But seeing as HER really is just White Face, it doesnt feel right.

The only thing i could think of is that she was HER before she died. Im so glad you brought up the girl in the potrait. HER being another form of White Face, and the girl being. Also, considering White Face is an unstable phantom of deception with no real personality, HER can be interpreted as its other side (along with Ivan Zanotti, as the in-game character).Īlso, it's just my thoughts of course, but I have a feeling HER and the portrait of a redhaired girl are not related. Well technically the dev said HER is White Face "acting like it's something new" or sort of. I will also compile a list of every link between them both and maybe we can reach a more satisfying conclusion Im not a big fan of that theory, but it makes the most sense to me. For me, I think that White face being HER is metaphorical, being shown literally. Originally posted by alecks:As for the whole "White Face = HER?" debate, theres strong evidence for both sides and i am personally neutral about it. (And since Zanotti's Twitter profile picture is him wearing a White Face mask, it seems probable that the rest of my interpretation is correct.)Īt any rate, it's plausible also that the player is either an instantiation of White Face, or more likely, that the player isn't in the shoes of the "protagonist" (a totally featureless character), but simply playing as White Face. Here, Zanotti seems to back up my interpretation of things, at least insofar as White Face and HER. That doesn't really preclude my interpretation. Yes but if you move after you shoot her you see that it is White Face that killed HER and not you. So a recurring theme in the game is how your interaction somehow causes the entity to change, from White Face to HER to Zanotti. After you "kill" HER, you receive the layer.txt file which states: "You changed me and now I'm not scared" It seems to me pretty clear that the game portrays "White Face," "HER," and "Ivan Zanotti" as all somehow being the same person, hence the repeated occurrence of the name prompt with the option to give one of those answers.īefore you kill HER, you get the text about the entity changing, presumably from White Face to HER, and not liking the change.
