Nothing about a bottle of antidepressants by itself indicates death by drugs. I did find it odd that the whale wasn't even mentioned :| (These are all found in the entry above the desk at the beginning of the game.) Seems odd that he would just leave these people behind because "Hey! Portal to frog-people land!" I find that this could indeed be a parallel to some sort of tolerance to anti depressants? Maybe?įurthermore, another thing that I thought SUPER interesting was this one part in the Ice Cave where there is a giant whale frozen in the ice! I was hoping that the Narrator would say something about it, but nope!įinally, what about some of the postnotes at the beginning of the game? It seems that Fred had some sort of romance going on with this "Mara?" Also seems that he has some notes about getting together with some buds. I find this interpretation interesting, mostly because at one point in the Ice Caves Nephew mentions how it seems that everything was flash frozen. It literally looks like a vortex! He helps you escape, thus allowing your story to go on. In the end, we find Fred alone in a dark cave that is full of crystals. The world starts falling apart (cubes and stalactites). The theme is isolation: Your friends stay behind, never to be seen again. The last world is dark and cold and depressing. Crystals make their world go round and everything is just flying and colorful. The frog people think those crystals are dangerous and should be handled with care, but the Stray use lots of crystals. Than he starts using some crystals that grant him super powers and make him feel like he can fly. Just like the frog people in the first world.
We have this Uncle who is always fun and interesting and very nice and creative and what not. That plus the fact that there is such a strong focus on crystals and frogs made me think of the following: Originally posted by Random:What bugs me about the ending is, that there is a bottle of Anti Depressings in Fred's house. These are the common steps when you are in mourning (in psychology: shock -> denial -> culpability -> anger -> sadness -> acceptance and other blablabla ) Other secret words, once translated say "Denial" (portal) and in caverns "Anger". That's also why the glowing message in the final ice room before you quit your uncle is translated "Acceptance". That's why you don't get to open the locker in the end, and there is no launch pad. just like his uncle did, to find him again, but, in the end, lose him forever (admit his death). He imagined himself traveling in that world. The story is the story the kid made up in his head to imagine how his uncle could have survived, he viewed him as a genius (he was expert in quantum physics as a wall says), and imagined that in his ice tomb he survived with a mystical travel device, that he was living with happy and nice creatures in a small paradise inside the mountains.
His body has never been found (hence the memorial). He probably felt into a crevice or similar. You can see a newspaper on a wall in the epilogue stating that exploit.įred died during a climbing accident. Fred was known to be able to climb mountains at the age of 52.
