It is not unlikely that Mathew Defoe's abused brother enjoys residing in the painting. After all, Mathew is the only person who showed the boy any kindness. "He likes it when I talk to him," Mathew says in his journal, refering to the boy behind the door. This is possibly a misconception of the boy's knocking on the wall, but a likely story as well. Infants enjoy listening to the voices of their mothers. Why should a feral child not enjoy listening to a kind voice? Would it not recognize the sentiment behind bandaging him up?

Why, it's almost sweet.

As a side note, when I first played the game, I noticed this painting changing without noticing that the portrait in the dining room ages. I only noticed that a few days ago, when I replayed the series. Omo; It's odd what people notice and what they don't.

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


what does it say about it in the commentaries?

I think that it's just young and naive Matthew who convinces himself that the boy likes him. Otherwise, John wouldn't have killed him along with good old Sir Rod, would he? Or was that rather the Tall Man's doing?

The tall man is a possibility, but not necissary for Mathew to have been a target. The Bridgekeeper is a maniac. All he knows is pain. He has no concept of logic, and may not even have been very good at telling people apart, let alone restraining his emotions.

I personally believe that he killed Mathew and Sir Roderic in an awful rage, all the anger that was kept locked down in that basement for so long. From the other murders and disappearances at Defoe manor, it seems that it could not be sated by just one death. How could the ultimately nameless boy possibly hold it back? Mathew's 'love' was not enough. His brother may have liked him, as best he was able, but he still hated everyone, everywhere, and Mathew had the misfortune to fall into that category.

I don't think "John" knows why he killed him.

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

Remember kids, think before we speak.


First of all... I'm not speaking. I'm typing.

And second -- if a dark, ominous tree randomly appeared and disappeared in a painting in my house, I would think it much less terrifying than if a dark, ominous silhouette of a person randomly appeared in a painting in my house. I wasn't addressing the strangeness of a painting changing in general, I was addressing the creepiness of WHAT was appearing/disappearing.

If the former happened, I would be tempted to say...

"The Larch. The...Larch."

Obscure?

And now... number one... the Larch. The Larch. THE, LARCH.

Flying Circus quoting aside (its a fine game), i'd be pretty disturbed if ANY picture in my house changed on a regular basis, whether it was a tree, person, or even a large pack of balloons that was appearing/disappearing.

I've got a holo-picture hanging here that displays a man dressed like shakespeare who greets you when you walk by. Not scary at all. Therefore, you guys are all a bunch of sissies.

That would appear to be a rule of horror... we expect things to act in a set way, and when one of those objects breaks the rules of its behavior (ie; a painting changing, a wheelchair moving without anyone propelling it, a cat smiling or generally being anything other than a snooty bastard,) we feel a sense of unease, even if it is not lifethreatening.
