The fact the main antagonist's name is "Madison" is actually hilarious when you know the historical context of that name. Obviously, it is a last name, notably of President James Madison. But the name being used as a first name was unheard of until the 1984 movie "Splash" debuted, wherein a mermaid chooses her name by seeing the sign for Madison Avenue in NYC. It was this movie that began the popularization of the name "Madison" as a first name for girls. So either this game's titular "Madison" had parents well ahead of their time, OR, she saw Splash, became a huge fan, and started calling herself Madison to be more like the pretty blonde mermaid. It was the latter, in my head canon. Evil to the core, but still a huge mermaid fan.

The thing that made me confused is how Blue Knees is introduced to this game. We know that Madison has a connection to Luca because he has her camera which I'm assuming the camera is a conduit to use Luca to "finish the job" which she wasn't able to complete the sacrifice so she used Luca to essentially do her dirty work to transfer her soul and possess him and be immortal. and maybe Blue Knees might be a Demon of some sort because Luca's grandfather even admitted that Blue Knees was real. And he regrets not believing his wife then. Madison might be sacrificing her victims for her witchcraft and supposedly conjured up 'Blue Knees' the demon while she went of a killing rampage to take down her victims and the book was just used as an innocent children's book to make it seem like some paranormal witchcraft shit lol Madison wasn't able to finish her sacrifice because the officer shot her. And that's where Luca comes in to the picture? Because he was in possession of her item which made him repeat what she started and end the sacrificial body transfer so she could continue more killings for Blue Knees the Demon? Was wondering what ever happened to his father though? Had hoped the story could have shared more on what happened to his fate. Overall I thought it was a brilliant game. The visuals and sound effects were top notch! Scared the bejesus out of me for sure!

nothing related but u have a very nice voice ☺just finished the game and i was a bit confused how both demons connect to each other. Also u said that madison used the camera to possess Luca but thats not true bc he gets it after he has killed his sister and his mother right the game starts with his dad yelling at him bc he killed his family and saying the priest was right and then he finds the camera in his grandpas house. i think when the grandpa tried to contact his wife he ended up bringing madison spirit back that then possessed Luca? obviously theres some type of connection between his grandpa and madison.. And then theres the second demon, blue knees which went for the grandma and Luca's dad after they bought the book home. So gets a bit confusing why Luca ended up having both demons after him at the same time but anyways i loved it gotta be one of my fav games of the year and i hope they come with a second game! very nicely made game

Then they tried to shoehorn Blue Knees into the plot. People are coming up with theories that Madison wanted to use Blue Knees’ body in the exchange ritual, and that Albert summoned Madison through the locket. But I don’t think that’s the case at all.

I think that madison was bought to the house via the silver locket. Many methologies suggest that supernatural beings such as vampires and demons need an invitation to enter houses, the silver locket could be such an invitation. I think this idea is supported as it links to how blue knees was invited when the family bought its book home. The need for ashes was already fulfilled as the urn of luca's grandma was present in the ritual (the thing you replace the camera with).

My theory is the demon isn't Hale or even Blue Knees. It's just a nameless/faceless evil spirit. The demon possesses Blue Knees (likely through a cursed object). Blue Knees resists doing the ritual but leaves behind a cursed thing which goes on to curse person after person until Hale. Hale acquires a cursed object and becomes possessed. She is weak and attempts the ritual on the demon's behalf. She only gets halfway through before dying. She leaves behind a couple of cursed objects. During the Hale Estate Sale, Elizabeth buys cursed book for Johnny and cursed camera for Albert. For some reason the cursed camera curses Elizabeth instead of Albert. Johnny is haunted but resists the ritual. Elizabeth resists the ritual and dies. Cursed camera is gifted to Luca as an heirloom. Luca becomes cursed. Luca is weak and does the ritual. Demon takes over Luca's body. The gasp where Luca comes back to "life" is the demon taking its first breath in the mortal plane. Fun fact: The woman and her Nazi husband were Madison's parents. They were likely cursed by the demon. She was only 7 when her mom killed her dad, and doesn't remember his face. She only remembers him as the "gas chamber man mommy stabbed", which is why he manifests with a gas mask and knife in his neck.

Technically 3 antagonists, if you count Hans? And they all kind of had the same scare mechanics, glitching in and out of view, which effective but admittedly there are other ways to be scary. The disconnected stories and characters was kind of the one thing that bothered me about the game. I wish they had picked one antagonist to persist the player within the house (Blue Knees stole the show based off all the thumbnails tbh). But I was thinking and hear me out: what if there was a kind of connection between the three? Hans committed a man-made evil, no paranormal intervention needed. Madison was motivated by witchcraft, for whatever purpose, and that essentially turned her into a serial killer, therefore a supernatural man-made evil if you will. But then there's Blue Knees, a purely paranormal phenomenon. He isn't connected to someone living or dead, like Madison, Luca, or anyone, and unlike Madison he's not possessing anyone (maybe the book tho). It seems he only shows up if a person is unfortunate to read his story through. I've no idea if this theme was anyone's intention on the development team, but that's the only kind of thread I can discern between the three important events where something tries to un-alive you. Regardless, fantastic game and I hope they make more like it.

I think it's only 1 antagonist - the demon. And I think that demon posessed madison and isn't actually her. It just passed onto you through the camera which she had close to her while dying. The demon might have died with her if it didn't latch itself onto the camera. Hans doesn't appear until somebody tells you a story about him with a vague explanation from which you could imagine what he might look like. Same with blue knees - it doesn't appear until you read a book about it which describes its appearance, even though you find multiple clues about it's existance before that. So I believe the demon just takes forms of beings from your imagination just to mindfuck you.

Whether or not Blue Knees was the same antagonist as Madison is debatable. After all, didn't the book come into Johnny's hands while she was still alive? Still, she could have been possessed by Hans.

Blue Knees originally possessed Madison to carry out the seven rituals, and since he wanted to have a human body, Luca ended up being that. It is weird that Madison and BK seem to appear as two different entities which I agree doesn't make sense, but from what I can see, BK possessed Madison, then went into Luca's body. Maybe Madison and BK appearing as two different things is just a way for the player to understand the lore better?

This is the short version of what I originally had lol. Seeing as this game is influenced by religion. I think whatever possessed Madison is directly related to “Blue Knees”, and ultimately all started at the St. Jupiter's Cathedral. 13 people had died while the church was being constructed. Which in biblical terms. The number 13 is the sign of a devil and evil. Seeing as the church could be looked at as a beacon of evil? I’d say that it’s possible demons had latched on to certain people/things associated with the church’s community. I believe that “Blue Knees” was a demon attached to the book. That had started to possess Elizabeth in order to start its body exchange ritual. By stealing her ring as a sentimental offering. After she passed.. Albert tried reaching out to her in the afterlife which may have reawaken the demon. Which is why the book kept returning. Assuming he owned the camera originally. He also got rid of that based off what he saw in the photos, or the lack there of. If he gave it to the priest? The priest could have given it to Madison. Which then possessed her to carry on with the ritual. May be important to know, but Madison was 43 when this went down. 4+3=7. 7 bodies to sacrifice. Anyways. The camera sat for 30 years until someone new acquired it. Which may have been the priest… Luca received it as a “gift” for his 16th birthday. 1+6=7. Again 7 bodies to sacrifice. Throughout the tapes the priest is incredibly knowledgeable about this particular thing and urges one to “obey” the demons demands. Which will only encourage the possession to take place. As Luca does this? He recovers the rest of what the ritual needs so that the demon can finally take control of a human vessel. I think it’s possible that demons had possessed the priests of the church in order to bring hell on earth. I mean they held Madison’s wake at their church like she was a big influence there. Honestly though.. Who the hell knows. For all we know Elizabeth may have been related to Madison. Maybe we’ll know more with the DLC.

Oh, I had missed some stuff and your video helped me clarify some lose ends. Nice. While listening I came up with a theory that might explain some things. See, it doesn't make sense that Madison could have had anything to do with Blue Knees, or Luca's house, because of the time gaps, right? BUT... Luca travels between three different times using the camera. So... maybe the story isn't in linear time. Maybe Madison could do the same thing. Maybe she targeted Luca because she knew, through her travel or visions, that he was susceptible. That the house was already contaminated with a demonic entity. Maybe she even created Blue Knees (tulpa style) to make sure fear and evil took root in the house. Maybe Nancy offed Hans in that house too (idk, seems weird that Hans is in a whole segment of the game if he's not connected beyond his wife confessing in the church), and the place has been polluted by violence and horrors for a long time. So Madison knew that Luca, being sensitive to spirits like his grandma and dad, would grow up in that nasty house influenced by its evil. And made sure somehow that he received her camera. She just had to wait. She had the perfect victim in the perfect environment. Madison practiced witchcraft. Witches can be very resourceful. I know it's not a perfect theory but works for me.

He wanted to transmute to a body so he could see again, so he possessed the witch Madison in order to start the ritual. She was killed by a cop after 4 victims. As a witch, Madison’s ghost was then able to possess Luca through the conduit camera she used as she was dismembering her victims. This was so she could finish the ritual for Blue Knees to transmute to a human body. A huge theme, was everyone was in pursuit of something precious they lost. Blue Knees lost his eyes, Elizabeth her jewelry, Johnny his now dead wife who he tried to contact, Luca his sanity.

Okay so if I'm getting this right, the game ends on a very bizarre note; An innocent teenage boy is possessed by a long dead serial killer through a seemingly harmless camera and kills himself to finish a bloody hell satanic sacrifice? What the f**** is wrong with the earth now?💀

The Maxwell family came into possession of the book (and probably the camera as well) from a "garage sale" (Elizabeth's diary). In the newspaper scraps (wall next to Ritual Room) it mentions the Hale family having an "estate sale". I'm assuming someone bought the camera in the estate sale, and later sold it in a garage sale. Elizabeth would've had no idea they previously belonged to a serial killer.

I've come to believe that you need more subscribers cause this is perfect! Also, it confused me on why they had to add Hans. I understand that they had to have Antagonist Variety but Hans doesn't seem to have any relation to Madison, Blue Knees, and etc. At first I believed that Hans' wife was related to Madison or something but idek anymore. I am not sure if it's random or I am missing something.

The theory about Madison living the house before the Maxwell family despite her murders taking place in the 80’s while the family lived there since at least the 70’s is fucking hilarious. Like who comes up with a theory like that? How does someone play a game, read the dated diary entries and reports and then come up with that impossible idiotic theory that ignores literally every recorded event on the game? It boggles the mind 🤣

Well I think that Blue Knees was the OG demon who initially possessed Madison, to kill 7 people and complete the ritual to get control of her body. Some logical arguments 1) Why would Madison herself want to possess someone else's body while she was still alive and had her own life to achieve whatever goals or finish whatever unfinfished matters she wanted to. 2) Due to the ritual partially completed by Madison, blue knees was kinda attached to Madison's soul and had to wait till her camera, gets an owner, which is Luca in this case. Basically, Blue Knees wanted to possess Madison's body, but as he could only kill 4 people while possessing her, he waited untill Luca gets the camera and would make use of Madison's soul to haunt Luca and make him complete the rest of the ritual by killing the remaining three people which are his mom, sister and lastly his dad who was later replaced by Luca. 3) As for why Blue Knees did not possess the grandma, I guess he did not wanted to take the risk again. He would have had to possess her and again kill 7 people, performing the ritual all over again, and there was a high chance of the grandma getting caught just like Madison. So he waited, while remaining attached to the camera along with Madison's soul to finally use the new owner to complete the leftover ritual which Madison wasn't able to complete. 4) There are two conduits here that allows blue knees to interact with the world of living, the book and the camera. The story book was not associated with Madison's ritual, so possessing the grandma would have caused blue knees to completely perform the ritual newly from the start. Then comes the next conduit, the camera, it was already associated with Madison's ritual, her soul was bound to it and therefore, made it possible for the ritual to be continued through the camera. Completing an incomplete ritual was a much favourable choice for blue knees, which avoided restarting the ritual from scratch, and also the host from being caught as a result of suspicion. Plus, 1987 was relatively modern era, so forensic and investigation techniques were developed enough to find that the grandma was the killer even before 7 sacrifices were made, given that Blue Knees possessed the grandma and restarted the ritual from scratch. 5) As for why the grandpa was not possessed, here is a possible explanation, He lost his wife due to the ongoing hauntings Blue knees was doing to her, because why not. It is clearly mentioned in the game that these entities feed off of humans and entertain themselves with our fear so it was just natural to it. There was no merit in possessing the grandpa through the camera as the grandpa was now aware of the demon's existence. Plus only John and himself were left which would only make up for 2 scarifices considering the grandpa killed himself after sacrificing his son in case he got possessed. Again, blue knees could not risk killing anyone from outside and get his host caught. So he waited till the family expanded, and chose Luca, because why not? Teens and youngsters are more susceptible to fear and trauma compared to mature adults. Luca was the perfect chess piece. I believe Chanel was too young and would have passed out from the trauma instead of solving the riddles and completing the puzzles in that house. As the only person who knew about its existence, the grandpa, had passed away and John not taking the letter left by his father seriously, made things even easier for blue knees. There was no chance of anyone getting suspicious (like who with a rational and logical mind even consider supernatural stuff to be the cause of something in the first place untill they witness it themselves first hand) so that they call any exorcist or an expert making Luca the best host and also providing the perfect timing to make use of him. Well, that is what I think. One hell of a crafty demon I must say! What we can learn from this is that always plan your actions. Take your time like Blue knees planning things and you will be successful. Just, dont go using this lesson for accomplishing bad things, i would not suggest that :).

Blue knees was brought by grandparents through the book and tries to get his eyes from them and johnny, luca's dad. He fails so then madisons family purchases house after grandparents pass or whatever, afflicts madison and uses her as a conduit to conduct the witchcrafting since the granddad was already dabbling in it as well. She kills her parents and two others and dies and her soul is basically prisoner to blue eyes bidding. johnny buys back his grandparents home, moves in with his family (Luca, sister, wife) and now Luca gets possessed by both entities, and kills his mom and sister hence the blood on his hands. He completes the ritual finding out the truth about his grandparents and father and is sacrificed to blue eyes so that he can finally have eyes to see and a body to play while luca's soul is trapped in the picture and hell with madison's as well. IDK why Luca's dad would want to move back there after the madison murders especially having the trauma he dealt with blue eyes younger but yeah i blame the father johnny because he shouldve moved else. i get its your dads house but he should've known it was cursed after the madison murders. great story, well put together. they should make a movie about this just because the plot is rather good but they need the dev team to be producers on the movie.

I don’t really get the connection between blue knees and Madison other than the fact that they are both tormenting the same people. Maybe I’m missing something but seems like kinda lazy writing. They couldn’t just commit to one main villain. Either way, really scary game. Just finished it on psvr2 yesterday and my heart rate is still through the roof 😅

The impression I'm given is that Luca hanged himself so that, while the ritual would be completed and allow Madison full possession of his body, she would immediately die upon doing so since he was still being hanged.

1. Madison corrupted by demon/satan, perform ritual for him to enter real world 2. Madison failed and was in half way, dead and soul trapped in camera, possess anyone who use it 3. Luca's father bought the camera as a gift to Luca, Luca got possessed and killed mom/sis. 4. Father locked Luca, Madison continue manipulating Luca to complete her unfinished ritual 5. Grandfather was once friend/play with Blue knees when was a kid, grandmother dead might be due to Madison's job, Blue knees story book was just coincidence and became scapegoat for grandmother's tragic 6. Blue knees appearing in later part and main objective is to interrupt Madison's ritual, to protect grandfather from behead 7. The drawing change to son's hanging, which Luca at the end hang himself to protect his father. (Blue knees succeed) 8. At the end last captured photo dropped on floor with blackened, maybe there is part 2 for the story?
