Amnesia: Justine Discussion Topic

[Romulator]

I'll answer your questions, but this thread may be of help: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-21303.html

Who recorded the phonograph speeches?

Spoiler below!

Justine did. Justine had left these messages in order to push herself through the Cabinet of Perturbation (or in laymen's; the basement) and to get her to test her own psyche, or rather the player's decision making skills.

The fact that Justine is pretty stuffed in the head anyways is perhaps why she went through such an experiment. She had endured a tough childhood and possibly decided that it was time she started over, but she would in the end have to conclude she cannot hide her past.

Does the game take place in real time or Justine's imagination?

Spoiler below!

The game does take place in real time, mimicked by the fact that death is indeed final.

What is the connection to the first game?

Spoiler below!

The connection is extremely slim, however there is a note from Daniel which had been delivered to Justine. Despite the fact that the note's date is incorrect if you were really strict about the storyline of TDD, it shows that Justine was indeed a mutual friend of Daniel's despite that they had never met. Herbert had told Daniel about Justine and had in fact asked for Justine to contact him.

It is evident that she did not as she is not made referral to in any way in TDD.

What is the purpose of the phonograph missing a cylinder?

Spoiler below!

The phonograph's missing Cylinder can be found on a small balcony like area in the (architecturally from the front prison door) back left corner, accessible by climbing with well placed boxes and/or barrels. In other means, the cell in which spawns the suitor in the far cell, above that. It is located in the back corner.

Place that into the Phonograph with the missing cylinder. It will play a message of interaction between Justine and Alois, or the second suitor.
