    I know Mark was probably joking about the murderer check, but I've done that before when I went on a class trip. We were a public school, so we didn't always stay at the nicest places. So my friend and I checked every hiding place possible in the rooms while our third friend stayed by the door to yell just in case. I think it's a good policy to have if you're ever worried about a place you're staying at. It makes you feel a lot safer.

      @@LWLProductions The person who was knocking on the door was the one who probably had the coffee machine. When you drink the coffee, your vision starts to get blurry. As if it was some kind of drug... When Joe tells you that there have been complaints and that people have been hearing 'goofy' sounds, it sounds like our main character Holly was assaulted. SA. So the intruder used the coffee machine to drup Holly and then assault her. That's why when she wakes up at 3am, it says 'i was sedated.' To sedate is to calm. But it can also mean to be drugged.
      So, when Joe asks why our eyes are red, we lead him to the coffee machine. Upon inspection, well there's no need for that, since you can blatantly see that the coffee machine is no longer there, Joe tells you to go back to your room. Perhaps Joe knew? Just a small theory.

    Mark should've tried:

    The story seemed like an elaborate setup from the gas station to the motel. Her car was probably sabotaged when she was in the store. The ride she got genuinely wanted to help. There may have been someone less scrupulous on the way. Either way, she ended up at the intended motel where at least 2 accomplices were waiting in ambush. Unfortunately for them (fortunately for her), their plans kept getting interrupted by complaining guests, and the front desk man. That front desk man knew she was a target the whole time, and probably knew who the assailants were.

      The bad ending kinda doesn't make sense either. Drugs you, sneaks into your room, then just waits in the closet hoping you'll open it. If you don't then you leave and he leaves, and if you refuse to let him in he breaks open the door to get you. Like, you were ALREADY in her room with her totally helpless and unaware.

    There are some neat little details you missed while playing the game Mark.
    For example when you lead the hotel manager to where the coffee machine used to be you can see the guy from your closet sneak out of your room and scurry off behind the building.
    Another detail is at some point you can actually see the guy taking away the coffee machine into his room so nobody finds it.

      So she was being targeted from the start and the guy not only messed with her car but wanted it to break down at that exact point... For no reason, since she was there for a while until someone ELSE gave her a ride. Why set this up if he's not going to do anything? What if she had gone the other way? Either that or it's a completely unrelated incident, which is even less believable to me.
      Then, the guy was betting on her taking a ride and going to the one room with no phone in that hotel, then on her wanting to drink coffee from the full sized machine he had setup at 3am. Did he spike all options? What if she had somehing else? What if she decided not to have coffee after not finding her desired option?
      And there's the fact that the machine disappeared too. The story would have been more believable if he had spiked an existing machine, the water fountain, something - but no, he actually brought his own and took it with him immediately afterwards - for the creepy "But... there's no coffee machine!" scare line.
      Does he carry that around often? What does the back of that van even look like? A dirty mattress and a full sized coffee machine?
      And also, why would he be in the room, go outside, and THEN go back and ask to be let in?
      Add all of this to the fact somehow every single person in this story is creepy, every place she goes has a bad vibe and off detail- to the point she states that she believes the entire town was a cult.
      I feel as if they went overboard with the creepy details in this one to the point of making it less believable. If it was only some of those elements it'd be scary, but all of them? Really don't think it worked.
      While the situation in this one feels far more dangerous, the other story felt scarier because it was more believable with the way those creepy things were very subtle. You go down stairs and the door is open. Was it like that before? Can you remember? You might see the feet rushing up the stairs out of the corner of your eye, but you might just miss it. This one is a series of terrible incidents being shoved in your face "look! is this detail not creepy?"
      Edit: I can't believe I'm still getting notifications over this, lol, calm down guys! I thought the touching grass comment was funny - I'm not about to deny the fact I'm terminally online.
      Also thank you everyone who tagged me with your own opinions :) A few people have pointed out it's based on a true story and therefore it can have creative liberties taken with it - well, yes. I was operating under the assumption that that's quite obvious, even in the previous story. The point of the discussion was precisely the fact that the embellishments made this story less immersive, which is very important for game atmosphere - specially for horror, and specially for based on a true story horror. I personally think the idea of multiple perpetrators makes it even less believable because it means it's a coincidence that this person would have all of them independently on her in a single night... But I do see how one could argue that it is more easily rationalised. Specially if they are working towards thean obscure common goal, so cheers!

    ok while reading the comments, I saw a bunch of different theories and details and realized that they all fit together. *The theory that Holly was sexually assaulted is very likely to be true.*
    One person said that the man at the gas station talked about a woman in a dress that got r*ped and murdered. Then, the guy from the gas station cuts the wires on our car, which causes it to stop working later (you have to be in the right place at the right time to notice this detail). Then, we get picked up and brought to the motel BY THE SAME GUY THAT CAUSED OUR CAR TO STOP WORKING, and he brings us to this motel (which he picked out, not Holly/us/the player).
    Once we get drugged and we go to bed without checking a closed since there is a naked man in there, we wake up and we are still very disoriented. This could cause us to not realize or notice anything strange that may have happened to us during the night. The manager says that we were making "funny noises" and later a guy comes into our room, calling us a "pretty woman" or something like that. He may have been the same guy from the gas station, or the same naked guy from the closed that jumpscared Mark. Maybe they're all the same person.
    Here is what all the evidence points to:
    the guy at the gas station cuts our tires because he plans to sexually assault us at a motel he drives us to. He hides in the closet naked and assaults us in our sleep. That explains the funny noises. (To all the people who say "well her clothes were still on" or something - it's very common, especially in real life cases, for victims to have their clothes put back on by the perpetrator so they don't notice something is immediately wrong). When we wake up, the man in the closet is gone, and we are still disoriented from the drug we took. This explains why we may not have noticed any odd sensations or differences in how we felt when we first woke up. After, the guy calls us a pretty woman (implying that he has both seen us before and that he is attracted to us, so he was probably the guy from the gas station) and breaks in.
    The guy who works at the motel likely knows what is going on too, or at least part of it. His demeanor shifts when he realized that Holly, like all the other guests at the motel (he mentioned something about Holly being the "only sober guest" or something earlier), had some sort of drug. The perpetrator has probably brought many other people here and drugged them in the same way. Then, the motel guy even knows to come in and stop the guy when he breaks into the motel. This is definitely not the first time this has happened to someone.
    Also - this is based off of a presumably true story, and it may not be completely accurate. Maybe if this is true, Holly wanted to exaggerate the way she got drugged, or maybe she wanted to leave out the sexual assault details as they would be highly traumatizing.

      It’s more than likely that most things were made up or enhanced for gameplay. The coffee machine being moved around despite its weight, the idea that someone would cut the wires of a random girl’s car at a gas station hoping that someone else would come along and take her to a particular motel that same evening, and the fact that the manager had pills ready to go in that drawer makes no sense realistically. Irl, I doubt Holly was assaulted. If she was, than it did not happen like this. However, it does make for some sickening and bone-chilling in-game realizations…

      The guy was fapping in her closet. He didn’t leave to assault her until after she left the room with the manager because he felt that the game was up and that was his last chance. The psycho was literally masturbating in the closet thinking about what he would do to her when the drugs properly knocked her out. He knew she was still slightly awake and that it was too risky to make his move just yet. And that saved Holly honestly. His sick perversion made enough noise that the neighbours heard him and called the manager in. If he hadn’t, he’d have been able to sexually assault Holly and drag her away into a slave ring.

    I don't know if people just don't want to say it or if they genuinely don't pick up on it, but the protagonist definitely got sexually assaulted after being drugged. If you open the closet the man inside is naked, and the manager complains about "goofy noises".

      @@KaiSub i don't know about the reddit post, since I haven't read it, but the game is definitely exaggerating the story. There were so many points in the story where something could've gone wrong with the guy's plan. The most ridiculous part is definitely an entire coffee machine being used and then hidden away by the culprit. Not to mention the hitchiking part, where _anyone_ could've picked Holly up and taken her to any particular distance.
      Honestly, it's just much more believable that a bunch of random coincidences occured throughout the story, with none of the incidents actually having much of a relation with the others.
      As a game, it makes for a creepy story, but as a real life incident, it just seems way too exaggerated. Then again, I could be wrong and it's 100% true. But looking at the amount of things that would've been needed to go right for the assaulter's plan to work just make it very hard to believe.

      Bridges are also great places for ambush irl and in games.
      I was playing WoW in legion, and there was this really long bridge over a huge ravine. I never liked crossing it and always expected something to happen.
      One of the times I went across two stealthed cat players (Druids) jumped me, and I somehow ended up falling off of the bridge, losing most of my heath to fall damage, then they quickly finished me off and went to wait for more victims.

    As a young woman who has driven across the country both at night and during the day : plan your route BEFOREHAND. Listen to locals and if you take a detour to avoid traffic (id prefer to sit in traffic as that means youre near heavily populated areas and likely won't lose cell service) ask people where not to stop before you get into the sticks. Make sure you have a full tank before going on the side country roads. If you MUST stop, keep your car in your eyesight and if you see anyone being sketchy near your car, ask the gas station manager to review footage to make sure they haven't done anything. If you see downed logs or any other barricade that looks unnatural, turn around and go back to the highway. People will use blockades and jump you, they may even use a dead dog/person playing unconscious to make you stop. Don't stop, phone the police and go to the nearest gas station if you see someone unconscious on the road. It's hard not to help but it may be better in the long run if you're unarmed. Otherwise, you'll just be another victim. If you stop at a hotel/motel, make sure it's a reputable one or don't stop. Don't take any drinks offered or any complimentary in the room if you stop at a bad place. Use tap water or bath water if you must since those pipes are communal. Always do a murderer check, pull the blinds and deadbolt the door. And remember, if you get stuck on the side of the road, 911 is always available even without service. Call and tell them where you're at. Oh and if you get roofied, be careful who to ask for help. If the front desk gives you the creeps, call 911 and lock yourself in the public restroom if you have your wits about you enough to do so. But mostly, plan routes and stay on the highways.

    no one seems to talk about the fact she was assaulted after being drugged.
    why would he drug her just to hide in a closet?
    the manager complaining about “goofy noises” definitely confirms this,
    if the bloke was just getting off in a closet it definitely wouldn’t have been loud enough for the manager to complain about it,
    and what makes it worse is that the lack of mentioning it outright makes it’s clear the character doesn’t know.
    i’m not a woman myself so i can’t speak on it, but based on what other people are saying this game seems like woman simulator.
    jokes aside the atmosphere built in this game is brilliant so far, i’m looking forward to the other ones.
