Ps3userAbuser Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I didn't really understand what happened with the relationship the boy has with his father. Why he drinks and why or did he die? Or did he die? Or was it all a dream or wtf? Anyway still a great game for the $0.99c I payed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satnamji Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I think a lot of it was symbolic. There wasn't a reason why his father drank. He just did and was abusive as a result. I think the bit at the very end wasn't about his father dying so much as it was about Quico letting go of the "demons" that were still affecting him (causing him to retreat into an imaginary world) as a result of growing up with an abusive father. It's supposedly semi-autobiographical, based on the experiences of the lead developer. I agree, great game for 99 cents (what I paid). And certainly worth trying now that it's free -- and not just for the easy 100%. Edited March 10, 2015 by Satnamji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepack Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I only wonder, was the girl his sister?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Pigly_Hogswine Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 It's simply about a person learning to let go and move on. The father may have died. Seems implied, but I don't think that's core to the outcome. I too thought the girl represents his sister/siblings. Game was OK. The final sequence is by far the best part and really the only part that packed any emotional punch. The rest felt a bit childish and clichéd for my liking.

Coop Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I only wonder, was the girl his sister?... I thought the girl was the person the dad hit with his car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theophobos Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 The story didn't bother me, only the sequence where the robot lies on the stone altar and the girl folds her hands in a praying gesture. That was a tad too religious for my taste, but then again, it's a kiddo that grew up in a southern american or central american setting. And these guys traditionally live in a very religious surrounding, so it actually makes sense that religion is part of the boy's fantasy. By the end of the game I also thought the girl was the victim of the father's car accident. And she's kind of a ghost, or spirit, or whatever... I might be wrong, but I don't remember his mum ever being mentioned. Where is she? Did she die? Maybe she was the person being hit by the car. I also figured he had to let go of his ghosts, the ones that are haunting him, and just go on with his life. Easier said than done.. if he lives under the same roof as his dad, he's kinda dependent on him (food and shelter etc.), so he has to cope with that situation. But is retreating into a game world really the answer? Did that myself when I was a kid whenever I had trouble at school. Never had trouble with my folks though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSU Zach Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The father killed the girl in a car accident. This was either the result or the cause of his alcoholism, which is a bit unclear. Regardless, it seems that the car accident at the very least escalated his father's alcoholism and Quico was the victim of an abusive, drunk father (the monster after eating the frogs). The ending is about confronting your demons to escape them, rather than just running and hiding from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4manaka Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 and Quico was the victim of an abusive, drunk father (the monster after eating the frogs).
