The Painter suffers from late-onset schizophrenia. This was confirmed in a tweet by Bloober Team. The Painter and his Wife have no official name, not even nicknames.
This is an indication that he was a veteran of World War 1. There are medals scattered all throughout the house, a few that display "1914" on them. The Painter was involved in some unknown accident resulting in him wearing a prosthetic leg. Full of regret, he brings his last work to a room full of his wife's portraits and sets fire to them, burning his house and himself in the process. He finally realizes it has all been for nothing, and that the painting will not bring his family back. In the Selfless/Wife & Child Ending, he paints his wife and daughter.
He fails to acknowledge his wrongdoings, believing that all of the suffering he went through was necessary for him to achieve true perfection in his art. In the Selfish/Self-portrait Ending, he paints himself. After discarding the painting in a room full of them, he goes back to his studio to begin it all over again. In the Neutral/Loop Ending, he fails at creating his Magnum Opus. His works were not well received by the critics anymore, and he would take his frustrations out on his family.įeeling abandoned by her husband and believing he was more in love with his paintings than her, the wife committed suicide, and his daughter was eventually taken by social services.īy the beginning of the game, he wanders the house trying to finish his Magnum Opus. With his sanity rapidly wasting away, he could no longer paint like before. Soon enough, he turned into an alcoholic and would lock himself in his studio for days, neglecting both his wife and daughter. This accident devastated them both, but the Artist became increasingly obsessed in "trying to fix" his wife. She was partially disfigured in the event, and lost the ability to play instruments. For a while, they lived happily.Įverything took a turn for the worse however, when his wife was caught in a fire on a department store. They married, moved into the house in which the game takes place, and eventually had a child. He was a very well received upcoming artist who fell in love with a talented musician.
