** Video information **

The final level, revealing somehow the plot, in either a way you think it really is, or your interpretation you'd like to give it. In the end, I think it all depends on how you feel yourself into the story. Maybe you can reflect yourself in this story? Or at least partially? What I do know is that driving while you are drunk is a very bad idea (obviously) and maybe the author of the mod has encountered the same in his life, and wanted to give a message to all other player to give you the chance to think about it. Either ways, this is the conclusion of the story, and I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I did! 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 4 (Aside from different monologues and random sounds):

- One of the reflections of the candles actually reflect any of the four persons in the story. In this video, it was Dear Esther.
- Some pictures on the island can change.
- At the bunker, there can be different objects on the burnt spot.
- At the collection of the candles, there can be many different items appearing.
- At the garage below by the docs, there can be a reference to 2 people who worked on the mod along with Robert Briscoe.
- At the very top of the mountain next to the fences from the beacon, there can either be Esther, a grim reaper or another person.

** 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: 5.14GB (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)
