Who said 'Ugly' had to be a bad thing? This game was anything but! 😁 It's a real treat for puzzle fans, reminding me of 'Hue' with its unique mechanics. This video covers all the puzzle rooms of part 1, 2 and 3! Totally enjoyed this game - even though sometimes I had to take a pillow and scream.

So, I personally theorize that after the fire, the Father dissociated, and deliberately took on the identity of the Son--a victim--to hide from his many sins and to "embrace" his inner uglyness. Much like how he forced the mask onto him. Sort of reflected in the bosses. The Bandaged represents his injury, as well as his focus on the surface...but also how he saw himself upon drinking the poison. The Covering represents him painting over the portraits, and the golden mask...but also his desperation to find a new image/identity. He emulates his resentful son's chalk drawings, by painting over himself. The Crystal represents his violence, and destroying the mirrors, and the act of breaking the mirror that started the fire... but also him refusing to introspect, and taking a hard look at himself. The glass shards hurt the reflection, because introspection proves his victim persona to b a fabrication. The Gatekeeper represents him locking himself in the palace, and isolating himself...but also him trying to lock away the parts of his psyche that hurt so much. His guilt, shame, and realization of how hideous he is. The Poisoned represents him drinking himself into a stupor, and numbing himself...but also him deliberately forgetting who he was, and diving into his victim persona.

Spoilers The father being the main character is foreshadowed at 1:08 because he was highly egotistical and this is his first time seeing what he looks like. If this was his son he wouldn’t be shocked since the son is most likely used to looking like that

Loved the detail that the son & father wear the same blue suit, but that red blazer father wears in memories almost hides it everytime, something you notice on replays.

There was little to no dialogue in this game, and yet the story is conveyed thoroughly. The lore, the trauma, and especially the plot twists are revealed slowly, right on time, which satiates the curiosity

Here’s the story from what I gathered: The story is about a nobleman (let’s call him Jeff) who during a party accidentally knocks over a candlestick and starts a fire. He survives the fire but is badly burned as a result, Jeff had always been obsessed with his looks, and had difficulty adjusting to his new lifestyle. The bosses in the game represent the stages of his self hatred. The first one represents the time he spent wrapped in bandages while healing, leaving poor Jeff bedridden wondering if he’ll even survive. The second boss is after Jeff removes his bandages and wears healing ointment, he begins to form a hatred to his new self, using the same ointment to smear out his face in paintings. The third boss is Jeff removing all of the mirrors in his mansion by breaking them with a sledgehammer (which the boss uses as well). The forth boss is when Jeff tires of his own family members and servants looking at his new “ugly” self, so he locks himself in an iron mask and cuts off all contact with the outside. Finally, the fifth boss represents Jeff’s descent into alcoholism after he can’t take the depression and self hatred anymore, spending each and every day in a drunken stupor. The whole game takes place in Jeff’s psyche as he goes on a journey for acceptance. For those confused about the drawings, it’s simple. Jeff is who we see him as after the fire, the “dad” is what Jeff wants to be, or his bad side getting the better of him. He sees himself now as weak and childlike whereas his previous self was godlike and inquisitive. we even see Jeff’s mom (or wife idk) try to get Jeff to accept himself after the fire, but at some point she dies, leading Jeff to even more despair. His old self did terrible things such as kill Jeff’s dog, berate himself and his family, and pin the blame on everything on Jeff’s “ugliness”. Unfortunately no matter what path the player takes, Jeff is doomed to repeat his journey over and over again due to the fact that he can’t come to terms with what happened and can’t accept that fact that he is “ugly” forever. Hopefully in a dlc or something Jeff can finally get the closure he needs.

Actually if you pay attention to the guy playing piano at the end (2:53:17) his face is burned and he looks like the protagonist (both are blonde and their noses are similar). He should be the son that wore the mask. There is one memory that the father (protagonist) heats up the mask to weld it to the face of the son, this explains the burned face of the piano guy at the end. Also, the girl next to him, I believe she is the daughter of the protagonist, she also appears on some memories. I say this because the noses of both siblings and the protagonist are very similar, and this girl has a close relation to the son according to the memories.

I don’t think he knocked over the flames by accident. From I saw of the cutscene before the flame battle, one of the maids tried to poison but it didn’t work. He was still suffering from the poison but when he got to the mirror he saw an ugly version of himself. Angry and scared by this he used the candle stand to smash the mirror which started the fire.

Does ANYONE know how to beat the one secret room without the cheap method of jumping over the holes in the ground? Look, it’s great that you’ve found an easier way, but for the life of me I can’t get it to work and every walkthrough does the same thing. How do I get the boxes down? I’ve been trying for days.

2:22:53 I’m assuming you’re talking about this timestamp. Put a mirror on top of the 1st box. Use the deep hole on the left to do reflection jumps until you can reach the very top box. You will have to zig-zag (from right, left, and then right) to dodge the platforms. Depending on the height of your jumps, it will take 2 to 3 “zig-zag-jumps” to make it to the top. P.S. Putting the mirror on the box may not be necessary, but I did it for extra height. You can also drop the 2nd box on top of the 1st for added effect, but setting this up takes longer than I prefer.
