Epilogue
The epilogue is a special feature that you must buy to unlock. In the epilogue, you are trapped inside the hotel girl's memory, where she waits for her lover in the church, just before the dam breaks. The old lady and the hotel man are also trapped with you, and give you hints and clues to help you escape the nightmare of a memory. You must convince the girl her lover will never come, before the dam breaks and drowns you all. You go through a series of puzzles to collect objects, one of which is an engagement ring, which you must give to the girl to prove her lover's betrayal. However she does not believe you and goes to a crazy conclusion that he lost it by accident. Then, you must help the old lady restore her wealth and a photo of her, and then she helps you find a diary of a girl who was fooled by the girls lover. In the diary, the writer says she isn't the only victim of the man. You give this to the girl, and then she believes you. Then the game ends.
