    I found myself glued to the screen, deeply immersed in the story. It may be the old theme of kids left to the babysitter and bad things starts to happen, but this game did it right. I do hope that they make more creepy stories like this.

    Reminds me of the movie Mama. And yes, the nanny is the creature. It has the same eye out as the nanny. And someone said tht maybe the father had an affair w her and killed her. The box tht held the nanny's pic was w some condoms. But it was also w the binoculars. Maybe he was obsessed w her and confronted her and she denied him and he killed her.

    There's no doubt in my mind Oliver and Tina's dad was getting with Ms. Marquez on the side while the mom was completely unaware. I guess after some "accident" (the dad killed the nanny obviously), she wasn't actually dead, came back insane, and took her kids...to God knows where.

  • @Polyeurythane
    @Polyeurythane 2 года назад +5

    So here’s how I see the story. Mrs. Vasquez is actually the mom to both the kids. The picture shows Tina looking happy and Mrs. V looking very motherly. On the other hand there is evidence that the dad was obsessed with her and had a hand in her death (perhaps she rebuffed him if she truly was just the nanny to the children). If she honestly did “disappear”, I would think that she is buried out in the woods. It would explain the connection the spirit has to the woods, along with the squirrel munching on a finger. I personally think she’s buried at the rock, which is why the painting appeared there (since that seems to be a horror trope in my mind). Tina makes it clear that she hates her parents and dislikes Veronica, so I definitely think something happened before Oliver could remember, perhaps the disappearance or that Mrs. V is the actual mom. Either way, it seems Tina knows more than she tells Oliver. As for why the kids were taken, Oliver seems to talk fondly about Mrs. V. I definitely think it’s either revenge or “protection”.

    One thing I like about this series is that it takes it's inspiration from Twilight Zone, and whether unintentionally or not, once you get into the color episodes it's fair to make the comparison that these later ones are reminiscent of Rod Serling's Night Gallery or the 80's Twilight Zone revival (the better among the revivals, imo).
