** Video information **

The second level is generally the same scenery as the first. It includes the famous house on the cliff. You can occasionally see some ghosts of Esther and other persons on 3 places: At the leftside coast path in the beginning (You can only see it on the edges of your screen), on the top of the hill at the house and at the far side in the unreachable cave (you'll see a lantarn glow along with a ghost). For the rest, many dialogues differ each time you replay the level. Stunning visuals are still what makes it such beautiful. Have fun!

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- The game is competely randomised. The story will differ each time you reload a level. This results in many objects changing or eventualyl dissapearing and replaced by another element of the story. In the end it all refers to the utlimate message the game wants to give to the players. Playing it many times again will give you a better insight of the complete story (It is not necessary though).

DIFFERENCES IN LEVEL 2 (Aside from different monologues and random sounds):

- In the house on the top of the hill, you can see either a book next to the bed, a book with the coffee mug on it, or simply nothing.
- There is occasionally a ghost on the other side of the cliff inside the unreachable cave. He will disappear when you walk away and back or simply when you walk down the path.
- Once down the path, you can continue to a little beach. At the left, you can either find an orange cone or nothing.
- In the giant gap before the entrance of the cave, at the very end of it, you can find either remnants of a car, a LOT of books or a coffer with clothes in it along with some maps.

** Video specifications **

- All settings on the highest
- MSAA X8
- Vsync enabled (didn't really needed to but it makes the screen more solid)
- Maximum drawing distance
- Filesize: 4.76GB (This is because I don't want to cut the video in parts in order to maintain the best atmosphere between each level, cutting them would really ruin it if you had to stop in the middle of the story)
