David Caulker

Chief Inspector David Caulker is not only one of the detectives assigned to Erica's case, but he also maintains a clandestine involvement with the Delphi House community. Interestingly, he is revealed to be Kirstie Caulker's father, adding a layer of complexity to the situation. This connection between David and Kirstie raises intriguing questions about his motivations and potential conflicts of interest within the investigation.

## Background

Very little is known about David. He is depicted as a caring father to Kirstie. It is unclear whether David and Duncan Blake have worked together in the past, as they are introduced to Erica and Blake by Dr. Rosa Ballard when they arrive at Delphi House.

## Present day

Not much is known about David's background or occupation before he became involved in Erica's case. It is speculated that due to his busy schedule, he may have asked Flowers or Dr. Ballard to keep Kirstie at Delphi House while he is working. This assumption is based on the understanding that Kirstie requires ongoing care and attention due to her potential autism or other special needs.

## Delphi House

Caulker and Dr. Ballard meet Erica and Blake for the first time when both arrive to Delphi House. Dr. Ballard introduces him and herself to both Erica and Blake. Caulker stays downstairs talking to Blake while Dr. Ballard takes Erica upstairs.

* If Erica roams around Delphi House when they first arrive, she would  ***peek on***  Dr. Ballard and Caulker discussing some matters.

### Day 1

Caulker is not seen this day. Presumably he spends his day investigating about the killer and gathering information.

### Day 2

Erica, Blake, and Flowers decide to visit Caulker at his nearby house, which is not far from Delphi House. During their visit, the shocking revelation of the killer's identity is unveiled: Mia Greene. The news deeply troubles everyone, as it contradicts the belief that Mia had died on the same day Alodie Carter did. The revelation raises further questions and adds to the distressing nature of the situation.

If Erica ***hung out with Kirstie***, Caulker would intentionally spill some tea on Erica, he then hands over a napkin with 'We need to talk' written in it.

## David's fate

Depending on what Erica did, David's story changes. However, regardless of how things unravel, David would always die.

David tells Erica to go wash herself in the upstairs bathroom after she has a nosebleed.
Mia Greene breaks into Caulker's house shortly after and murders Caulker right on the spot. She also brands Caulker's chest with the ***Delphic Epsilon*** Symbol.

* If Erica decides to ***peek through the window***, she would find Caulker dead.

* If Erica decides to  ***Go downstairs*** however, she would find Caulker is still alive. He makes a last effort and hands Erica a crumbled piece of paper. This paper contains a drawing made by Kirstie, his most valued possession.

## Notes/Trivia

* If Erica ***hangs out with Kirstie***, she reveals that Caulker confided in her about the secrets of Delphi House and the institution's practice of brainwashing people.
	+ It is presumed that Caulker intended to disclose the truth about Delphi House to Erica before he was killed by Greene.

* It is unclear if Blake and Caulker had met before, as Caulker introduces himself to Blake and Erica when they arrive at Delphi House.
	+ This could imply that Caulker had been collaborating with them prior to the start of the game.
