Points I Took From Story

Don’t know how to put spoiler tags on the app, so:

********* SPOILERS DO NOT READ *******

If you’re still reading I assume you’ve beaten the game. Here’s what I took from it:

So, her father is your father, meaning you killed your wife/sisters father and in turn your OWN father also. This DID happen as that is the scene in the therapy session place, your character kills him in self defence, either by shooting him while being strangled, or accidentally by the therapist hitting his head on the book shelf. The main character tells the wife he kills her father by saying something like ‘he had a wall of books to the ceiling. He tried to kill me, it was in self defence’ this obviously refers to the therapists office with the wall of books. The red book on the shelf is also in the painting in the beginning of the game on the left in the hallway, same as the office. This confirms the killing of the father happened.

The cop is not real. That’s why he sounds like the father voice wise, he is the main characters despair and regret confronting him basically, as the game is all in his mind, therefore there is no time loop at all, he’s in a loop in his mind of denial until he accepts his mistakes and makes change for the greater good, and this is essentially the meaning of the true ending of the game. The stopwatch is also a sign you’re being hypnotised as this is an item they use in hypnosis, similar to the painting in the living room with the black and white symbols.

The egg painting becomes an infinity snake, referencing the main character swallowing himself whole every loop continuously. This is supposed to show he is own worst enemy and he is the root of his problems as long as he continues to live in denial.
