Talk:Story

Organizing the Story
In my opinion this page is pretty cluttered. Came here to get a quick overview what to do next in my current state of the game to advance the main plot and did not see it immediately.

Therefore I would suggest to split this page to keep the main plot on this page and move the subplots to other pages or at least bring the main plot to the top. Also notes, lore, and story are mixed with speculation and theories here which is not very neat. Sections for each of these complete with a synopsis of what is known for sure would greatly aid in understanding the story I think.

Suggestions what to do with that? ~ Alasclair (talk) 16:13, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Speculation
After playing through the game several times and now reading the story page here, I want to offer an alternative speculation for what happens after the plane crash. I'll start by saying I don't know any of this for sure. So, here's what I think happened:

Plane crashes in the middle of the night. Magically, everyone except the pilot (or co-pilot; I can't tell which is which) survives, but everyone is unconscious. The flight attendant is the first to wake up. A short time later, Matthew Cross comes to take Timmy. He kills the flight attendant with the plane axe so that she can't stop him from taking Timmy. Eric wakes just long enough to watch Timmy be taken, then passes out again. Later, the remaining passengers start to wake up. They see that the flight attendant has been killed, realize that there's a murderer loose, and leave the plane to seek help, each eventually taken and killed by cannibals. Eric wakes up sometime later, alone, and the game begins.

Why do I think this is what happens? Several reasons. First, if the cannibals took everyone from the crash, why didn't they take Eric or the flight attendant? When you find the front of the plane, you also find the pilot's body (or the co-pilot), but the co-pilot is found in a cannibal cave. Why take the co-pilot but leave the pilot? I believe the answer is that the cannibals do not take the dead, and simply mistook Eric for a corpse. Second, there were 40 people to take out of that plane, and given that it takes two cannibals to drag you into a cave when you "die" the first time, I don't see the cannibals having the manpower to take everybody out of that plane in a reasonable amount of time. Third, I think Cross kills the flight attendant because she appears to have been killed by the plane axe. Cannibals don't use human weapons - if they did, they'd use them against you. After all, they have the katana, modern bow and at least two axes down in their caves at the start of the game.

New Ending
There is a new ending for the forest where the player runs up to Timmy, this isn't exclusive to hard survival mode, it affects all modes.--Farket8238 (talk) 09:32, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
