Great video, I didn't see 2 endings, however, I was surprised not to see you flushing the watch in the toilet, in the very end, in the empty flat, and just leaving the apartment.
I never really thought about this at the time but the "neighbors" could represents the two potential futures of the husband. One is where the child is born and the family lives with the child in the apartment. And the other is the apartment that is never rented out a symbol that the relationship between the husband and wife could never work and that living together and making a life together for the future was impossible.
Groundhog ending really felt like that one day where you went to school and did that one exam perfectly just to wake up and realise it was all a dream.
So is the whole game happening inside the protagonist head after the hypnosis room with his dad? There is no time loop chananigans, it's just a illusion in his head trying to cope with the traumas and imagining a world that, if he killed the disapproving father he could stay together with her. What he says "I wish I could go back and take it back", it is not about the murder he never committed, is about accepting the hypnosis. The pos credit scene shows him moving to the apartment but all alone. The game is him imagining a world where he could be happy, but not even his mind allows it. Damn.
@@AYAYA_JUICER You are seeing this in a linear form. They made this story for a game format because you can only solve the real last puzzle when you see all the endings. Which is to remember the real story through the pieces from the fake story he made to himself. Why would they leave the explanation for the time loops out? "We wrote time loop because it would be cool." If your version is right, the game lose the structure it barely has. That's why the loop doesn't end even in the happy "ending".
Watch the pos credit scene, where the apartment is all empty. My theory makes sense with that, he is all alone moving to that apartment, search for it and watch it. Read my first comment again (the one you replied). See if I explained it better, I edited because English is not my first language.
Hello dear sir I watched the game, saw your comment yet still didn’t get the whole picture. So the cop is actually the father of both the husband and the wife, and he hypnotized the husband(his son) to let the husband find the truth in order to let him leave the wife(his daughter) willingly?
So what did I do wrong?? I keep messing up, I always die when the cop comes in, he kills me every freaking time! I kill my wife, washed the blood from the knife, kept the knife, threw the knife into the toilet and flushed it one other time! Tried to kill the cop a dozen time with the knife coming from the closet! Dont matter where you try to hide, bathroom, bed room or closet he always found me! Except at every beginning of the loop you take the knife and hide quickly in the closet when your wife comes out of the bathroom! I found the phone of my wife called several times 911! The cop kills my wife because of the watch doesn't matter if I intervene, than he punches me and time loop starts again! I played almost 2 to 3 hours and seriously no freaking achievement I got except for watering the plant achievement this one I got! It doesn't matter if the cop walks in and cuffs your wife than you! If you say something twice he strangles you to death! If you are cuffed and your wife are cuffed and you try the knife to free yourself, he kills you or strangles you again Even when I hid in the closet and watched how the cop beat my wife and got the answer where the watch of here dad is hidden he still shoots my wife and kills her! When I tell the cop that I have the watch or tell him where the watch is, that bastard stil strangles me, oh yeah time loop again and again! I stabbed the cop dozen times but always I get the knock out punch and here we go again and again with the time loop! I injured him with the kitchen knife once coming out of the closet, than he pulled a gun on me and shoot me to death! So now I want to know what this video does differently by watching it! Great voice actors in this game, loved it
"...or we could destroy, endless battle again and again until we're both dead, is that what you want?" "Well... I want the achievements so, lights switch go zzzt"
@@skbnzo they are, but the couple is actually brother and sister due to their parents' shenanigans, but the wife doesn't know that, while the man was confronted by it
@@Xendrick he didn’t have to know, no one had to know…. I know incest is terribly wrong, but why did he have to be one suffering… It’s not his fault, it’s not the wife’s fault. I don’t know what is right here… Who is the right one in here. This game is a total mind fck… imma stay off the internet for now..
I think this is the first video documentation of all three rings being lined up at the end. There goes the last remaining embers of hope for an ending that explains Cop Dad.
@@clurpslurp As i pieced it myself - the actual present time characters actually live in - is in the "past", when dad is interrogating the main character. And the only real choice you are making is either to stay with your sister or to dissapear and let her be. All those scenarios in the flat meanwhile are the plot of protagonist's imagination. He is imagining what their life will be like if he chooses to stay with her and how the consequences of his decision will return at them both in the future, and if you choose to stay with her, dad indeed dies and some of those routes can actually happen. And when he is alone in empty flat is the "future present" if you choose to leave her be. Just loneliness and emptyness. I might be wrong or maybe this game doesn`t have a definitive ending and leaves it to the player's imagination, but either way the story is very sad, main character was born in the wrong family, fell in love with the wrong woman and saddest thing he isn't responsible for either of those things and is just a victim of a situation, cursed with bad ending no matter what he chooses. Also I think this game gives player a question: what will you choose, to live a happy but short life, or long but sad life. Anyway, im gonna load up some Warzone
@@Smartem_ I think you're right about everything except about the game not having a definitive ending. I agree the only real thing going on is the office scene, where the character apparently has only two options: stay with his sister, which he imagines in the events that make up the bulk of the game, or leave her, which he imagines in the Alone ending. But the hidden third choice is to forget her altogether, in the Continue and Mindfulness endings. The only difference between them is that the Mindfulness ending has the line "You do have a remarkable imagination. The stories you've created. But believing them so deeply, so strongly, is unhealthy... It's time for you to wake up." This is the key to the proper interpretation- and this ending also has no continue button. I think this is the true ending, and in it, the protagonist wakes up with no memory, and no obsession, because "It's only by forgetting that we ever really drop the thread of time, and approach the experience of living in the present moment." So _perhaps_ the game doesn't need to be _quite_ so sad as those two options.
@@Smartem_ mvp rlly putting out the paragraphs rn 💪 most ppl on google I saw had similar interpretation, I feel like the dad is putting him thru hypnosis or something to make him imagine these scenarios( given the one scene where he says to close his eyes and say things). Idk it’s rlly a cool game
the time loops are revealed to be the husband imagining a positive future with his wife and the cop is a manifestation of his father's interference. If the husband decides to accept his father's proposal to leave his sister, he enters a loop where the apartment is empty and he is alone. If the husband refuses the proposal, the scuffle repeats and he accidentally breaks his father's neck, and the loops continue to repeat. If the husband recites a book that the wife was reading during the loops, the father offers to hypnotize him to forget his sister, causing the loops to reset and begin anew. Finally, if the husband stares at the clock before he is hypnotized, the father tells him to end his imaginary future, ending all the time loops once and for all.
@@TheSenSx I don't think that would've been possible, he'd actually need to kill his father and marry his own sister without telling her that. Doesn't sound like a great ending, the game was different, he was hyotonized and didn't know she was her sister
This man literally copy pasted this from the wikipedia and changed 1 word Even the beginning of the sentence "the time loops are revealed" doesn't have capitalization because the wiki also had uncapitalized From wiki is Using the watch to reverse time, the husband returns to reality, where he is still talking with his father about falling in love with his half-sister; the time loops are revealed to be the husband imagining a positive future with his wife, and the cop is a manifestation of his father's interference. If the husband decides to accept his father's proposal to leave his half-sister, he enters a loop where the apartment is empty and he's alone. If the husband refuses the proposal, the scuffle repeats and he accidentally breaks his father's neck, and the loops continue to repeat. If the husband recites a book that the wife was reading during the loops, the father offers to help him to forget his half-sister, causing the loops to reset and begin anew. Finally, if the husband stares at the clock before choosing to forget, the father tells him to end his imaginary future, ending all the time loops, once and for all.
i will be absolutely honest: i don't get that fear. here's the thing: i'm fully conscious about the health risks of incest, at least "full" incest(both same mother and father), but in the case of what is also presented in this game, that being half siblings, the risks are extremely lower, and without considering that, then the question remains: what's to be feared? society? after all at that point it's more a matter of surnames as the genetics involved are nowhere near strong enough i presume to invoke... well, anything really. it seems to me like it is something people fear and are disgusted by due purely to it being taboo, without actually thinking about the logical reasons to why it is something to be feared of... that, or i'm missing something that to most people is -apparently- just normalcy and common sense.
@@iota-09 I was hoping someone would question that, and I'll tell you exactly why I feel that way. I have 5 half siblings, and no they're not from just one parent. My mom and dad had me, then my mom had 3 more with another dude, my dad had another 1 with another chick, then my mom came in clutch and had ANOTHER child with ANOTHER dude. My reasons are solely based on that, and though I love my siblings, who's to say there isn't any more half siblings out there that I don't know about? But of course it isn't specifically a fear of marrying a sibling, no, it's more so a distant half cousin that I never knew existed. Because of a family member's reckless decision to go out and start smashing with a bunch of people and having a bunch of kids, my options for potential intimate relationships start to dwindle real fast because they're already considered "family". But that's just me.
@@4gasm yeah i don't get that either tbh. might be because i only have a brother and while i have huge family on both sides of my parents, i've never been close to anybody in particular, and in the case of my father's side family, aside from the fact that our surname isn't common, i could have a cousin in virtually any country in the world for all i know, adding to it how my father now lives with another family whose girlfriend and son i have never even seen and feel absolutely nothing for and... yeah i don't really get it, like if i my father made a daughter with this new girl and 25 years from now i met her, if i knew she was my half-sister i'd just be "oh you're his daughter? so you know him? cool." and that's it, i don't see how or why i'd have to feel any attachment(or detachment) to that individual due to them being a relative i had no knowledge of.
But didn't we are kinda related in the beginning? I mean following the Adan and Eva theory we.... no maybe I am kinds confused forget about it sorry lol
EXPLANATION (My personal interpretation of course) I think it's actually easier than it seems, and the credits appearing only in the endings in the room with the father are the key. "Hey, you're back! I know this is a terrible shock," This quotes resumes the game. I'll break it down in two pieces. - "...I know this is a terrible shock," The father tells the son the truth, that he had an affair with the nanny. He tells him about this because things start to getting out of control since the son/protagonist/husband is in love with his half sister. So after hearing this, the son enters in shock and denial. This is a LOT to take for him, so he enters in a state of mind where for a moment, he starts to see this perfect future with her he was wishing. The game start here, while he's in shock imagining his life living with her, about to have a child and stuff. So all of this scenes are product of his imagination, produced by this shock. I can't say this enough, he's in shock. So his dream starts crumble with reality catching up. His mind starts to mix this perfect future with the new information, with the new reality. This perfect future starts to fall apart when reality, piece by piece, starts to interfere in this future he had in mind. It just doesn't work. It doesn't make him happy anymore. Or even worse, it makes them both unhappy, he and his wife/half sister. So every "ending" you get in his house, makes him repeat the loop because he's still in his head. He keeps imagining scenes and trying to find a way to make it work. But he has to coexist with the facts, and the first step is to tell her the truth, and he does that in his head and it obviously goes terribly. Once he does that, then he can move forward and talk to his father. The cop with the father's voice it's a symbol, just think about it: a cop WITH his father's voice, which is also a father who only listens to her wife and daughter, and looking for a watch the protagonist has in his house have to save his daughter.. DUUUUUUUUDE. And the killing, a way to go back in time and try to change things... it's clearly all a dream/imagination. - "Hey, you're back!..." Once you 'wake up', once you're back in the room and 'awake', you can say that you're back in the real world. So you keep listening to your father, and now you have to decide what to do with this. So i like to think that all of the three endings with credits (Alone, Continue, and Mindfulness) could be 'the real ending'. It's up to you what to do with this 'new reality'.
Question: whats the difference between the continue ending and the mindfulness ending? or rather whats the meaning of the mindfullness ending? since the continue ending is to forget everything and have peace but wouldn’t it just literally take you to the beginning of the game? ‘cuz you couldn’t remember? so Im guessing the mindfulness ending is to…? accept reality and TRULY move on?
im too tired to make sense and i watched everything 12 minutes related in one sitting, so here goes nothing. i feel like the two other apartments outside could be a hint to two different outcomes. the quiet apartment (right) is where they cut contact with each other. like its an empty room now? and the apartment with the baby (left) is where they still live together and have the baby. i dont know. this game has fried my brain
WAIT HOLD UP!! Nah cause you on to something fr. At first I thought neighbors but after watching the game and learning about what’s actually going on... I believe this👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oh my god I just realised, the apartments are representing past present and future. the past is the empty unit indicating there was no past because it was all a delusion, the present is their current apartment and the future are the neighbours with the crying baby, their future child as @藍染 惣右介Aizen Sousuke mentioned.
I spent 6 hours just for the ending to be "move on dude" edit; Yeah it isn't exactly like that but also I love the quote of the book thing like when I was messing around and clicked the book I was shocked cuz like I remembered that the wife read that, in the first flashback I was like "bruh I caused the loop"
Damn at the end of the day all this was him playing through a delusion of him just continuing this lie. If he just didn’t say anything. But no matter what choices he made he couldn’t move forward living a lie AFTER THE CHILD WAS PUT IN THE MIX. Because that’s how all this started. The lies of their parents brought on this heartbreak and turmoil. How could he do the same.
This game goes from intriguing to confusing to a masterpiece, again, depending on just how much you know. I really didn’t assume this much depth went into it, and it ends up fixing most of its plot holes eventually
@Deep Claymore The timeline is fucked right ? like he tells him yo your banging your sister and got her prego but that was years ago acording to your wife her dad died 8 years ago. So like how does this timeline make any sense?
@@kinsgaming8197 I think it all has to do with that final ending, he tells you you’ve been creating these fantastical stories pretty much. Suggests it’s all just the fathers interpretation of the husband/brother/your perspective.
Before I looked at this video I really thought there was an ending where you show the cop the book and he admits he’s you and your wife’s father and that it’s wrong, that’s why he kills us. But nope. Almost an extra 2 hours of gameplay though so might as well appreciate it, however tedious.
So I went to the Bedroom switched the light on and off - prepared the romantic dinner and called Bumblebee to ask her day about the Pocket -watch. The Wife went into the Bedroom and got electrocuted by the light-switch. The Cop did not show up because of his daughter intervening. - Two Dinners for me - Best Ending :>
Personally speaking, I had an absolute blast playing through it. I found myself dicking around and experimenting with the various set pieces and character interactions/reactions. Spent a good amount of time doing this before attempting to unravel the main storyline. I do imagine it being entertaining to watch other people play it, but man, this game gave me one hell of an experience.
I disagree. I had more fun playing it. I don't think any games are more fun to watch than play unless you're watching competetive replays with commentators.
Not legal in the US. It would be considered an incestuous relationship. Biologically any children from such a marriage would have a huge change of having genetic issues. Negative genetic traits become more common as blood lines are closer. This situation is both a social taboo and a legal no-no in the US.
Only thing I dont like is how pressed she gets when u tell her that u killed her father, when 5 minutes prior she thought she was the one who'd killed him
(TL;DR - only the affair and the siblings' love is real. The game events are fabrications of the brother's mind, his rationale trying to see if a potential future of being in love with his sister is actually possible. Eventually he realizes this isn't the case, and agrees to leave her forever, or with the Continue ending, forget her forever.) My personal interpretation of the story is this: The dad's affair, the brother and sister, and their love I think are the only 'real' aspects of this story. Everything you do in the game except for the single daytime scene inside the bookshelf room is a complete fabrication of your own mind. (For clarity's sake: son = brother = husband, while daughter = sister = wife) Essentially, the brother fell in love with the sister and neither of them actually knew they were half-siblings. They met because of the nanny and their relationship grew from there. The father was taking notice of this, but he couldn't actually say anything because then he'd have to admit he had an affair with the nanny, while he still had a wife and a daughter. Eventually, he had to confront the son about it and tell him the truth, to which the son was obviously in extreme shock and denial. The father, no matter how hard he tried, could not convince the son that this relationship would eventually lead to ruin and despair. So he decided perhaps the best way to show him would be through his own mind. He put the son into a dream-like state, and through the son's immensely creative imagination he created the game world that we know to be Twelve Minutes. The events that happen in game are result of the brother's rationale while thinking about a potential future with the sister. He imagines this perfect, cookie cutter life where he has a boring day job, a quaint small apartment, and a loving relationship with his wife. But through this imagination he began to realize that things could not remain like this forever. The cop and his vendetta against the wife are manifestations of the son's current perception of his father. When he began dreaming of this fake scenario, the son felt that his father was simply an obstacle in the way of his love for the sister, which is represented by the cop's unrelenting pursuit of his revenge. It's also representative of the past eventually catching up to him, that it's only logical to think the truth would eventually come out, and when it did, his world would crumble before him. Every ending in the game makes sense under this context. - Groundhog ending is his initial naivety towards the situation, an illogical dream for the future, that everything could be ok if he could just continue running from his past (making the cop leave). - Listen ending is the realization that eventually, just by sharing memories of the past, they would both be confronted with the truth and their love would cease to be. - Coward ending is when he realizes that his selfish desire to keep up the facade could end up hurting the wife, which he couldn't even bear to think about. - Confessed is the final nail in the coffin for the son, the key factor that leads to him understanding that their love could never truly work in the end. The past is inescapable, even if you forget. - Alone is when he emerges from the hypnosis/dream, now fully aware of the futility in his desperation. He accepts that their love cannot be allowed to continue. He needs to leave her without another word, so that she might be spared the pain and suffering he now must endure forever, alone. - Continue isn't necessarily better or worse than Alone, in the sense that some people might not want to forget something so significant, or perhaps that his love shouldn't be forgotten even if he has to leave her. On the other hand, leaving her and forgetting all about her is the most painless and peaceful resolution to the game. The son will live his life to the fullest, maybe finding another love, never realizing he had one to begin with. And the daughter will simply have suffered a heartbreak, and nothing more. She'll move on with her life, blissfully unaware of the painful truth behind their separation. The only somewhat confusing aspect of the game for me is Bumblebee, even though I have a potential theory as to what her purpose is in the dreams. I think that since the cop is a representation of his father, and the obstacle he presents, then Bumblebee is a representation of the father's love for the daughter. He cares about her more than anything in both the real world and the dream world the son had imagined.
I think you've hit the nail on the head, but you left out the Mindfulness ending, which I think is the true ending. It maybe makes the argument that the forgetting isn't necessarily as bad as you say. After all, "it is only by forgetting that we ever really drop the thread of time and approach the experience of living in the present moment." The implication of the final words of this ending seems to be that the protagonist will wake up without his obsession and be able to truly let go, unlike when he forces himself to give her up in the Alone ending, which leads him directly back to the imaginary time loop.
If that’s the case, what’s the difference between the Mindfulness and the Continue ending? How can Continue qualify as an ending when there’s still an option to go back?
Although the one thing I would disagree with is that the main game is the result of the father putting him into a dream state intentionally. When the protagonist uses the stopwatch, the first thing the father says to him is "Hey, you're back! I know this is a terrible shock," which would imply to me that he had _just_ told him the news, and that when he did the protagonist passed out/retreated into an imaginary world of his own accord. Also, in the Alone ending, the protagonist seems to retreat into a similar imaginary world without any intervention by the father.
When I figured out that the main characters mother was the nanny, I thought the reason he didn’t tell his wife that they are sibling or that he killed her father was because he was a creepy psycho murderer and after all the time travel/hypnosis stuff, I kinda wished that the final plot twist would’ve been exactly that.
Of all the outcomes, "Mindfulness" feels like the only true ending. The others are just various fantasies and coping mechanisms the protagonist faces to deal with his past. You, the player, keep continuing the loop over and over and restarting the game forever until you eventually find out how to come to terms with reality and can no longer continue the fantasy.
that what I was thinking the game all about, it about the moments when you keep thinking of "What if . . . What if . . . What if . . . What if . . . " all the day
I felt Willem Dafoe talking to me at the end of Mindfulness, he’s absolutely right, sometimes things aren’t what you want, creating this scenarios in your head and believing them so strongly won’t make them real…you have to let her go
its kinda confusing, but in the coward ending, he says that he wasn't gonna target you when clearly everytime he comes up that elevator and arrests your wife, he either chokes you or punches you in your face until your dead.
A husband returns to his apartment after work and is greeted by his wife, who surprises him with the news that she is pregnant. As they start to celebrate, a man claiming to be a cop knocks on their door and accuses the wife of murder. The cop attacks them, binds their hands, and proceeds to strangle the husband to death. The husband suddenly finds himself back when he entered the apartment, up to ten minutes prior, and realizes he is trapped in a time loop. He tries to convince his wife of the loop, but she remains doubtful. The husband spends one loop hiding to see how the cop interacts with the wife alone, and discovers he was looking for an expensive pocket watch that previously belonged to her father. The husband manages to figure out that the cop wants the watch to fund his daughter's cancer treatment. In another loop, the husband gets the watch and asks his wife about it. She reveals that her father did not actually die of a heart attack eight years ago, but she had killed him after he had an affair with her nanny. The affair drove her mother away and into a deep depression. The wife then fled that night with the watch, where she met her husband-to-be at a bar on New Year's Eve. The cop is later revealed to be a friend of her father who is accusing the wife for her father's murder. The husband further investigates and manages to prove that his wife wasn't the killer; he approaches the cop peacefully where the three deduce that the wife was mistaken, and the father's true killer was her half-brother, who was born out of her father's affair. Even after successfully resolving the situation, the husband is still trapped in a loop. Agonized about still being stuck in the loop, the husband asks the cop about the nanny's name. He learns that the nanny was his mother, making him his wife's half-brother. The husband is forced to relive the truth: the father revealed to him that he and his wife are siblings and they should break off their love, but the husband refuses. After a brief scuffle, he accidentally shot the father and had to flee the scene. However, the loop refuses to close. Using the watch to reverse time, the husband returns to reality, where he is still talking with his father about falling in love with his sister; the time loops are revealed to be the husband imagining a positive future with his wife and the cop is a manifestation of his father's interference. If the husband decides to accept his father's proposal to leave his sister, he enters a loop where the apartment is empty and he is alone. If the husband refuses the proposal, the scuffle repeats and he accidentally breaks his father's neck, and the loops continue to repeat. If the husband recites a book that the wife was reading during the loops, the father offers to hypnotize him to forget his sister, causing the loops to reset and begin anew. Finally, if the husband stares at the clock before he is hypnotized, the father tells him to end his imaginary future, ending all the time loops once and for all.
the voice changes at the end, so i think he was actually speaking with a therapist about the argument with his father in the Alone ending, after he spent days at a time cooking up wild stories about a time loop involving his unwittingly incestuous relationship. the therapist compliments his creativity but gently lets him know that he can't live like that. he silently agrees, staring vacantly at the clock on the wall, and his imaginary world fades away.
Game is not bad overall, when i played my first few hours in this game, i rly enjoyed it, when you slowly but surely move through the plot and learn a lot of new details, but closer to the end (in my case, at least) i had to spend a lot of attempts to understand what exactly i need to do to move forward(i played without any prompts). At some point, the game actually started to get a little annoying when you again did the wrong thing and you were spinning in a time loop, so i could feel the protagonist when he was upset every time he went back in time. Anyways i reccomend to play game, who is a fan of time loop games like me.
Definitely agree, we all love how the game slowly but surely gives you new information each and every time you reset. Eventually that stops happening and it becomes more of a game about what is the correct sequence to move on.
@Hunime Official No, all the endings are lies made up in the main character’s mind. You just decide which lie you want to believe makes you happiest, exactly like the protagonist does. That’s the irony behind this whole game.
Id say the whole story the father being killed by the protagonist, the wife, the "cop" i.e. father, and the hypnosis is all fake. I believe the way this is revealed is with the ending speech in the mindfulness ending. I believe the father is infact the protagonist's therapist and that this whole story is the protagonist venting to him about not only this whole story but that he was in love with his sister (I do believe that the plot with his wife being his sister is only partially legit because in that final text it talks of his love for her and how he needs to let go and that its unhealthy, so I think its a one sided love that he is trying to seek help for.) So as one of the others has said it is the therapists trying to tell the protagonist to come to terms with it and let this love go for it will only cause him more pain. Also someone else thought of a different interesting interpretation where instead it is him trying to seek help for his love for his sister he is actually seeking help for copping with his wife's suicide which can also be a possibility, basically there is a legit story inside of the whole game it is just hidden behind the madness and you the player are the one to decide which pieces are real and which ones are from the protagonist head. Finally it is basically like those books where the narrator is not a person that you can trust and is able to lie to you throughout the book.
Personally I think there may be a little more to the mindfulness ending than it just being him forcing himself to forget everything, since he already does that in the Continue ending. I believe that in fact even that part of the ending is just in his head aswell and that all of it; the father, sister, baby, the whole scenario; is in his head and that his "father" is in fact his therapist trying to get him to come out of that fantasy. For example, the "father" says, "you do have a remarkable imagination, the stories you've created." so this would imply that the main character told him about this whole game and its scenario of a cop coming to kill him and his "wife" which I would feel is a very weird thing to tell your father when he is confronting you about your relationship with your sister (jesus thats gross) but when you put it into the context of him confiding to a therapist about his feelings for his sister and the ways he copes with it than it starts to make more sense. Also I find it strange that his father is just knows how to conduct hypnotherapy and helps his son forget everything, while it being either just the protagonist brain coming up with more stories than that makes more sense. Lastly, which I feel is one of the strongest pieces of evidence would be when the "father" says, "But believing them so strongly, so deeply is unhealty. You have to let her go. You can't keep obsessing over her." These lines not only make more sense from a therapist standpoint but also reveal that his "relationship" with his sister might in fact not be real and is only a one sided obsession that he is trying to seek help for. I love this game and its endings, they all give their own pieces to the story and hell the two "real" endings could be twisted and turned into all sorts of different conclusions.
I think that makes absolute perfect sense, but it's still kinda hard to tell. This game's ending really throws into a "what is right?" sort of conundrum.
@@MetalGearSEAL4 Yeah that is something I like about this game is that you really dont have a definite ending and even then you cant be fully sure as to if it isn't just another story in the protagonist mind
@@issiah4101 that could be an option, that he was never related to her, but what I was thinking was that the situation with the nanny, and father affair was real but the brother actually getting into a relationship isn't real, meaning that the protagonist (son) knew that she was his sister and had romantic feelings for her, but knew they were wrong and was going to a therapist for help
I don't think she's really his sister either, just some girl. If he's trying to convince himself he needs to let this girl go it would make sense that he would imagine her to be his sister. It's a reason why they absolutely can't be together that's completely out of his hands, so he's forced to let her go. The therapist would be saying that believing his own lies isn't healthy and he needs to let her go because it's the right thing, not because of a lie he told himself
Her: I killed my father Him: It's okay. It's in the past. I love you no matter what!! Him: Actually, I killed OUR father. Her: You're disgusting. MONSTER! How could I ever trust you?! Like, c'mon. He had repressed the memory the whole time and genuinely didn't know, but SHE'S believed she killed him for 8 YEARS, I---
@Frederick Mccray I'm sorry? The girl had thought she had killed her father for 8 years, when it was actually her BROTHER and got her pregnant while marrying her. The brother KNEW that he was her brother in one of the endings and married her anyways causing his father to die from a gunshot. And you’re expecting her to just forgive him for that? She could have lived a life without marrying her brother, WHICH he had never told her about for his own selfish feelings. Yeah right, it’s toootally the women’s fault.
Ik cheating is wrong, but things do just happen the nanny was at the right place wrong time, he was gonna leave his wife but the nanny thing fuck it up for him
@@younghentaii1772 Things do just happen? what do you mean? It's not the father choice to have an affair? Not only he cheats but he tried to get away with it and not suffer the consequences.
imho i think that's the point of the game. fucked up shit really happens in life and you need to face it and learn to move on. even if it means letting go of the things that you love because you know it's wrong.
It’s interesting to see every time you inspect the edges of the pocket watch there are *3 outer rings* that rotate as the true game progresses. It isn’t till all 3 outer rings point up is when you can’t continue any longer. There you learn to *remember* the mistakes you made, *forget* your wife, and to *wait* till the final end approaches….
This game is an absolute mind-fuck. Amazing. Such a good game. Such a good story. Wish there was more to it than just the 6 endings. I wanna know what happens next. I want more. I want to know what happens when he breaks the loop , if the loop was even real, or if it was all in his head, and the loop was just a scenario that kept playing over and over in his head while his father was talking to him. I want to know what the clock has to do with all of this.
It would be good to know these things but that was probably what the game developers were doing, getting the player to come up with their own ending and explanations.
I thought this was going to be a quick type of mystery game. But it ended up being a very complex story to solve. I've looked up for a hint or two when I was stuck in loops. But anyways, I've now realized that I actually saw a few of those endings while randomly going through the game, before the one where we speak to the father. I had no idea this was so deep. Very interesting game, even for someone not used to play this style of games. I enjoyed the experience.
Same! The first parts of the game were really enjoyable because the player found out new plot with every reset, but near the end it was more "sequnce these actions to get this and that". So yeah I also ended up looking for some hints in TH-cam (In this channels walkthrough video) and then I came to this videos comment section and my mind was just blown by the story. Although I believe the end of the game could have been better than just some sequencing puzzles, I know how hard it was to implement the story into the game towards the end so I don't blame them and I really enjoyed it overall (despite not finishing the game fully, I stopped playing after the Alone ending and came to TH-cam). With that said I think the best way to enjoy the game is to play until you can't solve the puzzles (which is around the Alone ending) and then going for a walkthrough video and then reading the comment section of this video.
this game is similar to the movie Trance, and James McAvoy is the main character. the movie isnt about time loop but it has similar features as to memories and hypnosis.
To listen is to deny the truth, to continue with your perfect little charade. To be cowardly is to be so caught up in your performance you would do anything to, even letting your wife die, to let your mind forget. To act as the groundhog is to feel the guilt, to know your pretending will not last. To "confess" is to believe that you can lie your way through your life. To be alone is to forget, to wipe the pain from your mind instead of facing it. To continue is to realize you have lied to yourself, that you must remember. To be mindful is to finally live, live without baggage, not to forget but to understand.
@Paradox Being mindful is the character realizing that even the "real" parts of the game (the father talking to him) aren't actually real, and that he is with a therapist and cannot truly forget it all as much as he tries. It is him understanding that he needs to move on.
The final ending I got was the "Continue" ending where you forget everything and start over, but I was actually only a few seconds away from getting Mindfulness because I had left it so long to mention the book. I'm still satisfied, just wish I'd waited a few seconds longer lol. This is a great game.
This game honestly blew me away with every new scenario and the new details that kept being added to the story. I’m learning to be a game developer in college, and this game will have a impact on me for how stories can be told differently through gaming. You don’t need big events and nice graphics to tell a good story. My hope is that I can get into a good game studio and make games with good stories.
The fact this takes place in mostly one setting is amazing to me. You don’t need hundreds of settings or great graphics to tell a story. You have to search, click, think, and listen to hints the game tell you. That was makes this game just brilliant. I am sure you can do something like this too
I strongly recommend you watching "The Man from Earth (2007)". One of the greatest films I have ever seen, I strongly believe it has great artistic value, and it was basically produced in one room. And if you ever do, please come back here and share your thoughts on it.
In the third ending, what's heard on the radio while they have dinner are the tangos "Volver" ('Coming back' maybe being a reference of the loop and the decision that the protagonist takes), "Por una cabeza" (that speaks of the miraculous luck of dodging the policeman and almost getting caught) and last, "El día que me quieras" (meaning 'The day you'll love me', when they're in bed). The game is so detailed... Saludos desde Argentina ⭐⭐⭐
So to me "Continue" and "Mindfulness" are the 2 true endings. In Continue, you just forget about everything and move on with your life, forgetting that you even loved your sister in the first place. The Mindfulness ending seems like a continuation of the Alone ending. You move on with your life, but you choose not to forget what happened. But you go and see a therapist to help you work through it all. And that's the voice you hear at the end of the Mindfulness ending
The Confession ending is weird, I feel the wife should have said more. The cop says infront of her that he is her brother and she doesn't react, then the husband gives up the watch that the wife hid but the wife doesn't blink an eye that he somehow has it on him?
There is an alternative in which the wife is the one explaining everything to the man and finally gives him the watch because she felt sorry for his daughter.
I didnt know i could open the present without sitting down and getting it givin to me. Tried dragging it to the player, combining it with a knife both of which didnt work. Then figured out you can just tap it to use it. Wow And after that i already knew about the nannys relation so spent like 2 hours stuck on how to tell the wife we're probabaly having a joffrey lannister.
The only ending where you need to look at the watch is the secret endings where the room is all empty. Unless you did what Penguinz0 did and accidenrtly stumbled upon the secret ending.
If I made an ending for this game it would end like this: The father gets the pocketwatch back & turns the dial back to the day his daughter introduces her fiancé to him. He recognises him at once & confesses everything, he insists that they must end the relationship for their own sakes, but by all means stay in touch as the brother & sister they ought to be. Of course both adult children are shocked to hear this but they do take the father's advice, thus preventing the incestuous pregnancy from occuring.
@@bodyz111 Since the story was all in the protagonist mind then the cop was probably the father as well, in a way. I mean…they had the same voice for a reason
Now, that I suffered more than 6 hours in this game, I can finally say I hated it. I hated that game pretends to be non linear while it is so linear that if you do something the game doesn't want you to do, it punishes you immediately, and you have to restart. I hated that the game is breaking its own rules constantly, with the damaged light switch for example. I mean by this that the cop always check the bedroom looking for you, but not when he already cuffed your wife. He just finds you instantly in the closet. I hated that for every problem in the game, there is only one solution, while logically there should be multiple. I hated the ton of logical mistakes (the cop guy kills you almost every time without any reason basically). He even kills you after your wife is proven to be innocent, if you want to talk to him! I hated that I had to restart over and over and over and over again just to do exact same things I did before. I hated that all this happened just to experience a 5/10 story. I hated that the "real" ending is the worst and the most depressing one (alone). There are very few things that I didn't hate in this game, really.
@@shadeis9276 The “nothing was ever real” kind of plot is really weak and clichéd. Literally everything that happened in the game doesn't matter because it wasn't real. They could've gone with just the murder mystery plot and it would've been more interesting and more satisfying endings
@@Falahh25 A person named queb commented their lengthy interpretation of the story's plot on this video and I think they got it almost spot on. I suggest you take a look at it because I don't think it's JUST 'nothing is ever real so it doesnt matter anyway'. The half-siblings love for each other and the father's disapproval of their love is real, and since the brother's love for the sister was too strong, he cannot let it go and he tried to cope by creating scenarios of a life with the sister in his head which is shown in the game. All of the characters and endings in the game was a metaphor of the brother's perception to the whole situation like the cop being his disapproving father. I like the game because the story is not as straightforward as like this person wants to kill this person because this person wants to avenge this person. After finishing the game, I felt like I missed something and I came looking for explanations and to my surprise the story was much deeper than just a cop kills girl for watch and money OR it was just a hypnosis in the brother's head. The game was trying to take the psychological thriller route for the story and I think they convey that really well.
I mean if they could somehow speed up the things you already did so you're not doing the same time over and over again, otherwise I would just be annoyed by the game. For something similar though, check out Outer Wilds. It's exactly the same only it's an entire solar system, not just a city. A tiny solar system but still a system with planets and a sun that you have to visit and figure out the mystery while the sun goes supernova over and over again and resets everything.

I never really thought about this at the time but the "neighbors" could represents the two potential futures of the husband. One is where the child is born and the family lives with the child in the apartment. And the other is the apartment that is never rented out a symbol that the relationship between the husband and wife could never work and that living together and making a life together for the future was impossible.
considering how in one ending there's neither of those two apartments... that might actually be it.

I recently had one of those, but I largely succeeded in a game
Or when you write an essay and think it was god-tier work just to fail it
So is the whole game happening inside the protagonist head after the hypnosis room with his dad? There is no time loop chananigans, it's just a illusion in his head trying to cope with the traumas and imagining a world that, if he killed the disapproving father he could stay together with her. What he says "I wish I could go back and take it back", it is not about the murder he never committed, is about accepting the hypnosis.
The pos credit scene shows him moving to the apartment but all alone. The game is him imagining a world where he could be happy, but not even his mind allows it. Damn.
@@AYAYA_JUICER You are seeing this in a linear form. They made this story for a game format because you can only solve the real last puzzle when you see all the endings. Which is to remember the real story through the pieces from the fake story he made to himself.
Why would they leave the explanation for the time loops out?
"We wrote time loop because it would be cool."
If your version is right, the game lose the structure it barely has. That's why the loop doesn't end even in the happy "ending".
Watch the pos credit scene, where the apartment is all empty. My theory makes sense with that, he is all alone moving to that apartment, search for it and watch it.
Read my first comment again (the one you replied). See if I explained it better, I edited because English is not my first language.
Hello dear sir I watched the game, saw your comment yet still didn’t get the whole picture. So the cop is actually the father of both the husband and the wife, and he hypnotized the husband(his son) to let the husband find the truth in order to let him leave the wife(his daughter) willingly?
So what did I do wrong?? I keep messing up, I always die when the cop comes in, he kills me every freaking time! I kill my wife, washed the blood from the knife, kept the knife, threw the knife into the toilet and flushed it one other time! Tried to kill the cop a dozen time with the knife coming from the closet! Dont matter where you try to hide, bathroom, bed room or closet he always found me! Except at every beginning of the loop you take the knife and hide quickly in the closet when your wife comes out of the bathroom! I found the phone of my wife called several times 911! The cop kills my wife because of the watch doesn't matter if I intervene, than he punches me and time loop starts again! I played almost 2 to 3 hours and seriously no freaking achievement I got except for watering the plant achievement this one I got! It doesn't matter if the cop walks in and cuffs your wife than you! If you say something twice he strangles you to death! If you are cuffed and your wife are cuffed and you try the knife to free yourself, he kills you or strangles you again Even when I hid in the closet and watched how the cop beat my wife and got the answer where the watch of here dad is hidden he still shoots my wife and kills her! When I tell the cop that I have the watch or tell him where the watch is, that bastard stil strangles me, oh yeah time loop again and again! I stabbed the cop dozen times but always I get the knock out punch and here we go again and again with the time loop! I injured him with the kitchen knife once coming out of the closet, than he pulled a gun on me and shoot me to death! So now I want to know what this video does differently by watching it!

I think this is the first video documentation of all three rings being lined up at the end. There goes the last remaining embers of hope for an ending that explains Cop Dad.
Can someone explain this to me but what is the meaning - I don’t understand the story
@@clurpslurp As i pieced it myself - the actual present time characters actually live in - is in the "past", when dad is interrogating the main character. And the only real choice you are making is either to stay with your sister or to dissapear and let her be. All those scenarios in the flat meanwhile are the plot of protagonist's imagination. He is imagining what their life will be like if he chooses to stay with her and how the consequences of his decision will return at them both in the future, and if you choose to stay with her, dad indeed dies and some of those routes can actually happen.
And when he is alone in empty flat is the "future present" if you choose to leave her be. Just loneliness and emptyness.
I might be wrong or maybe this game doesn`t have a definitive ending and leaves it to the player's imagination, but either way the story is very sad, main character was born in the wrong family, fell in love with the wrong woman and saddest thing he isn't responsible for either of those things and is just a victim of a situation, cursed with bad ending no matter what he chooses.
Also I think this game gives player a question: what will you choose, to live a happy but short life, or long but sad life.
Anyway, im gonna load up some Warzone
@@Smartem_ this helped my brain a lot
@@Smartem_ I think you're right about everything except about the game not having a definitive ending. I agree the only real thing going on is the office scene, where the character apparently has only two options: stay with his sister, which he imagines in the events that make up the bulk of the game, or leave her, which he imagines in the Alone ending. But the hidden third choice is to forget her altogether, in the Continue and Mindfulness endings. The only difference between them is that the Mindfulness ending has the line "You do have a remarkable imagination. The stories you've created. But believing them so deeply, so strongly, is unhealthy... It's time for you to wake up." This is the key to the proper interpretation- and this ending also has no continue button. I think this is the true ending, and in it, the protagonist wakes up with no memory, and no obsession, because "It's only by forgetting that we ever really drop the thread of time, and approach the experience of living in the present moment." So _perhaps_ the game doesn't need to be _quite_ so sad as those two options.
@@Smartem_ mvp rlly putting out the paragraphs rn 💪 most ppl on google I saw had similar interpretation, I feel like the dad is putting him thru hypnosis or something to make him imagine these scenarios( given the one scene where he says to close his eyes and say things). Idk it’s rlly a cool game
the time loops are revealed to be the husband imagining a positive future with his wife and the cop is a manifestation of his father's interference. If the husband decides to accept his father's proposal to leave his sister, he enters a loop where the apartment is empty and he is alone. If the husband refuses the proposal, the scuffle repeats and he accidentally breaks his father's neck, and the loops continue to repeat. If the husband recites a book that the wife was reading during the loops, the father offers to hypnotize him to forget his sister, causing the loops to reset and begin anew. Finally, if the husband stares at the clock before he is hypnotized, the father tells him to end his imaginary future, ending all the time loops once and for all.
I wish there was a true ending with him staying with his sister, despite how twisted it may sound...I mean, this is love :/
@@TheSenSx I don't think that would've been possible, he'd actually need to kill his father and marry his own sister without telling her that. Doesn't sound like a great ending, the game was different, he was hyotonized and didn't know she was her sister

From wiki is

I've always had a fear of marrying a distant relative all thanks to a reckless person in my family who decided to have children with multiple people.
i will be absolutely honest: i don't get that fear.
here's the thing: i'm fully conscious about the health risks of incest, at least "full" incest(both same mother and father), but in the case of what is also presented in this game, that being half siblings, the risks are extremely lower, and without considering that, then the question remains: what's to be feared?
society? after all at that point it's more a matter of surnames as the genetics involved are nowhere near strong enough i presume to invoke... well, anything really.
it seems to me like it is something people fear and are disgusted by due purely to it being taboo, without actually thinking about the logical reasons to why it is something to be feared of... that, or i'm missing something that to most people is -apparently- just normalcy and common sense.
@@iota-09 I was hoping someone would question that, and I'll tell you exactly why I feel that way. I have 5 half siblings, and no they're not from just one parent. My mom and dad had me, then my mom had 3 more with another dude, my dad had another 1 with another chick, then my mom came in clutch and had ANOTHER child with ANOTHER dude.
My reasons are solely based on that, and though I love my siblings, who's to say there isn't any more half siblings out there that I don't know about? But of course it isn't specifically a fear of marrying a sibling, no, it's more so a distant half cousin that I never knew existed.
Because of a family member's reckless decision to go out and start smashing with a bunch of people and having a bunch of kids, my options for potential intimate relationships start to dwindle real fast because they're already considered "family". But that's just me.
@@4gasm yeah i don't get that either tbh.
might be because i only have a brother and while i have huge family on both sides of my parents, i've never been close to anybody in particular, and in the case of my father's side family, aside from the fact that our surname isn't common, i could have a cousin in virtually any country in the world for all i know, adding to it how my father now lives with another family whose girlfriend and son i have never even seen and feel absolutely nothing for and... yeah i don't really get it, like if i my father made a daughter with this new girl and 25 years from now i met her, if i knew she was my half-sister i'd just be "oh you're his daughter? so you know him? cool."
and that's it, i don't see how or why i'd have to feel any attachment(or detachment) to that individual due to them being a relative i had no knowledge of.
@@4gasm bro really say came in clutch lmaooo. sorry for laughing but that wording is pretty funny bro haha
But didn't we are kinda related in the beginning? I mean following the Adan and Eva theory we.... no maybe I am kinds confused forget about it sorry lol
EXPLANATION
(My personal interpretation of course)
I think it's actually easier than it seems, and the credits appearing only in the endings in the room with the father are the key.
"Hey, you're back! I know this is a terrible shock,"
This quotes resumes the game. I'll break it down in two pieces.
- "...I know this is a terrible shock,"
The father tells the son the truth, that he had an affair with the nanny. He tells him about this because things start to getting out of control since the son/protagonist/husband is in love with his half sister. So after hearing this, the son enters in shock and denial. This is a LOT to take for him, so he enters in a state of mind where for a moment, he starts to see this perfect future with her he was wishing. The game start here, while he's in shock imagining his life living with her, about to have a child and stuff. So all of this scenes are product of his imagination, produced by this shock. I can't say this enough, he's in shock. So his dream starts crumble with reality catching up. His mind starts to mix this perfect future with the new information, with the new reality. This perfect future starts to fall apart when reality, piece by piece, starts to interfere in this future he had in mind. It just doesn't work. It doesn't make him happy anymore. Or even worse, it makes them both unhappy, he and his wife/half sister. So every "ending" you get in his house, makes him repeat the loop because he's still in his head. He keeps imagining scenes and trying to find a way to make it work. But he has to coexist with the facts, and the first step is to tell her the truth, and he does that in his head and it obviously goes terribly. Once he does that, then he can move forward and talk to his father.
The cop with the father's voice it's a symbol, just think about it: a cop WITH his father's voice, which is also a father who only listens to her wife and daughter, and looking for a watch the protagonist has in his house have to save his daughter.. DUUUUUUUUDE. And the killing, a way to go back in time and try to change things... it's clearly all a dream/imagination.
- "Hey, you're back!..."
Once you 'wake up', once you're back in the room and 'awake', you can say that you're back in the real world. So you keep listening to your father, and now you have to decide what to do with this. So i like to think that all of the three endings with credits (Alone, Continue, and Mindfulness) could be 'the real ending'. It's up to you what to do with this 'new reality'.
Question: whats the difference between the continue ending and the mindfulness ending?
or rather whats the meaning of the mindfullness ending? since the continue ending is to forget everything and have peace but wouldn’t it just literally take you to the beginning of the game? ‘cuz you couldn’t remember? so Im guessing the mindfulness ending is to…? accept reality and TRULY move on?
@@limitlessunknown8676 "Continue" does take you back to the beginning.
im too tired to make sense and i watched everything 12 minutes related in one sitting, so here goes nothing.
i feel like the two other apartments outside could be a hint to two different outcomes. the quiet apartment (right) is where they cut contact with each other. like its an empty room now? and the apartment with the baby (left) is where they still live together and have the baby. i dont know. this game has fried my brain
WAIT HOLD UP!! Nah cause you on to something fr. At first I thought neighbors but after watching the game and learning about what’s actually going on... I believe this👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This game could be a movie with the casts just like in the game
Oh my god I just realised, the apartments are representing past present and future. the past is the empty unit indicating there was no past because it was all a delusion, the present is their current apartment and the future are the neighbours with the crying baby, their future child as @藍染 惣右介Aizen Sousuke mentioned.
I spent 6 hours just for the ending to be "move on dude" edit;
Yeah it isn't exactly like that but also I love the quote of the book thing like when I was messing around and clicked the book I was shocked cuz like I remembered that the wife read that, in the first flashback I was like "bruh I caused the loop"
the lines reflected on our character as he is in the elevator resembles the inescapable prison he is about to go through
True Ending: "Obsessing is unhealthy... You have to go wake up."
A.k.a. Designers: Stop replaying this game, get up from the computer and go outside!

Damn at the end of the day all this was him playing through a delusion of him just continuing this lie. If he just didn’t say anything.

@@kinsgaming8197 I think it all has to do with that final ending, he tells you you’ve been creating these fantastical stories pretty much. Suggests it’s all just the fathers interpretation of the husband/brother/your perspective.
Before I looked at this video I really thought there was an ending where you show the cop the book and he admits he’s you and your wife’s father and that it’s wrong, that’s why he kills us. But nope. Almost an extra 2 hours of gameplay though so might as well appreciate it, however tedious.
So I went to the Bedroom switched the light on and off - prepared the romantic dinner and called Bumblebee to ask her day about the Pocket -watch. The Wife went into the Bedroom and got electrocuted by the light-switch. The Cop did not show up because of his daughter intervening.

That all depends on the game actually.
Personally speaking, I had an absolute blast playing through it. I found myself dicking around and experimenting with the various set pieces and character interactions/reactions. Spent a good amount of time doing this before attempting to unravel the main storyline.
I do imagine it being entertaining to watch other people play it, but man, this game gave me one hell of an experience.
I disagree. I had more fun playing it. I don't think any games are more fun to watch than play unless you're watching competetive replays with commentators.
Fr I played it and wanted to launch my head through the wall
Why doesn't this include the good secret true ending where they both live happily after moving to Alabama?
Not legal in the US. It would be considered an incestuous relationship. Biologically any children from such a marriage would have a huge change of having genetic issues. Negative genetic traits become more common as blood lines are closer. This situation is both a social taboo and a legal no-no in the US.

@@mannysinclair6328 they literally shot the same guy.their father.
@@mannysinclair6328 Except he literally tells her that he forgot until only a few minutes before.
It's probably because the loop is in his head, and that version of his wife is his guilty conscience
(TL;DR - only the affair and the siblings' love is real. The game events are fabrications of the brother's mind, his rationale trying to see if a potential future of being in love with his sister is actually possible. Eventually he realizes this isn't the case, and agrees to leave her forever, or with the Continue ending, forget her forever.)
My personal interpretation of the story is this:
The dad's affair, the brother and sister, and their love I think are the only 'real' aspects of this story. Everything you do in the game except for the single daytime scene inside the bookshelf room is a complete fabrication of your own mind. (For clarity's sake: son = brother = husband, while daughter = sister = wife)
Essentially, the brother fell in love with the sister and neither of them actually knew they were half-siblings. They met because of the nanny and their relationship grew from there. The father was taking notice of this, but he couldn't actually say anything because then he'd have to admit he had an affair with the nanny, while he still had a wife and a daughter. Eventually, he had to confront the son about it and tell him the truth, to which the son was obviously in extreme shock and denial. The father, no matter how hard he tried, could not convince the son that this relationship would eventually lead to ruin and despair. So he decided perhaps the best way to show him would be through his own mind. He put the son into a dream-like state, and through the son's immensely creative imagination he created the game world that we know to be Twelve Minutes.
The events that happen in game are result of the brother's rationale while thinking about a potential future with the sister. He imagines this perfect, cookie cutter life where he has a boring day job, a quaint small apartment, and a loving relationship with his wife. But through this imagination he began to realize that things could not remain like this forever. The cop and his vendetta against the wife are manifestations of the son's current perception of his father. When he began dreaming of this fake scenario, the son felt that his father was simply an obstacle in the way of his love for the sister, which is represented by the cop's unrelenting pursuit of his revenge. It's also representative of the past eventually catching up to him, that it's only logical to think the truth would eventually come out, and when it did, his world would crumble before him.
Every ending in the game makes sense under this context.
- Groundhog ending is his initial naivety towards the situation, an illogical dream for the future, that everything could be ok if he could just continue running from his past (making the cop leave).
- Listen ending is the realization that eventually, just by sharing memories of the past, they would both be confronted with the truth and their love would cease to be.
- Coward ending is when he realizes that his selfish desire to keep up the facade could end up hurting the wife, which he couldn't even bear to think about.
- Confessed is the final nail in the coffin for the son, the key factor that leads to him understanding that their love could never truly work in the end. The past is inescapable, even if you forget.
- Alone is when he emerges from the hypnosis/dream, now fully aware of the futility in his desperation. He accepts that their love cannot be allowed to continue. He needs to leave her without another word, so that she might be spared the pain and suffering he now must endure forever, alone.
- Continue isn't necessarily better or worse than Alone, in the sense that some people might not want to forget something so significant, or perhaps that his love shouldn't be forgotten even if he has to leave her. On the other hand, leaving her and forgetting all about her is the most painless and peaceful resolution to the game. The son will live his life to the fullest, maybe finding another love, never realizing he had one to begin with. And the daughter will simply have suffered a heartbreak, and nothing more. She'll move on with her life, blissfully unaware of the painful truth behind their separation.
The only somewhat confusing aspect of the game for me is Bumblebee, even though I have a potential theory as to what her purpose is in the dreams. I think that since the cop is a representation of his father, and the obstacle he presents, then Bumblebee is a representation of the father's love for the daughter. He cares about her more than anything in both the real world and the dream world the son had imagined.
I think you've hit the nail on the head, but you left out the Mindfulness ending, which I think is the true ending. It maybe makes the argument that the forgetting isn't necessarily as bad as you say. After all, "it is only by forgetting that we ever really drop the thread of time and approach the experience of living in the present moment." The implication of the final words of this ending seems to be that the protagonist will wake up without his obsession and be able to truly let go, unlike when he forces himself to give her up in the Alone ending, which leads him directly back to the imaginary time loop.
If that’s the case, what’s the difference between the Mindfulness and the Continue ending?
How can Continue qualify as an ending when there’s still an option to go back?
Although the one thing I would disagree with is that the main game is the result of the father putting him into a dream state intentionally. When the protagonist uses the stopwatch, the first thing the father says to him is "Hey, you're back! I know this is a terrible shock," which would imply to me that he had _just_ told him the news, and that when he did the protagonist passed out/retreated into an imaginary world of his own accord. Also, in the Alone ending, the protagonist seems to retreat into a similar imaginary world without any intervention by the father.
@@SteelSpurs I think both are the same for the protagonist, and the only difference is that Mindfulness clarifies things for the player.
@@GlaurungTheGreat I meant Alone, my bad. Can Alone be classified as an ending when there’s an option to repeat the loops?
So the ending is the classic “nothing was ever real”
Cliché
The protagonist is in a coma XD
kinda wish there were 2-3 ¨true¨ endings.
When I figured out that the main characters mother was the nanny, I thought the reason he didn’t tell his wife that they are sibling or that he killed her father was because he was a creepy psycho murderer and after all the time travel/hypnosis stuff, I kinda wished that the final plot twist would’ve been exactly that.
@@unipachu wrong
Of all the outcomes, "Mindfulness" feels like the only true ending. The others are just various fantasies and coping mechanisms the protagonist faces to deal with his past. You, the player, keep continuing the loop over and over and restarting the game forever until you eventually find out how to come to terms with reality and can no longer continue the fantasy.
that what I was thinking the game all about, it about the moments when you keep thinking of "What if . . . What if . . . What if . . . What if . . . " all the day
It would also make sense why the "cop" and the father were both voiced by Willam Dafoe
reminds me of OMORI if you put it that way
So it's like the Minecraft ending screen where it's telling you to go out and live your life?
I got the continue ending and there's no way I'm putting all that time back into the game (since it wiped my progress) to get mindfulness lol.
I felt Willem Dafoe talking to me at the end of Mindfulness, he’s absolutely right, sometimes things aren’t what you want, creating this scenarios in your head and believing them so strongly won’t make them real…you have to let her go

A husband returns to his apartment after work and is greeted by his wife, who surprises him with the news that she is pregnant. As they start to celebrate, a man claiming to be a cop knocks on their door and accuses the wife of murder. The cop attacks them, binds their hands, and proceeds to strangle the husband to death.
The husband suddenly finds himself back when he entered the apartment, up to ten minutes prior, and realizes he is trapped in a time loop. He tries to convince his wife of the loop, but she remains doubtful. The husband spends one loop hiding to see how the cop interacts with the wife alone, and discovers he was looking for an expensive pocket watch that previously belonged to her father. The husband manages to figure out that the cop wants the watch to fund his daughter's cancer treatment. In another loop, the husband gets the watch and asks his wife about it. She reveals that her father did not actually die of a heart attack eight years ago, but she had killed him after he had an affair with her nanny. The affair drove her mother away and into a deep depression. The wife then fled that night with the watch, where she met her husband-to-be at a bar on New Year's Eve.
The cop is later revealed to be a friend of her father who is accusing the wife for her father's murder. The husband further investigates and manages to prove that his wife wasn't the killer; he approaches the cop peacefully where the three deduce that the wife was mistaken, and the father's true killer was her half-brother, who was born out of her father's affair. Even after successfully resolving the situation, the husband is still trapped in a loop.
Agonized about still being stuck in the loop, the husband asks the cop about the nanny's name. He learns that the nanny was his mother, making him his wife's half-brother. The husband is forced to relive the truth: the father revealed to him that he and his wife are siblings and they should break off their love, but the husband refuses. After a brief scuffle, he accidentally shot the father and had to flee the scene. However, the loop refuses to close.
Using the watch to reverse time, the husband returns to reality, where he is still talking with his father about falling in love with his sister; the time loops are revealed to be the husband imagining a positive future with his wife and the cop is a manifestation of his father's interference. If the husband decides to accept his father's proposal to leave his sister, he enters a loop where the apartment is empty and he is alone. If the husband refuses the proposal, the scuffle repeats and he accidentally breaks his father's neck, and the loops continue to repeat. If the husband recites a book that the wife was reading during the loops, the father offers to hypnotize him to forget his sister, causing the loops to reset and begin anew. Finally, if the husband stares at the clock before he is hypnotized, the father tells him to end his imaginary future, ending all the time loops once and for all.
I like actually read that entire thing
You can notice the yellow thing is assembling together too
the voice changes at the end, so i think he was actually speaking with a therapist about the argument with his father in the Alone ending, after he spent days at a time cooking up wild stories about a time loop involving his unwittingly incestuous relationship. the therapist compliments his creativity but gently lets him know that he can't live like that. he silently agrees, staring vacantly at the clock on the wall, and his imaginary world fades away.
@@maisantut4283 this is literally from Wikipedia
Thanks for the explanation, I was kinda confused.
Game is not bad overall, when i played my first few hours in this game, i rly enjoyed it, when you slowly but surely move through the plot and learn a lot of new details, but closer to the end (in my case, at least) i had to spend a lot of attempts to understand what exactly i need to do to move forward(i played without any prompts). At some point, the game actually started to get a little annoying when you again did the wrong thing and you were spinning in a time loop, so i could feel the protagonist when he was upset every time he went back in time. Anyways i reccomend to play game, who is a fan of time loop games like me.
What an oxymoron statement.
I agree completely
He didn't went back in time it's not in his control
Definitely agree, we all love how the game slowly but surely gives you new information each and every time you reset. Eventually that stops happening and it becomes more of a game about what is the correct sequence to move on.

@Hunime Official No, all the endings are lies made up in the main character’s mind. You just decide which lie you want to believe makes you happiest, exactly like the protagonist does. That’s the irony behind this whole game.
@@6ixlxrd a beautiful irony
Id say the whole story the father being killed by the protagonist, the wife, the "cop" i.e. father, and the hypnosis is all fake. I believe the way this is revealed is with the ending speech in the mindfulness ending. I believe the father is infact the protagonist's therapist and that this whole story is the protagonist venting to him about not only this whole story but that he was in love with his sister (I do believe that the plot with his wife being his sister is only partially legit because in that final text it talks of his love for her and how he needs to let go and that its unhealthy, so I think its a one sided love that he is trying to seek help for.) So as one of the others has said it is the therapists trying to tell the protagonist to come to terms with it and let this love go for it will only cause him more pain.
Also someone else thought of a different interesting interpretation where instead it is him trying to seek help for his love for his sister he is actually seeking help for copping with his wife's suicide which can also be a possibility, basically there is a legit story inside of the whole game it is just hidden behind the madness and you the player are the one to decide which pieces are real and which ones are from the protagonist head.
Finally it is basically like those books where the narrator is not a person that you can trust and is able to lie to you throughout the book.
More like daydreaming

Personally I think there may be a little more to the mindfulness ending than it just being him forcing himself to forget everything, since he already does that in the Continue ending. I believe that in fact even that part of the ending is just in his head aswell and that all of it; the father, sister, baby, the whole scenario; is in his head and that his "father" is in fact his therapist trying to get him to come out of that fantasy. For example, the "father" says, "you do have a remarkable imagination, the stories you've created." so this would imply that the main character told him about this whole game and its scenario of a cop coming to kill him and his "wife" which I would feel is a very weird thing to tell your father when he is confronting you about your relationship with your sister (jesus thats gross) but when you put it into the context of him confiding to a therapist about his feelings for his sister and the ways he copes with it than it starts to make more sense. Also I find it strange that his father is just knows how to conduct hypnotherapy and helps his son forget everything, while it being either just the protagonist brain coming up with more stories than that makes more sense.
Lastly, which I feel is one of the strongest pieces of evidence would be when the "father" says, "But believing them so strongly, so deeply is unhealty. You have to let her go. You can't keep obsessing over her." These lines not only make more sense from a therapist standpoint but also reveal that his "relationship" with his sister might in fact not be real and is only a one sided obsession that he is trying to seek help for. I love this game and its endings, they all give their own pieces to the story and hell the two "real" endings could be twisted and turned into all sorts of different conclusions.
I think that makes absolute perfect sense, but it's still kinda hard to tell.
This game's ending really throws into a "what is right?" sort of conundrum.
@@MetalGearSEAL4 Yeah that is something I like about this game is that you really dont have a definite ending and even then you cant be fully sure as to if it isn't just another story in the protagonist mind
And maybe his wife’s suicide put him into that delusion, he could never see her killing herself so he thinks she was murdered.
@@issiah4101 that could be an option, that he was never related to her, but what I was thinking was that the situation with the nanny, and father affair was real but the brother actually getting into a relationship isn't real, meaning that the protagonist (son) knew that she was his sister and had romantic feelings for her, but knew they were wrong and was going to a therapist for help
I don't think she's really his sister either, just some girl. If he's trying to convince himself he needs to let this girl go it would make sense that he would imagine her to be his sister. It's a reason why they absolutely can't be together that's completely out of his hands, so he's forced to let her go. The therapist would be saying that believing his own lies isn't healthy and he needs to let her go because it's the right thing, not because of a lie he told himself
Her: I killed my father
Him: It's okay. It's in the past. I love you no matter what!!
Him: Actually, I killed OUR father.
Her: You're disgusting. MONSTER! How could I ever trust you?!
Like, c'mon. He had repressed the memory the whole time and genuinely didn't know, but SHE'S believed she killed him for 8 YEARS, I---
Exactly. I thought the same thing. He deserves better.
Actually, it gives you the option to resent her for doing so.
I think.
Bro he impregnant her, and telling her the truth she would say all that because she married someone that killed their father
If you think about it, she was also hiding this from him this entire time. She still shot her father, even if he didn't die.
@Frederick Mccray I'm sorry? The girl had thought she had killed her father for 8 years, when it was actually her BROTHER and got her pregnant while marrying her.
The brother KNEW that he was her brother in one of the endings and married her anyways causing his father to die from a gunshot.
And you’re expecting her to just forgive him for that? She could have lived a life without marrying her brother, WHICH he had never told her about for his own selfish feelings.
Yeah right, it’s toootally the women’s fault.
None of this would have happened if the dad didnt cheat on his wife with the nanny. Maybe Willem Defoe is the true villain and should have died.

This game is an absolute mind-fuck. Amazing. Such a good game. Such a good story. Wish there was more to it than just the 6 endings. I wanna know what happens next. I want more. I want to know what happens when he breaks the loop , if the loop was even real, or if it was all in his head, and the loop was just a scenario that kept playing over and over in his head while his father was talking to him. I want to know what the clock has to do with all of this.
It would be good to know these things but that was probably what the game developers were doing, getting the player to come up with their own ending and explanations.
In my opinion "the father" here is his doctor try to help him from his illusions illness
Are you memeing right now?
Look for a comment by a user named Queb.
Read that comment thread until the end, you'll figure everything out.
That would then ruin the experience. The writers want you to come up with your own interpretation of the ending.
I thought this was going to be a quick type of mystery game. But it ended up being a very complex story to solve. I've looked up for a hint or two when I was stuck in loops. But anyways, I've now realized that I actually saw a few of those endings while randomly going through the game, before the one where we speak to the father. I had no idea this was so deep. Very interesting game, even for someone not used to play this style of games. I enjoyed the experience.
Same! The first parts of the game were really enjoyable because the player found out new plot with every reset, but near the end it was more "sequnce these actions to get this and that". So yeah I also ended up looking for some hints in TH-cam (In this channels walkthrough video) and then I came to this videos comment section and my mind was just blown by the story. Although I believe the end of the game could have been better than just some sequencing puzzles, I know how hard it was to implement the story into the game towards the end so I don't blame them and I really enjoyed it overall (despite not finishing the game fully, I stopped playing after the Alone ending and came to TH-cam).
With that said I think the best way to enjoy the game is to play until you can't solve the puzzles (which is around the Alone ending) and then going for a walkthrough video and then reading the comment section of this video.
The alone ending hit hard for me with hearing Willem Dafoe say what every child wants to hear, and then the teary-eyed father-son hug

To listen is to deny the truth, to continue with your perfect little charade.
To be cowardly is to be so caught up in your performance you would do anything to, even letting your wife die, to let your mind forget.
To act as the groundhog is to feel the guilt, to know your pretending will not last.
To "confess" is to believe that you can lie your way through your life.
To be alone is to forget, to wipe the pain from your mind instead of facing it.
To continue is to realize you have lied to yourself, that you must remember.
To be mindful is to finally live, live without baggage, not to forget but to understand.
@Paradox it just a ending for the player to understand the game plot
@Paradox Being mindful is the character realizing that even the "real" parts of the game (the father talking to him) aren't actually real, and that he is with a therapist and cannot truly forget it all as much as he tries.
It is him understanding that he needs to move on.

This game honestly blew me away with every new scenario and the new details that kept being added to the story. I’m learning to be a game developer in college, and this game will have a impact on me for how stories can be told differently through gaming. You don’t need big events and nice graphics to tell a good story. My hope is that I can get into a good game studio and make games with good stories.
The fact this takes place in mostly one setting is amazing to me. You don’t need hundreds of settings or great graphics to tell a story. You have to search, click, think, and listen to hints the game tell you. That was makes this game just brilliant.
I am sure you can do something like this too

What do you mean? He's just wearing your every day men's cargo pants
In the third ending, what's heard on the radio while they have dinner are the tangos "Volver" ('Coming back' maybe being a reference of the loop and the decision that the protagonist takes), "Por una cabeza" (that speaks of the miraculous luck of dodging the policeman and almost getting caught) and last, "El día que me quieras" (meaning 'The day you'll love me', when they're in bed). The game is so detailed...

So to me "Continue" and "Mindfulness" are the 2 true endings. In Continue, you just forget about everything and move on with your life, forgetting that you even loved your sister in the first place. The Mindfulness ending seems like a continuation of the Alone ending. You move on with your life, but you choose not to forget what happened. But you go and see a therapist to help you work through it all. And that's the voice you hear at the end of the Mindfulness ending
When that guy is the best partner you ever had,but he's your brother 😅😂😥
They were such a cute married couple until you realize they're siblings 😅😂
"tell her your her brother" that had me ngl
The Confession ending is weird, I feel the wife should have said more. The cop says infront of her that he is her brother and she doesn't react, then the husband gives up the watch that the wife hid but the wife doesn't blink an eye that he somehow has it on him?
There is an alternative in which the wife is the one explaining everything to the man and finally gives him the watch because she felt sorry for his daughter.
Well this is all in The guys head so he has full control over what everyone says inside his own subconscious
I wasted 4 hours trying to advance, idk i had
to look AT THE FUCKING WATCH OMG!!!
same thing happend to me but with one line i had to discover, if it wasnt for those things this game would be a 10/10
Fr me too i was loosing my mind
I didnt know i could open the present without sitting down and getting it givin to me. Tried dragging it to the player, combining it with a knife both of which didnt work. Then figured out you can just tap it to use it. Wow
And after that i already knew about the nannys relation so spent like 2 hours stuck on how to tell the wife we're probabaly having a joffrey lannister.
The only ending where you need to look at the watch is the secret endings where the room is all empty. Unless you did what Penguinz0 did and accidenrtly stumbled upon the secret ending.
18:00 my mans was hyped up couldn’t wait to get inna room🤣
If I made an ending for this game it would end like this:
The father gets the pocketwatch back & turns the dial back to the day his daughter introduces her fiancé to him. He recognises him at once & confesses everything, he insists that they must end the relationship for their own sakes, but by all means stay in touch as the brother & sister they ought to be. Of course both adult children are shocked to hear this but they do take the father's advice, thus preventing the incestuous pregnancy from occuring.

*Hitman kills wife*
Man: Itches nose
In the final scene, sometimes the cop/father has hair, and sometimes he doesn't. I can't tell if its a bug or just something related to the plot.
father, not cop
@@bodyz111 Since the story was all in the protagonist mind then the cop was probably the father as well, in a way. I mean…they had the same voice for a reason
Now, that I suffered more than 6 hours in this game, I can finally say I hated it. I hated that game pretends to be non linear while it is so linear that if you do something the game doesn't want you to do, it punishes you immediately, and you have to restart. I hated that the game is breaking its own rules constantly, with the damaged light switch for example. I mean by this that the cop always check the bedroom looking for you, but not when he already cuffed your wife. He just finds you instantly in the closet. I hated that for every problem in the game, there is only one solution, while logically there should be multiple. I hated the ton of logical mistakes (the cop guy kills you almost every time without any reason basically). He even kills you after your wife is proven to be innocent, if you want to talk to him! I hated that I had to restart over and over and over and over again just to do exact same things I did before. I hated that all this happened just to experience a 5/10 story. I hated that the "real" ending is the worst and the most depressing one (alone). There are very few things that I didn't hate in this game, really.
Cry
You know what? I agree. The idea is good but the execution could be a million times better
Solid points
I agree, solid points
I couldn't even finish it, it pissed me off and I played about 5 maybe 6 hours for the same reasons you stated.
The idea for the game is great, but unfortunately the story of the game sucks big time. Lazily written and illogical.
Is there any justification for the story being lazily written or you're just saying that?
@@shadeis9276 The “nothing was ever real” kind of plot is really weak and
clichéd. Literally everything that happened in the game doesn't matter because it wasn't real. They could've gone with just the murder mystery plot and it would've been more interesting and more satisfying endings
@@Falahh25 A person named queb commented their lengthy interpretation of the story's plot on this video and I think they got it almost spot on. I suggest you take a look at it because I don't think it's JUST 'nothing is ever real so it doesnt matter anyway'. The half-siblings love for each other and the father's disapproval of their love is real, and since the brother's love for the sister was too strong, he cannot let it go and he tried to cope by creating scenarios of a life with the sister in his head which is shown in the game. All of the characters and endings in the game was a metaphor of the brother's perception to the whole situation like the cop being his disapproving father. I like the game because the story is not as straightforward as like this person wants to kill this person because this person wants to avenge this person. After finishing the game, I felt like I missed something and I came looking for explanations and to my surprise the story was much deeper than just a cop kills girl for watch and money OR it was just a hypnosis in the brother's head. The game was trying to take the psychological thriller route for the story and I think they convey that really well.
@@Falahh25 why do you assume nothing was real? You so realize that the watch can turn back time right?
Man, can you imagine the next time-loop game will have a city (just like Groundhog Day) instead of small apartment with three rooms only?
That would be fun
There's a game called Deathloop.
I mean if they could somehow speed up the things you already did so you're not doing the same time over and over again, otherwise I would just be annoyed by the game.
For something similar though, check out Outer Wilds. It's exactly the same only it's an entire solar system, not just a city. A tiny solar system but still a system with planets and a sun that you have to visit and figure out the mystery while the sun goes supernova over and over again and resets everything.
There's actually a groundhog day VR game that's set up as a sequel to the movie, its pretty good.
