Bobby's Reels

These are a series of ten reel recordings made by Bobby, the son of the Saginaw Family Park's owner, and found in various places throughout each level. Through them, Juliette can learn more about the aftermath of the landslide and the events leading up to the park's destruction.

By collecting all ten recordings, the player will unlock the "Bobby's Reels" achievement.

Reel no. 1
I'm sorry I haven't been in touch. Please don't be mad at me for this. When I last saw you, we were just little kids, and I hope you can still recognize the voice of your brother even though he is grown up.

Reel no. 2
Just after you left, there was a big storm. The ground was rumbling, and the siblings got scared, so we went back to the village. Father told everyone to go home and lock their doors. After a couple of hours, the whole ground shook. It was like the whole town was being eaten by the mountain. Father and I climbed up on the roof and sat there for hours. Mother drowned in her bed.

Reel no. 3
Everyone else died too. Aunt Julie, Stephen and the twins, Josephine and Emil. Everyone. It was just me, Father and the siblings left. We, we moved to the house on the hill, because it hadn't been struck by the landslide. There was a lot of activity in the park the following days. A lot of the tourists had died as well. The newspapers wanted to interview us about the tragedy, but Father didn't want to talk to them. Nothing was like before. We were all alone. Can you imagine? But Father kept saying it was for the greater good.

Reel no. 4
Before the storm, everyone had made Father the sole beneficiary, so we had a lot of money. Father used the funds to buy the park from the Saginaw Company. He got it for a good price, because all the rides were broken, and no roads were left. I mean, almost all of the houses were buried underneath a thick layer of soil. Where would all the tourists live?

Reel no. 5
After a while, we moved to the old farm. He worked on his machine on the second floor all day, and put me in charge of catching crows and bringing them to him, and then burning the corpses. At the end he actually let me do more as well, because he was away all the time. I don't really know what I was doing, but it was kind of fun. I became friends with a birdwatcher called Kristoph, who lived in a trailer pretty close to the house. He made wooden flutes, and had four pet crows that would caw when he played the flute. He was nice, but one day he was gone. I guess he wasn't supposed to be there.

Reel no. 6
Ever since the storm, the park has been covered in a red mist at night. Father had a lot of people laying down pipes all over the park. The pipes would capture the mist, and then Father would put it into spray cans and sell the cans as bug pesticide. One day we didn't sell the cans anymore, and the people who worked in the factory all went away.

Reel no. 7
We turned the factory into a hospital. We had thirteen rooms, with thirteen beds and thirteen computers. Me and the siblings all slept on the second floor. I was in charge of taking care of the patients. Most of the time they were asleep. Sometimes I gave them pills, or helped them to the toilet, or taking a shower. They were always so confused. Sometimes I talked to them, but they would only stare at me, or stare at the ceiling, and then fall asleep again.

Reel no. 8
There's one patient that I especially like. She is very beautiful. I will sit by her side for hours watching her breathe. Her name is Jill.

After a couple of weeks, the patients started disappearing one by one. I would take them to the showers as usual and they would never come back. Father said they had gone home, but he was lying because, yesterday, I found their belongings in one of the rooms on the top floor.

Today it was only me and Jill left. I was told to take her to the showers too, and I said I would, but I picked her up and tried to escape instead.

Reel no. 9
She was so heavy, and it took me far too long to carry her through the corridor. I had only gotten to the elevator room when the siblings catched [sic] up with me. I broke a window and jumped out, but they took Jill with them. I managed to escape and ended up at the old hotel. I know what Father does to those who doesn't [sic] obey him, and I know my life will end if they find me.

Reel no. 10
I'm so sorry for what I did to you. Maybe I will join you soon. Please don't be mad at me for saying that. I can hear the helicopter. They're looking for me. I love you Robin, my beautiful sister. I love you Jill, my beautiful girlfriend. The time has come. All praise Sylvio, the blood of the mist inside my skin.

Final Recording
One last recording from Bobby can be found in room 6 of the Saginaw Park Hotel. It's still on a reel recorder and can't be picked up. Presumably for this reason, it doesn't count towards the "Bobby's Reels" achievement.
