Strange Pictures in the Prison Cell

[PoemOfTheLastMoment]

My mistake....it's a mess hall...it's that place where you meet Eddie in the prison and see the portrait with the dead James at the corner....the place where you get the gluttonous Pig tablet!

Cafeteria.

[alone in the town]

A 'canteen' is a cafeteria.

[The Adversary]

Huh. Never heard of it. Maybe if the UK spoke English!

I'd like one mustard, please.

The graphic artist who made the menu must have looked for inspiration from historical photos found here. There's a photo titled "Alcatraz Food 1956" featuring a guard standing beneath a food menu that seems almost identical to the one that appears in the game. It's just missing the fork and spoon doodle.

The date the photo was taken? March 13th, 1956.

We changed to Alcatraz but I'm curious about that, what the hell on earth could mean those pictures?!

I thought some about it but still I can't find a logic in there.

And c'mon don't come with "Read the thread", there is no clear answer in there.

Woman in Flight is the prisoners account of the "witch," Jennifer Carroll. 436 People at a Recital is the prisoners account of the Ceremony of the Resurrection of the Deceased; the conjuring of Xuchilbara. Burning Person--the Japanese script doesn't specify whether it's male or female--is the prisoners precognition of Lakeview Hotels immolation.

[NemesisFY]

Yeah but who made it, what is it meaning on the story?

And who are those prisoners? What is the source?

[JuriDawn]

No one's speculated on that because there's not one fact to base such speculation on. All we can say is that it was a person who was incarcerated at Toluca Prison. No clues are given to the person's identity; it's not important.

The LakeView Hotel burned down about a year ago. Didn't Toluca Prison close down several years ago? Does this mean the Hotel was on fire twice?

Christ, you quoted the answer to your own question.

Oh, so Toluca closed down after the Lakeview Hotel burned a year ago. I thought that the prison closed down decades ago.
Unless someone snuck in there and painted those drawings.

Canteen isn't just an English term, if it is at all. It's used in the military plus at camps like the rodeo camp I went to as a kid (shut up). It can apply to food shops as well as cafeterias.

I think it's kind of cool that some things were taken from Alcatraz. I've been there as well.

So like a premonition?

Speaking Of Pre-Cognition..There's a picture of James holding Mary in one of the prison cells...it's really tiny and can only be seen at the highest resolution....
i've taken a screenshot but i forgot to direct my flashlight at it so it's pretty dark and you can barely make it out ..i'll post it later in the week.,..

I personally cannot find any meaning to them involving the game's story line. Maybe they mean something maybe they don't. But I'm guessing that's for the designers to know and for us to find out? No idea.

I see an alternate interpretation of the Burning Man. Assuming that Angela had not only killed her father but burned down her home (possibly with her mother and brother inside), one can also think of the corpse of Thomas Orosco burning in his house. (Meaning I believe the burning staircase is has double-sided symbolism--that of Lakeview Hotel and Angela's home).

[The Adversary]

There's no evidence Angela burned her house down. Not 10 years ago, and not now.
