It shows that, much like Knoth himself, even though the cultists crazy, they sincerely did have deep sorrow and remorse at killing their own children, whom by all accounts they sincerely loved even if they honestly thought they had to kill them in order to save the world. Couples and friends died holding each other for comfort, and two couples died beside photographs of their children. If you inspect these bodies closely, you will see little details that make it heartbreaking, even in spite of everything the cultists have done.

The final area is littered with bodies of the cultists who have apparently committed suicide due to having failed to prevent what they see as the birth of the antichrist.

In the end his only recourse is to kill himself. All the evil was for nothing, and what's more the god he followed has abandoned him. He realizes that despite doing everything that his visions told him to do, despite all that he's sacrificed, despite believing and obeying so completely that he murdered all of his own children, he still wasn't able to prevent the end of the world.

Disgusting and cruel though he was, Knoth's final moments count as this.

And to make it even worse, the teacher got away with it all. And no one but Blake apparently ever found out. Depending on interpretation, she dies in the arms of Blake or when the teacher tries to hide his vile acts as he makes her death look like suicide by hanging. Blake leaves her alone with him despite her pleading and when she runs away, she falls down the stairs (or gets pushed). She got sexually molested multiple times by her pedophile teacher, might have been jealous of Blake and Lynn kissing in the drama, then get scared by her teacher wanting to 'pray' with her. She was apparently getting beaten by her father, he didn't allow her anything to the point where she forged his signature in hopes of being allowed to participate in school activities. It's heavily implied that he sees in his newborn child (if she's real) the chance for him to atone for failing to protect Jessica all those years ago.

It should be mentioned at this point that Blake is holding what may or may not be his daughter in his arms.

The fact that it is titled 'She Will Never Die' is also incredibly sad, since for Blake, her memory and her death never left him.īlake: She's going to be okay.

There's also Blake's final recording where he is presumably talking about Jessica.

The only survivor in the game is Blake, and the poor man's been rendered to a catatonic mess. Knoth slits his throat, Marta is Impaled with Extreme Prejudice, Lynn suffers Death by Childbirth, everyone in the town commits suicide, and, as the Murkoff building apparently exploded, everyone in there is dead, too.

Everyone in the entire game except for Blake dies at the end.

The fact that this affects Blake into adulthood as it is shown that he still feels guilty for being unable to protect her.

He finds her dead or heavily injured at the bottom of a stairwell, and her body is later set up by Loutermilch to make it look like she hung herself. Blake gets a dose of Bystander Syndrome and lets Jessica be taken away, only to double back upon hearing her screams. He threatens to call Blake's parents and tell them he was staying after school, before trying to take Jessica away. Upon staying after school to mess about, they're caught by Father Loutermilch, a priest who staffs the school. They were good friends at a Catholic school, and Jessica even helped out with Blake and Lynn becoming close.

Jessica and Blake's story is so sad that it still bothers Blake well into his adult life.

The scene of finding the dead children in the pit is worse in the demo, as Blake's voice is clearly shaking in disbelief and horror.

The downright disturbing amount of child death, both implied and the aftermath being shown to the player is just tragic, and the kind of terror these kids must have went through on a daily basis once they learned they were going to be killed is incredibly sad.

The crisis of faith doesn't last, as her mind eventually breaks under the microwaves from across the lake, later than the others but much more brutally, turning her into a barely-human rapist who fantasizes about the same crimes she used to detest. She played father to several children whose parents were sent off to the Scalled camp, only to have to kill them later, and she has an inner turmoil at the fact that of all the voices she hears calling for blood, God's isn't one of them. They show her slow descent into madness, as although she followed Knoth for a time, she was extremely conflicted and disgusted with the things the cult was doing.
