Visage Story: Player's POV

Player's POV of Storyline of Visage:

According to the Comic book, Lucy's death was happened in 1961. In 1962, a family with a kid lived in the mansion and I assume that it's Dolores and George. In 1965, Rose mentioned her neighbour in name of ''Lewis'', Lewis Taylor. In 1970, Rakan came and In 1985, Rose killed her husband, Frank, in the bathtub and called Dwayne.

In Dolores's chapter, the conversation of kitchen appliances revealed that anyone who had lived here was f**ked up anyway. That's why I assume that Dolores wasn't the first family of that mansion and the similar case had happened before.

In Rakan's chapter, Rakan was suffering from 'Scopophobia' and he always feels that someone is watching him tho he lives alone. That someone might be 'Rose' who always keeps an eye on her neighbour. In the hospital, we can hear some info from the conversation of Dr. Tim & Dr. Smith; Rakan's neighbour called the police and she said that she saw Rakan was searching for something on the bookshelf. Who's gonna be that neighbour?? Bingo, ROSE!! Of course, I don't deny that Rakan was seeing 'things' in the house and he was over reacting to his hallucinations or paranormal activities because of his phobia and anixiety. After the treatment, Rakan's condition was worse. Then he tried to hurt the staff and commit suicide by jumping from the hospital's window. But he didn't die and broke his legs. After that suicidal attempt, the hospital decided to treat him with Operation, the lobotomy (Transorbital?). We can see Rakan on the Operation tabel on the cut scene. After the Lobotomy, he was not so agitated for months and recovered gradually. Then doctors decided to let him go to home. We can see Rakan with or without crutches in the hospital during the gameplay which means before or after suicidal attempt. When he came back home, he started to see things again his anxiety came back. We can see someone behind the door and it looks like 'George', Dolores' husband.  May be I'm right or wrong.  😁

Ok guys. Lucy, Dolores and Rakan, all of them became worse after the treatment. Lucy didn't recognize her Mom after the injection. Dolores didn't know George and her own child after the treatment. All of them are because of the drug, LSD on which Dwayne worked on the project MKUltra since April 1952. We can see writing 'Changing The World Today' on the red ribbon above the mirror in the chemistry Lab in which Dwayne worked.  On the board, we can also see the chemical structure of LSD and its action on human body. The drug was tested on community without knowing via the water. That's why the Water Treatment Plant Industy was appeared in the game where Lewis Taylor worked. And in the VHS tape 'Affliction', Dwayne could see numerous human bodies in the black water. The dead apple tree, well, dark water all indicate the lifeless, community sufferings and polluted water. You guys definitely remember the contract 'You don't give a f***', signed by Dwayne Anderson. Though the project was completely cancelled in 1973, Dwayne still felt bad for what he done to the community. He lived in his guilt, agony, hatred, depression, grief, anxiety, etc.

He and his family moved to the mansion in 1980s, I think as we can see the measuring of Sarah's Height in the dining room started from Sep 83. Well, there were other families moved into the mansion before Dwayne as we can see Michael and Santa photo with the others... Gradually Dwayne saw 'things' and he started using drugs and alcohol to reduce his anxiety. He act indifference to his family and he didn't care. He lived in his domain. We can hear some words from masked man, ''It's the fruit of your hard labour. Your achievement and you will be remembered forever.'' In the lighthouse, Dwayne could hear his family told to him under drug and alcohol influence, ''we despise you. Your blood money. Kill yourself alone and go to hell where you belong.'' I think those words triggered him to commit murder-suicide to his family. Finally he did it and we hear that from radio reporting he had killed his family.

I also accept both of the paranormal theory and logistic drug theory. Both can be true for them. Drug theory also makes sense to Rose as she was anxiety on small things and she used to drink water when she feels anixous. Finally she could mute her husband, Frank. If Dwayne could accept and forgive himself, he could reunite with his family. If he tried to escape and chose to death again and again then he would live in the hell darkness forever. His little daughter, Sarah's drawings showed the demon and sometime she called demon as dad. Does it mean that not only the Dwayne could see 'things'??? SUPER CREEPY!!!

Tho there's no evidence to drug the community via water in the history but it becomes a legend as the evidences were destroyed when the project was cancelled. The pill bottle was labelled 'Chlopromazine' and in the lighthouse scene, it was labelled as 'Lurasidone' which was made in 2003. I don't know its a small error of the game or not. However The SadSquare Studio made the epic game and I love it. ❤ It makes me chill to the spine and I enjoyed it a lot.
