Steve used to work as a surgeon in the city, but now had to work at the local hospital for a much lower pay. Soon after they moved into a small town, called Bright Woods, hoping for a peaceful life for their soon-to-be children. In 1986 Steve and Jen, his parents, were married. If the player completes the game in hardcore mode, the real ending is unlocked and Grey's past is completely clarified as follows: The door behind him locks itself and Grey is unable to open it, screaming and shouting. The screen then goes black and the voice of Grey's mother is heard telling him that "he's safe" and that "everything is gonna be ok". Nevertheless, Grey destroys the fixed floor where the hole was and manages to reach the basement and finds his father's documents and information. Also, it was noticed that there was a hole in a section of the hospital that leads to the basement, but it was fixed. After reaching the third floor he realizes that the floor was under renovation and that the archives were moved to the basement. Grey reaches the hospital (which is also empty) and proceeds to find the archives section in the third floor to collect information about his father, who'd gone mad a long time ago (the reason of his insanity is not fully explained). He destroys it and reaches a secret part of the basement that's swarming with enemies. Grey finds a clue about his father and decides to go to the mental hospital where he was locked. Grey proceeds as his mother instructs and goes to the basement, finding a long wooden plank covering a hole. What Grey was really doing while fighting the boss. Once the battle's finished, it's revealed that Grey was (in reality) killing a little girl with a drill, Grey then reacts and says that he "did the best he could". He then enters his house and hears the female voice (his mother) telling him that he'll "find the answers in the basement". Once the doll's restored, Grey's sent to a boss fight against 4 giant female-like monsters while evading enormous blades. He proceeds to the next room and finds a broken doll that resembles a girl, Grey must find the missing doll pieces and restore it (while the player explores part of the girl's memories). He tries to enter, but a female voice tells him that he "can't go home yet" because he must "do something for her first". Grey reaches a room with an incomplete doll in the middle.Īfter venturing a while, he enters into what seems to be a nightmare when he's about to get home. Grey also encounters disturbing dolls that jump on his face, men whose body is up to the waist and move with their hands, dogs that seem to be skinned and deformed and many other disturbing enemies while many parts of his past are revealed. Proceeding further, he encounters more of this enemies and questions himself what is happening. He's then attacked by a mysterious, floating man wielding a knife, but Grey kills him with the handgun. Realising that the metal curtains can't be openedĮlectronically due to a malfunction in the system, he cuts the power in the place to open them manually. After crawling through many places, he manages to find the exit and reaches his workplace, only to find a handgun along with another note whose writing is the same as his mother's, but he states that it's impossible because she died, yet he has no other choice but to do as the note says. Grey decides to leave the place but notices that the doll follows him. Going further, he descends into a basement-like room where he finds a disturbing doll. Searching around, he finds a pipe and uses it to destroy the wooden planks blocking the entrance. Grey enters an alleyway and finds a flashlight to be able to keep moving. He decides to take a shortcut to get quickly to his house, although he states that he hates the shortcut, he has no other choices. Grey awakens at his bed, startled by nightmarish visions, he ventures on only to find disturbing occurrences on his way and goes to hell to exit through the back door. He awakens to find that the world has gone quiet, the streets empty. And it seems even reality has turned up against him. Grey's life has been nothing but a struggle, a constant downward spiral.
