Ghastly

**Ghastly** is one of the main characters in *Close Your Eyes: Redux Final Expansion*, *Close Your Eyes: Twisted Puzzle* from the Close Your Eyes: Anniversary Remake, and reappears in *Feast Your Eyes*.

## Appearance

Ghastly is a young red-haired woman in a yellow dress, carrying a concealed pistol with her.

## Biography

A friend of one of the Marshmallow Monk's victims, the boy by the tracks, she is hunting for his killer but is unsure of who or what they are.

### *Close Your Eyes*

Ghastly is briefly encountered in the subway station, asking Marshmallow a series of cryptic questions and being confused as to how she got there. After leaving the room, she will disappear.

Later, in the graveyard, Ghastly gives a series of cryptic responses to Marshmallow before going off. She will reappear in the left wing of the mansion upon returning to it, ambushing Marshmallow with their crimes and revealing how she was close to one of their victims. Ghastly then pulls out a gun and chases Marshmallow through the mansion, leading to a deadly game of cat and mouse in the library that ultimately results in her being fatally wounded with a knife. She drops her gun, which can then be picked up. She crawls away into the next room, waiting to die.

If she is followed, Ghastly will ask Marshmallow to take away the pain and put her out of her misery, saying that it's for the best that someone like them is her killer instead of a scarier individual. From here, several things can happen:

"**You're A Winner!":** If Marshmallow chooses not to kill Ghastly, wanting to change their ways, The Host will appear and mock them, saying that he knows Marshmallow loves being a killer, but decides that they have won his game. He drags them away, leaving Ghastly to presumably die from her injuries.

**"Everyone Dies":** If Marshmallow chooses to kill Ghastly, they lament that they always will be a murderer and mercifully kills her by putting a knife through her heart. Marshmallow then says that there is one final person to kill and hangs themself.

### *Close Your Eyes: Twisted Puzzle*

In the strange nightmare Marshmallow finds themself trapped in, a "house" appears seemingly belonging to Ghastly, full of journal entries containing things that she said to them once before. While in her home, the Fairy roams the hallways, searching for Marshmallow.

### *Feast Your Eyes*

Ghastly first appears in the background, running away before she can be seen in full view by Marshmallow. Later, she will reappear in a large open space, facing towards a small pond and looking at a symbol on the wall opposite of her. When interacted with, she will ask confusing questions reminiscent of things she once asked Marshmallow in *Close Your Eyes*. Many of the dialogue prompts show that Marshmallow recognizes her and remembers that they killed her, and can choose to respond to her questions, acknowledge that they killed her, or write her off as being not real.

Upon returning to the room later, Ghastly is shown to have taken off her clothes and begins walking slowly towards the wall she was staring at. She will walk across the water and fade away when she reaches her destination.

### *A Ghastly Tale*

Ghastly, angered that Marshmallow escaped death row, steals her fathers handgun and vows to get revenge. Before she leaves a knock is heard at her door and a doll named Jeremy greets her. Ghastly, having forgotten or remembered him, then recalls a day where she found a doll in the woods. She and Jeremy make their way to the front door and tells him that he can come on her quest for revenge.

## Trivia

* There appears to be a link between Ghastly and the Fairy. Besides the Fairy appearing in her house and having distinct red hair much like Ghastly does, it is unclear what said connection is.
* Ghastly appears to know Marshmallow Monk in some capacity as she is angered that they escaped death row. This prompts her to steal her fathers gun and hunt Marshmallow down leading to the events of A Ghastly Tale.
