The Revenants

**The Revenants** are previous victims of the Presence and its fellow monsters who have been reanimated as undead slaves to be used as a way to lure in more unsuspecting victims. In order to become a Revenant one has to be forcibly taken by the Presence to the "Elsewhere".

It appears that this applies only to people who get taken away while still alive, as neither Natalie nor Elayne LeGrant has been seen as Revenants after they were brutally murdered by Argos LeGrant. In addition to this, neither Isaac Färber nor Sebastian P. Husher (both of whom had committed suicide) has been shown to be Revenants either, further suggesting that characters who die before the Presence (or one of the other monsters) can get to them do not become Revenants.

Certain Revenants appear to still possess some form of free will and memories of their previous lives, though this tends to vary between cases.

Previous characters who have become Revenants are a danger. They can be seen pretending to cry and if approached, the encounter will likely be fatal, ending a character's story. But interacting with the Revenant character when they are uttering **the right phrases** allows the player to talk to the Revenant and get their personal item. The exception is René Artigas, whose Revenant is always dangerous: unlike others characters, there is no opportunity to interact with him safely and he will try to kill the player immediately after getting on his sight.

## A Parting Gift

The opportunity to get the personal item depending on what the Revenant character is saying. When encountered, the Revenant will randomly pick one of two selections of voice lines - the hostile or friendly. Moving to another room makes the Revenant disappear permanently.

Exiting the game to the menu and reloading the save can change the selection. Another method is changing the difficulty to E.T.A. Hoffmann, interacting in the wrong moment and dying, then loading from the latest checkpoint.
