He makes amends to them by giving them a map out of the area and helps them fix their car. He reveals that he purposefully turned off the power so that Rin and her friends couldn't contact anyone from the outside and he made them take care of the matter themselves. They return to the other side and confront the old man who is revealed as Yukio Tsuchida, a descendant of the Tsuchida family. They manage to blow up the underground facility and bury the corpses. Seitaro and Rin manage to figure out the secret behind the corpses and the legend of the mermaid, connecting it back to the Tsuchida men's obsession of drowned women and the Tsuchida women's desire to protect female outsiders. Yuka, the only survivor, is left in her swollen state and is never cured.Įveryone in Rin's group survives (Rin doesn't dodge Seittaro's attack and she doesn't light the fireplace). Yuuta, bewildered by his friend's sudden death, is shot by someone off-screen and falls in the swamp. She then hallucinates that he's on the other side of the swamp and jumps in, drowning herself. Yuuta comes out to confront Rin about what just happened and she confesses that Seitaro is dead. Rin becomes depressed over his death and weeps by the swamp's banks. If Rin chooses to dodge Seitaro's attack in the old mansion, he will return to normal and, after taking an axe injury to the stomach, drowns himself in the swamp. They will return to the mansion and, thinking there is no hope, drown themselves in the swamp. Seitaro and Rin discover the mermaid room and are horrified by the sight. The game will end with her running through the forest, laughing maniacally. The old man convinces her that she will be immortal from consuming the mermaid flesh.
The old man will find her covered in blood and curled on the floor, horrified by her actions. She will be locked in the room for days and eat one of the mermaids' flesh. Rin goes across the swamp and finds the area where the mermaid corpses are. This happens if Yuka, Yuuta, and Seitaro all die. The good end will reveal who he really is and what his intentions were from the beginning. Depending on what the player does will affect how the old man will turn out. After they spend the first night in the mansion, he tells them that he will be visiting someone in a town over. At first, he helps them out by letting them stay at his mansion while they wait for their car to be fixed. The old man is a mysterious person who Rin and her friends meet. Once all of them are knocked down, he returns to normal and doesn't remember anything that happened. He chases after Rin while she destroys the Ophelia paintings. Later, Rin confronts Yuuta who is staring over Yuka's bed. When Seitaro asks Rin to give Yuuta a lantern and lighter, Rin overhears him masturbating and saying Yuka's name. After Yuka's transformation, he suddenly becomes fascinated by the paintings of Ophelia's death. He is the one who unintentionally led himself and his friends to the swamp. If the fire place is unlit, she can either be saved in the good ending or she can be left in her swollen state and never return to normal. One possible choice for her is to ignite the fire place to warm her up, which will kill her. She speaks to Rin through a dream and begs her to take her back. She's the first one to get hit by the "curse" and is immobile after the old man leaves. Later in the game, he is possessed by one of the Tsuchida men's ghosts and tries to kill Rin. He's regarded as the smart member in the group since he tells Rin to ask him anything. He is always bickering with Rin, but he withholds some insults because of their predicament. Despite her lack of smarts, she does figure some things out on her own such as why Yuuta starts acting weird and what is needed to save the women used by the Tsuchida men. She's also regarded as the dumb one in the group, which is why Seitaro tells her to go to him if she has any questions.
Throughout the game, she has a bunch of weird dreams about being under water. Is this the curse of the mermaid in the legend or is there something more to these events? What's more, the man who let them stay is gone and they are unable to contact help. Rin has strange dreams about being under water, Yuka swells up and keeps saying she's cold, and the guys start turning violent.
During their stay, they encounter some weird things happening to the group. Suddenly, they're forced to stay with a mysterious old man when their car stopped working. During their vacation, Rin Yamazaki and her friends get lost in a mountainous area.
