I actually think that most of the plots have a somewhat happy upturn towards the end: Let me know if I missed anything but I think that summarizes most of the important points. I saw someone had a theory that they both comitted suicide which doesn't make sense to me since she sounds happy and hopeful in her final journal enty. She simply stole all the $1,000 laserdisc players, vcr's and probably some other stuff, and ran off with her lover Lonnie, who skipped out on the army at the last minute and left 2 desperate messages trying to get ahold of Sam. I saw one thread speculating that the father was abused by the uncle but I saw no evidence of that, and once you find the safe its clear his vice was opiates, not little boys.įinally, when you piece most everything together and make it to the attic, the story turns from grim to hopeful. Unfortunately she simply wrote return to sender on the envelope and mailed it back. He wrote a letter to his sister explaining he sold the pharmacy to get away from temptation (easy access to opiates) and was turning his life around. When you find and open the safe in the basement, it turns out he was an opiate addict. He inexplicably sold his pharmacy in town at one point and seemingly died a lonely recluse. Like some others I've talked to, I expected to find her in the attic with her wrists slashed or something of the sort.įinally there is the weird uncle they randomly inherited the place from. As you find more clues and gain more journal entries, Sam is lonely, then sad, then happy to find a friend, in love, and then desperate not to lose that love. She's desperate for someone to talk to, and misses her sister (you) even more desperately. She and Lonnie do their best to stay under the radar and away from parents who don't, or dont want, to understand her. Sam spends all her time in her room, the secret servants quarters, and the attic. Lastly, they tell Sam that they're going on a vacation for their anniversary or something but in reality its a couples retreat complete with counseling. This is not suspicious in itself necessarily, but I doubt too many couples in their mid-late forties have much use for condoms. After finding tickets to earth wind and fire (who she went to with a male co-worker), a trashy novel about a hunky woodsman, a note from a girlfriend which refers to her attraction to her co-worker, and finally a condom.
It's pretty clear shes having an affiar, although not confirmed. His wife spends her time in her art studio, the kitchen, and the greenhouse.
Even his own father has no faith in his work (you find a note saying as much), and terry hates him for it, as evidenced by the portrait of his father with the face completely cut out in the basement. He's a poor writer, littering his books with cliche and generic sci-fi plot lines, not to mention the odd obsession with the Kennedy assassination. His books won't sell, and he is on the verge of being terminated from his steady work as an electronics reviewer. He can't be a happy man, the bottle of booze in his study and the well appointed wet bar speak to that. The dad spends his time in the study, or the library. Not only is much of the household still packed in boxes, it seems that everyone spends their time in separate parts of the house. After a little investigation however, it's clear they've been living there for a while now.
One of the first things noticeable is the fact that it looks like they just moved in to this house. You come home and find a note from your sister telling you not to worry about the stuff thats missing. I don't know if people are missing journal entries or just misinterpreting but I feel like I can help shed some light on some stuff. I have been reading a few threads about the plot and I feel like a lot of people are getting it wrong.
