Gamers' alley


Since the stupid Wikis and websites will not allow me to say EXACTLY whatever I want to say, I've put this up.

My first post is the back-story of the game "SCRATCHES" finally summed together.

What I've been able to put together is how the Blackwood family REALLY was:
  1. The dead child, "ROBIN Blackwood", was actually not dead, and hidden by Dr. Milton and James. He had birth defects (which apparently shows a Golem-like appearance.)
  2. At the very end of the Last Visit, an old man comes in the door and confirms that the weird guy is indeed the "dead" child, and even gives him a hug! Awww... :) The old man (James) says that he wanted to see his son before dying.
  3. There are two thing's I can't place together, though: If Catherine blackwood was buried in the garden, and James is still alive, what was the explanation for the person already in the crypt? A dummy?
  4. And who was the scary-looking zombie-man in the basement? Dr. Milton?
You should be able to know this if you played the Director's cut bonus level "The last visit".

Edit: Question 3 is confirmed: The person in the crypt is Dr. Milton's body. The scratching sounds are probably the wild cats living underground.

I rate the 3 games as follows:
  • SCRATCHES is first place because of how different it is,
  • RHEM 2 is 2nd because i like its puzzles, but hate all the backtracking I have to do,
  • Penumbra overture is 3rd because sure, it's an action game, but it's not as fun as Half-Life because there aren't any guns in it.

If anyone has ideas to share, feel free to comment!
