Hi KJ! You have the ‘what’, but not the ‘why’. You’re correct with the “two for death”, but not the “two for life”. There are actually at least 3 key objects in the final area that you walked right past, that serve to tell the story. If you play it again, be sure to look up, and not click anything until you’re certain you’ve seen it all. Don’t worry, most people have done the same thing so far, and most haven’t bothered to inspect the area. But I promise it’s worth a second playthrough, and it will make the story much more interesting than a man simply killing himself and going to limbo. Also, the street signs are the easter egg :)

In reply to Matt. Hi! Thanks! It's a great game! I didn't really want to spoil it in the article, but figured that the protagonist had killed themselves in the bathtub and they are now trapped in a looping Hell/Limbo. Figured the "two lines to for life" referred to your veins/arteries and the "two for death" referred to the cuts that your character had made in their wrists when they bled to death in the tub. Was there more to it than that?

Hello there!

With a second playthrough, if you look at the details in the apartment and bathroom, there is actually a much deeper story to discover. In the video, there were a several key details that were missed. If you’re inclined to give it another shot, there’s an actual story at play, and each item in the apartment serves to tell it, and help solve the riddle. I love the analyses I’ve read on this site, and for my other game, you guys nailed it. I would love to see a deeper interpretation. Thanks for playing!
