It means slightly different thing for different people, precisely because people are different. It's said that great art is only a torso, requiring the spectator to add a part of himself to complete the piece, aand this is a perfect example. I think that the ambiguity and the unclear nature of the story is a part of the beauty of the game. Perhaps the creator did not even have a coherent story in mind and just wanted to draw cool ♥♥♥♥, then sort of rearranged it in a way that could be interpreted as a journey. The old man dies serenely, ascending to some heaven/nirvana type thing.ĮDIT: Ultimately I thinkk this is the type of game designed to allow fans to speculate over it forever. Having the old man gone through this journey of self rediscovery, the dragon now finally accepts its sacrifice and releases him of pain. He comes to terms with his experience and rearranges his thoughts, and since at the end we see the boy going through the rest of the book, finding blood and suffering in it, as the last piece needed to complete the puzzle, the old man comes to realize the only way to truly appease the dragon is through pain and surmounting it. He starts to obsess about giving it gifts, but the creature turns it down, cripples the boy and quite possibly destroys his city/the world (I assume him to be the root cause of all the devastation in some pictures in the last chapter).Īs to the old man burning up, I think it's more like achieving peace after coming to terms with your life.Īll the last chapter is is the old man going back through his memories and rearranging things. Here's my two cents: the boy sees the creature and reads up on it. I don't see the old man disappearing as burning up in the sun. If you're still reading this thread, I'd be interested in your thoughts. Death? Final agony before enlightenment? Symbol of his burning desire?

It made me sad that the old man burns to the sun, like the moth to the flame, and I don't know how to interpret it. The old man gets the color red from the blood of the boy's chains in the book.) He is rewarded by the creature, who fully shows himself for the first time. (For instance, the boy got the red fruit just by accident thanks to a bird. The old man looks back on his life, sees what went wrong, rearranges pieces, returns the color to the black fruits in a different way. In the first picture of the creature the boy finds in the book the bowl is carried by both the boy and the old man, so my guess is the wisdom and insight of the mature self are needed before the offerings are accepted. The creature refuses the boy's offerings (and by doing so cripples him, I think). I have a different interpretation of the ending. And the frustration when he has achieved nothing and overturns the table. Especially in the third part, with the many religious symbols, like the candle, bell, images of monks, a rosary, offerings and sacrifices, the boy climbing forever, the mountain. I agree with you that the desire to find the creature feels like the boy/man is searching for enlightenment. It's more of an emotional experience, recognizing something, hard to put into words. So much is left out that I am not sure I understand what story the developer wanted to tell. The second time I paid more attention to all the little details, which made the story even more confusing for me. I played the game twice and the first time I was focussed on the puzzles. Now get your wallet out cause you just made a coin! (not literally, the boy has no wallet.I too was left with a feeling of sadness. Once you have zoomed in far enough, place the panel with the ring over the old gentleman's face. Click on the single ring near the center of the page. The top page of the calendar illustrates a skeleton wearing multiple rings.
Then, pan right and click on the calendar hanging from the wall. Next, you'll have to zoom out of the watering pail panel and back to the middle-aged man's house. At the end of the scene, zoom out one more time to reveal a view of the gentleman's face inside a yellow-tinted window. When you do so, instead of arriving back at the young man's home, you will enter the home of an old gentleman. So, let's start there.įirst, zoom out from the panel with the book spine. To do that, you're going to need some change to cover the cost. Therefore, before you can focus on anything else, you need to get on the train.
