The trauma causes Martha to become both deaf and mute (a condition she later reveals she faked for fifteen years), while Giulia simply represses the terrible memories of her treatment at the hands of Irene. Irene probably wasn't a particularly good person to begin with (remember, she married a Nazi officer), but the side effects of the meth addiction she developed led her to violently lash out at her children - Giulia in particular. To treat her symptoms, she was prescribed a German drug called Pervitin - otherwise known as methamphetamine. Irene had a difficult pregnancy and childbirth with Martha and Giulia, which left her infertile and weak. Each has plenty of evidence for and against it, and ultimately the truth is what the player chooses to believe.įirst off, let's take a look at the things we can be reasonably sure truly happened. While it's impossible to say for sure what really happened, two scenarios stand out as the most plausible. While you can choose your responses to the mirror's questions, it quickly becomes clear - if it wasn't already - that some or all of the game's events only occurred in Giulia's head.

After listening to a narrated account of her treatment, the player has a conversation with Giulia's reflection in a mirror, also in the form of a marionette. Most likely at Irene's request, Don Attilio had psychiatric hospital staff waiting to take Giulia into their care.

Upon entering the church, Giulia's perspective changes to a dreamlike environment filled with marionettes instead of people. He encourages her to come to stay with him, so he can keep her safe from the Allied bombing and get her help. After attempting to piece together her lost memories via the puppet theatre, Giulia phones her priest Don Attilio for help.
