Ending Concepts#

Shared by Nikita in a Public Discord, there are concepts of the Beta 3 ending with some Russian attached to them.

This particular ending was made back when the game was about generational trauma, in a story the fandom usually calls the Father-Son Story. As it was about Nicky who (at the time) was the Neighbor's son, as symbolized in this endings (sort of) finished counterpart, where The Thing is a metaphor for the Neighbor's fear, and abusive father, and the ending symbolizes the player understanding his father, and overcoming their shared trauma.

The game has always had a story of "getting over something", but the other iterations of this are perhaps best left for another page.
