Or
The Taxidermist

I decided to wait for a few weeks before I would play the add on chapter for Heavy Rain.


*SPOILER ALERT*

The chapter itself is short and has a wonderful Hitchcock feel to it. You play as Madison, and you visit a suspects house, you find that no one is home so you sneak/break in through a window at the back of the house.

The house itself is full of stuffed animals and has a real creepy tone to it. You head upstairs and begin to snoop around inside the rooms, most of which are empty and seem normal......too normal.

When you go into the bathroom you are presented with Madison bringing her hand to her face in disgust and slight flashes of a dead body in the bathtub, it reminded me alot of the post-rape scene in "From Duck Till Dawn". You find that he has taken all her organs out and is about to stuff her.

When you enter the owners bedroom you find that the woman in the bathtub is not his first victim, you see many woman who have been stuffed and placed in poses, one lying in his bed, one dusting, on sitting on his sofa etc.

Then the owner arrives back and the multi camera comes into effect, you on the left side of the screen and him on the right searching for you.

I played the chapter twice and the first time I escaped and got away, then the camera shows the house and then the sound of a gunshot.

But I started to think what would happen if I let him kill Madison? So the next time I played I made as much noise as I could to tell him where I was upstairs, and he came up and stabbed my in the stomach thus killing me, and this where I think the chapter fails, when Madison is killed we should be shown how fucked up this guy is. All we are shown is a newspaper saying "Where is Madison Page?" and a picture of her.

One of the things I noticed about his "Dolls" as he called them is that they have pale skin, dead eyes, and a joker smile, so this is how I think the chapter should have ended, in regards to Madison been killed.

When the player is shown the photo of Madison the camera would zoom in on one of her eyes, then pull back to reveal what happened to her, she is now stuff, and dressed like a 1960's housewife, her eyes staring blankly forward and with that wide smile, The Taxidermist would then sit down beside her, turn on the tv, and start to watch it. The camera would cut between both Madison and The Taxidermist, then he would put his arm around her, and place his hand on the inside of her thigh, then have a close up of Madison's black face looking right into the camera, then the Taxidermist leans over and licks her cheek and says, "You're my new favorite" then fade to black.
