## Meaning of hints and advices

* The Curator's quote from *"Hamlet"* — *"To thine own self be true"* — foreshadows the plot of the game, pointing at the fact that Andrew/Anthony is the only real person.
* The first hint means Anthony should forgive himself for the fire and deaths of his family members.
* The second hint means the demons are created from Anthony's regret and every protagonist except him has their own demon. The Curator's additional quote from *"A Woman of No Importance"* — "every saint has a past and every sinner has a future" — hints at innocence of Mary, who was forced to make false acccusations by Carver.
* The Curator's quote from *"Dhammapada"* means that every protagonist except Andrew must confront their demon and break their locked traits to survive the night. The Curator also uses his cards to explain that there is only one real person, Anthony. The cards is revealed to be King of Hearts, which is nicknamed "suicide king", and this fact hints at possible Anthony's suicide.
