[Spoilers of probably all 4 games ahead.]

Hello! So yeah, I'm pretty much a newbie around here and all, but I couldn't help but to love this series, being a fan of adventures games and all.

But, straight to the point, did anyone else notice that the picture in the dining room of the DeFoe Manor isn't the only one that keeps changing throughout the game? The picture of the view of Matthew DeFoe's window, which is also featured in Trilby's Notes, changes too; but in an appearently random manner, not a bit in each day like Roderick's in the dining room (think this is his name).

Here, I took a screenshot and uploaded it into ImageShack:

http://img478.images...9/spookyjx2.jpg

See? There's something that keeps appearing and disappearing if you leave and enter the living room several times. It's probably a man, but you can't really tell, can you...

I know Yahtzee probably hadn't thought of most of the series by the time he made 5 Days, but after playing through all of them I started wondering who could this figure be. Maybe it is the Tall Man? Or maybe it is Somerset's older self, already as a "time guardian", watching over everything so that events would happen as they should? I mean, not that they were inside the picture, but maybe little Matthew saw them through the window and painted them there... And for some freaky reason they couldn't stay painted for too long.

Or maybe I just theorize too much. Who do you guys think that dark figure is?


Edit:

Oh, yeah! Forgot something: if you put the mouse on top of the picture, the legend reads "picture". But when you put the mouse on top of the black figure, it is treated as part of the scenario (it's nothing, and you can't interect with it). Thought this was quite interesting.

Can't be a human figure, it would be like 20 m tall, as it's on the horizon, it's more like a tree. Interesting observation though, Mr Eagle Eye.

Yeh, never noticed that, until I played the SE of 5DAS, where it was mentioned in the commentaries.

And I don't think it has anything to do with the Tall Man or Somerset, as neither of them "existed" when Yahtzee made 5DAS. He made all that Chzo stuff up after 7DAS.

It's most likely just as the painting in of Sir Roderick. Just there to unsettle you and add to the eerie feeling.

This shadowing figure could be Matthew though. Was his painting afterall.

Its the tall man!!!

Nah just kidding, I wonder what it actually is, I mean Yhatz wouldn't have just stuck a random lump of black and not mean it to be anything. Let the theorising continue!

Maybe the perspective in the painting is wrong, and it's actually a man in the painting. A disappearing tree or tower is hardly scary at all.

To similarly change of pictures on all house, anything surprising that this picture as varies. However personally I have not noticed this small detail )))

I think what he tries to say is:

It's no real suprise that this painting changes, as every other painting in the house also does ^^


However, the one in the living room and the one in the dining room are the only ones to change. The only other painting I can remember was that of the lady in the very first room. I went back on every day to check if it changes, but it doesn't seem to.

In the SE, Yahtzee says:

"Some days you can see a dark figure in the distance..."

So... I'm assuming it's meant to be a person-shaped shadow.

It wouldn't really be creepy to have a tree occasionally appear in a painting.

It would if you were scared of trees

...well...yes it would. Or do the pictures in your house change regularly?
