[SPOILER] Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert*

[Kein]

Are we sure there aren't orbs in the temple at the end? Several people thought these were the twin's hearts but take a closer look at those pics (full size recommended if you want to see something):

Nope, they still don't look like Orbs from Amnesia. First, the Orb is less smaller, second - it is perfectly round. As you mentioned, many people thought it was hearts - because they have similar shape, but definitely not round one.

But there is more! If we assume that all references to Egg were masked references to Orb then we know that there was only ONE egg. Language file contains only single mention of the each of the words: "eggs" (level title - Nest of Eggs) and "orbs" ( <Entry Name="Mansion02_03">In Lily's Honour, a Banquet[br][br]Four glassy orbs fixed upon a point in heaven. Wipe down your trousers, man, there is blood in this sweat and it is most unseemly.</Entry>).

And if we take into account unused dialog for custom endings - one of the children says "Smash it" while referring to Orb (the vo file named as orbhit), not "Smash them". This implies that even in the original, first version of the story there was only one Orb (that played bigger role than in final version).
