What is the real ending of the witch's house?

The real ending of The Witch's House is very depressing, especially after the ordinary ending. In the real ending, the player discovers that Wei he manipulated is the real love lotus, and this hideous witch is the real love lotus. At the beginning of the game, the magic of exchanging bodies with Wei has been completed, and this ending also explains many doubts in The Witch Diary. At the same time, the trigger condition of the true ending is also very interesting, "get the sword of Ailien that can only be obtained from the cupboard when the witch's house is restored to its original state". The knife I got when I returned to the original state revealed the "appearance" of the ending. Although the content of the ending hasn't changed, my father shot Wei Zhen twice, but it shows us the truth behind the appearance. Does the author give the truth the intention of "knife" and metaphor the cruelty of truth?

But the real ending is not the end, and the ending of one-life customs clearance is even more terrible. Once you fail, you have to start from scratch, and there is no chance to start again from the archive point, which is a bit of an allusion to reality. You don't have SL Dafa, you don't have a chance to fail, there are only two ways, either go on or die. This made me fall into the thinking of "choice". In the process of customs clearance, players have only one choice at each fork in the road, and there is no chance to start again. This ending is more real and realistic.

In addition to the ending, the details in The House of the Witch are also alluding to many things.

Frog: I trusted Wei (true love lotus) and gave a lot of help, but I was betrayed. After entering the snake belly, I tried to get back at Wei (true love lotus) (the black hand who entered the frog's room after death, and later tadpole). Isn't frog a symbol of Wei cheated by Ailien? Once used, it becomes a sacrifice to the devil.

Hanging the Invisible Man: Coincidentally, hanging the Invisible Man and the joke are in the same room. According to the process, hanging the Invisible Man is after the chair laughs. Can we understand hanging the invisible man as realizing the real hunter? And this hunter may not only be a joke hunter, he may be Nelly's father, or he may be a "player" who really realizes that he has become a witch's helper in the game.

I think there is a third protagonist in "The House of the Witch" besides Wei, that is, the player as a bystander. Players help Wei (True Love Lotus) escape from the witch's home from the perspective of Wei (True Love Lotus). From the beginning of the game to the end of the ordinary ending, the players didn't know the true identity of Wei (true love lotus), thinking that what they did was right, just like the hunter in a joke, self-righteous. Every time Wei (True Love Lotus) operated by the player dies, the player will try to continue the game. This is of course, and there is a taste of helping others to die. But after touching the real ending, I have a strong sense of self-blame for the player himself: am I really doing the right thing? What the hell am I doing? Why did I lead to such a tragedy? These problems are even more cruel in the dull ending: without our knowledge, we helped a wicked man, and we thought he was a good man. The most terrible thing is that we didn't realize this from beginning to end. This is the criticism of good and evil in the work of The Witch's House. Good and evil may not be what we seem. We think the GAME OVER is a tragedy, so we start over, and then we come into contact with the real tragedy.

Compared with crazy dad, the witch's house has more practical significance. The three endings of "Crazy Dad" are real tragedies, while the two endings of "The Witch's House" look like comedies, but they are better than the ordinary endings of tragedy. Everything was covered up, and we players helped the real witch a little bit without knowing it, but in the end we all felt that we were doing the right thing. Facing the false veil, we didn't take out the real knife to see the cruel truth. From this point of view, in fact, the ordinary ending of the witch's house is really the most horrible ending, right?
