepick) then she did the rest but chad killing umm... the kid really is peculiar cause. its so hard to explain!!!! I bet nobody can solve it but the creator of the game him self (I dont know who he is) but... its really just some bad mother who killed her own child but with the help of some demons by help I mean the demons were some sort of causing it wait a minute! the the top hat guy possessed chad!! it could be possible because chad was only a normal person but the top guy did look like a demon I just discovered another theory but I could be completely wrong or just half right but I got something right I can't believe I wrote so much well time to watch another markiplier video; )
I really did write a lot of words wow!! im so proud
Dominic Bounds ..I think the horror aspect of her imagination has come from her self realisation that she was the murderer..as we come to know that she remembers the whole of this when the police asks her about Callum..
best theory............

I AM THE BOOGIE MAN!!!!!!! BE SCARED MORTALS
Tbh I think that the park is like that's where Don died so her mind always goes back to the park since that's the last place he was alive. And her depression and hatred for calum (I forgot how to spell it) is the "witch" of the park. so basically she's trying to fight the "witch" to stop herself from hurting her son that's why she was so bipolar with saying stuff like, "I'm so sorry!" or "that little fuck owes me everything." because its two sides of her. one wanting have her son and love him but the other side wanting him dead. So I think she killed her son and she always relives it in her mind at the park with the "witch" and that she was never really at the park she just goes back there since that was the place Don died and Calums favorite place.
that sounds like a pretty darn good theory ! :)
The one problem is that you need to factor in the world this takes place in to make an effective theory. This takes place in "The Secret World" where zombies, monsters, ghosts, etc. are all very much real, and the events in this game can very well happen in said world.

+Akari Enderwolf yeah I understand and that's very true. Its just that's how my mind understood it that's all ^-^

Can anyone else not see a single letter on the notes
I’m anyone else
Guys, i think everyone is seriously avoiding the main moral to this story...
*NEVER OVERCOOK A BABY!*
You can't over cook a baby if you don't cook one at all. 🤔
lol yep
Yasmin Lane what?
nope!
That is killing a baby shut you ass off
I'm pretty sure that she had postpartum depression, which is why she had that doctor's note and they gave Callum back to her. They didn't consider her a threat to her son anymore, but as he grew up, she fell back into her depression and became addicted to zolift. That caused to her to care less and less for Callum. As for if she killed him or if he actually went missing/the other children went missing and were killed, I can't say for sure.
She also mixed the pills with alcohol... but thank you for saying this.
Agreed. The last book he picked up at the end is a big hint about postpartum. Just don't know how her postpartum fits in with the history of the park unless her father who kidnapped her was also the killer at the park...that would also mean she had family history of mental instability.
+MurphysLaw744 well postpartum depression isn't necessarily a heritiary thing, any woman is vulnerable to it because it happens after giving birth to a baby and there are also hints in her narration. She felt let down by him when she first held him and thought "is this it?" When I first heard that, I had a feeling that she developed postpartum. I think the park ties in because another reason she got postpartum and had to have her son taken away was because Don was dead.
This is probable true, but inaccurate. The real life drug her pills are based off of arent addictive, that's not how antidepressants- especially sertraline- aka zoloft- function at all. It takes a considerable amount of time to work, the effects are subtle since i t just corrects the chemical balances in the brain, it has no high, or pain relief or other effects.
I think she might have actually *stopped* taking them, and the surplus of bottles we see are actually the failed reminders of what she desperately needed but wasn't following through with.
That's a lie. The Park is a spinoff from The Secret World designed to flesh out one of their questing locations.
Basically everything that happened in The Park was actually happening. The part with the ice pick is the only scene open to interpretation. We never see her stab Callum, we just see Nathaniel forcing her to put the ice pick over her son's heart.
I choose to interpret this as her finally giving up on getting her son back, because Nathaniel spirited her son away to the Nightmare Realm to fuel his immortality. In TSW (which takes place 32 years later) you actually go in and rescue all the children's souls and kill that Horrifying Haberdasher.
You never realize how much you need and love someone until they're gone. That's the message I get from this game.
Mom: Good night kids hoped you liked the bedtime story!
Kid: WTF MOM!!??
HAHAHAHA
Your sus!
You can't do that thoooo
Did anyone else notice how when markiplier first entered the house of horrors, the Chad cut out looked at him?
I did 😂🙋 I screamed "MARK, HOW DID YOU NOT SEE THAT?"
It didn't look at him, it has the same design on its back as the front.
I could be wrong, but I thought it was a double sided cardboard cut out.
every time he looked at it the cut out was starring at him
SilencedSkies is correct. It was simply double sided. The reflection off the black eyes gives the illusion of the eyes following you. A well known optic illusion used in paintings.
This reminded me of a more mature version of coraline.
I was thinking that too
Witch most definetly triggered my coraline senses
ooh! cool observation!
OMMG so true
Omg it does
Somehow Mark can take something terrifying and serious and make me laugh. Love you, Mark!!!!!
also why was she given back Callum? the locals knew that she wasn't well mentally. also I think she did kill Callum but was maybe possessed/influenced by the Dark nexus if it is real.
there should be a animation where mark observes all the babys hope a animator sees this lol
yes
5:02 😐 Did he just dab?
+Oliver Grindrod HE DID
Oh my, just chilling alone at 3:23 AM deciding to watch Mark, and now re thinking why I'm watching this video at this time. Will I sleep, I don't think so...
It would be really funny if you did, hopefully somebody will send it
Spoilers:
I don't think she killed her son, I believe that he was one the children that went missing and that she blamed herself for "killing" him. It makes sense, depressed people tend to blame themselves for things they didn't do. I know that from experience, and I don't believe her stress made her snap and kill her own son. I just think that she didn't look after him as closely as she should have while at the park and he got lost and never found again. Therefore, she would think it was her fault from the beginning. The whole murdering of her son was just a dramatization inside her head that didn't actually happen.
Also, this game just makes me sad instead of scared.
I agree with you on this, I thought about it when in an earlier episode when he was reading the missing children notes. I thought it was a sign saying that her son was missing.
Yes she is chasing him too and saying "don't leave me alone" she also mentions she visits the park from time to time. Maybe to search for her son who's gone missing and whom never showed up.
yeah exactly ! Peeps, get this comment higher up.
And mixed drugs with alcohol to cope with the pain. This seems like a theory with fewer pigeonholes.
That could be true, but I think her son is like a "crying child" from fnaf but it's more of "the missing child" or something like that and she's blaming herself about the whole disappearance of him she suicided and now she keeps going back into the park trying to find her son or something like that...just me thinking nonsense 😅
HERE'S MY THEORY:
Oh! Baby turned into Zolift and then started this all...
You're silly.
When you walked into the first room the Chad poster was staring at you as you moved
TrashAss FortniteFag I saw it to he would of made a good joke if mark relized
I didn't realise
It wasn't a poster, it was actually Chad standing there.

When
Looks in fridge.
*raw chicken on plate, out of package & exposed*
Mark: Everything looks normal.
Bruh
that scene gave me flashbacks to DHMIS tbh
Canabalism is the best! Not!
OKAY SO HERE WE GO. Last part of "The Park". I watched the first two parts in the dark with both headphones on in my bed. Oh, did I also mention that it's storming outside? No joke. Finally at part three and I am still (an idiot) wearing both headphones in my dimly lit bedroom while a storm rages outside. Trying not to crap myself. I have a strong feeling I might.
My lights stopped working O__O
Same here
Except for the storm
Aeuouae Means Nothing Omg Same! 😂😂😂👌
sp00k
Dunno if anyone will read this since this came out years ago. But this game is a spinoff from the MMO "The Secret World" currently known as "Secret World Legends" on steam. That MMO is jam packed with awesome world building and story elements. You definitely get a LOT more backstory on the park in that game if anyone is curious. You also go to other places mentioned in this game such as "Innsmouth University." It's free to play and all of this takes place in pretty much the starting area of the game. So I highly recommend checking it out. It's definitely a unique MMO experience.
bookworm had it right, she abused him for her troubles, and he ran away from her to the park, and that was were her son went "missing". i bet that chipmunk did it
Dragon Noodle Soup no Steve
mark's reaction to completeing the game "whaaa? i ddduuhh"
No Shit Sherlock
+Dale Proud ...don't
+Dale Proud you make me cringe...

For anybody wondering, The Park is a spinoff of a game called The Secret World, and that creature we see is a character that appears - the Boogeyman - and he appears in the game at, as you guessed, the same park.
The Eternal Shade I remember blasting him with dual pistols, good times.
The "bad guy" Or Mr White I think reminds me of Bobinsk from coralline ;-;
yea!
light to real same!
Same, I was trying to figure out where I seen him.
I thought it looked kinda like the babadook but yours is better
anyone realize that in the beginning of the episode chad was looking at mark and turning around?
Cj Sypher no it didnt
It’s double sided as u can see the stand that keeps it up is still on the same side!
Deku! Love ur photo! It’s awesome! I love my hero academia
Also, did u see the triangle stand? No you didn’t! Ha!
