Amnesia: Justine Discussion Topic

[Tommyboypsp]

Thank you all for your replies!

8. It's either Justine or Clarice who did it.

Interesting. So you're saying Clarice might have helped? Hmm..

10. Justine tortured a lot of people (i guess, since she's insane.). Maybe they assume somebody got out. Or, they thought a guest/someone on Justine's house just happened to a woke in a cell.

Fair enough, hehe.

Also at least Alois and Basile have no business killing other prisoners, they just want Justine. And Malo probably went somewhere else to...do kinky stuff.

Hahahaha

3. No idea...have to play again.

Made this about a week ago (that's when I started wondering about these things)

Besides, if Malo doesn't know there's a prisoner behind the door, why would he smash it? It's not like he can smell him.

Well he does make some noise. : P

1. It's doubtful Justine ever drank the "amnesia mixture" since it was something Alexander supposedly invented, half a continent away. I don't think he would really commercialize it, seeing as his reasons for inventing it were quite nefarious.

I disagree. Amnesia is an official word for forgetfulness. Alexander made AN amnesia mixture. I think it would be very well possible for Justine to make her own.

3. I don't understand the question …

The first prisoner, the friend of Justine's dad is in the place with the prison cells where the suitors and the other prisoner were held in before all of this started. If you look below you, you can see a dark place that looks like a point later in the game where you meet the second suitor. Do you think this is the same place?
(or if you have access to the map editor, can you find out?)

8. Actually yes. The entire game is a "test" that Justine designed for herself. If she had the means to place functional gramophones everywhere I'm sure she could light a few candles.

Fair enough, hehe.

I think the actual question is: why does he not flip the switches or spin the valves himself, would it not be simpler?

Lol, I hadn't thought about that.

Correct me if I am wrong, but are not the suitors supposed to be blind? So they may have been able to sneak past them, while the suitors might have been able to smell some of Justine's scent. As for following Justine, we do not know for sure how long Justine had fainted, and there are only so many places you can go in the dungeon before you eventually find the exit.

That's right, they are blind. All of the prisoners seem to be tied up though, assuming the priest is tied up just like the prisoner on the painting. I never thought about the time Justine was passed out, though.

I was thinking of this as well, and it does seem likely. Also, before you enter the room with the first prisoner, you do get to see/hear a suitor walking in a more lit room below, and when you are in the room with the pictures, there appears to be a suitor on the other side of the door.

Yes! And when you see him at the start in the room below, the 'window' you see him through looks like another window you see later in the game. I thought it was the same, but it turned out to be a very similar one.

Something struck me just now, though. Clarice asks if Justine is alright when she exits the basement. Perhaps Clarice heard something?

Nah.. silly Clarice..

Good question. Some sort of ventilation? Forcing forth the screams of other prisoners? Perhaps even a means as an escape route if the public came down there and found out that people were being held prisoners without official consent?

Those are more things than I could come up with :o

Although on the topic of prisoners, I sometimes had the opposite impression. The first prisoner would suddenly say "it is not too late to set things right", and the second prisoner would angrily say something like "wicked child" and curse you. Though whether or not they pick up on you actually being Justine, I have no idea.

No, he didn't recognize you. That's the one who DOES assume you're Justine, though when you save him, he says "Look out for Justine, she might still be close"..
So when you save him he thinks you're someone else.

Her cause for amnesia is hinted towards in one of the loading screens. She had previously overdozed on certain pills, and she was very familiar with their effect. ^^

Oh, I see.. I feel like I've read that before..
Maybe I've had some amnesia drink

Edit: Now that I think about it, I am pretty sure that Justine made reference to coming into contact with an Orb, which might further increase insanity. However, it could also be trying to easen her mind and be the cause of why she started to actually question her personality, thus induct such an experiment. The powers of the Orbs ... Though now I am just rambling things, haha.

Interesting, though if she did find an orb, there were only two options, either she had to maintain control over it, or it would kill her. That's why I don't think she had one.
