Judging from the replies, no one has seen the hardcore mode ending yet. And before I begin, I'd just like to say - Kate is the proxy, it's obvious. Anyway..

After I beat the game, I messed around with the options and I saw Hardcore mode. After some rage, I finally beat it and I saw that the ending was different. (and on YouTube) From what I saw, after Kate attacks you when the fire goes out, instead of the credits rolling like in Normal mode, we get 2 extra shots that I will start debating on.

1. The first one seems like the character is falling from somewhere, and that somewhere looks a lot like in-between the Radio Tower. That brings some questions:

How can you possibly end up there? After Kate attacks you you are presumably left there, dead. But how can you just end up at the top of the tower while being down in the cabin in the previous scene. It doesn't make sense. Did Kate beat the crap out of you and climb up the tower, then drop you off, or did she knock you out and had Slender Man teleport you up there and drop you off?

2. The second and final one is the camera lying on the ground, flipping over after the fall. This can possibly mean a sequel, but it also brings to the following questions:

Did Lauren survive that fall? It's seems very unlikely if you think back about how tall that tower is. Since it's often considered that the entire game is just a recording from Lauren's camera, it can be speculated that Lauren is in fact dead, while the camera survived.

This also confirms that Lauren did in fact fall off the tower since she ends up outside, which brings us back at the questions over the 1st scene.

----

So, what do you guys think?

Everyone who's said Kate is the proxy have only had "because it's obvious" or something similar as the reasoning. Is there any clue, or anything that happens in the game that make you think this? Charles went missing, and his note shows he wasn't of sound mind. The note is found outside where you first encounter him.

We were actually discussing the hardcore ending a few pages ago. Though I beat it and I never saw the "falling" shots, only the camera coming to life laying on the ground. Do you have a screen cap of it?

I think it's her because of the female looks when she attacks you, like the hair, yeah it sounds a little stupid but when she jumps in your face if you look at her hair you can clearly see it's a girl's hair.

And for the falling scene, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rInJBKCsW4

Hey, some of us suck, & are still dicking around in the woods. So could we keep the "Who is the proxy" discussions in spoilers? Thank you.

That does sound stupid. What the Hell is "girl hair"? And I have to point out, whenever you see stillshots of the protagonist, her hair isn't exactly silky & luxurious.

Shamelessly cheated my way through The Eight Pages, but the next level, I think I'll be able to do. I don't know, depends on how much there is after the generators.

Having been attacked by the proxy for the first time,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
it's definitely a woman. However, CR is also probably female. Though I am confused as to why either one would want to kill Lauren. I would hope that the answer isn't just "mind control." Another question I can't shake is who wanted me to go into this mine & why.
It was pretty sad, I kept focusing the flashlight at it going, "Goooooo awaaaaay. Get. No one wants you here."

I assume it's possible to eventually get it to flee, as it seems unlikely that you could run away from it the whole level.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
THIS, everyone. Kate is NOT the proxy, as you can HEAR her in the final audio log of the game, crying as CR sets himself on fire (sounding relatively sane, or at least, not all snarly like the Proxy is), which happened SOME TIME RECENTLY before Lauren arrived. This means that Kate was ahead of you the entire game. Knowing this, HOW COULD SHE BE THE PROXY WHEN SHE'S AHEAD OF YOU IN THE HIKE TO THE TOWER? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! She can't be at the mine attempting to face-rape you, and ahead of you at the same time. The proxy is the fourth character: CHARLES MATHESON. The evidence is UNDENIABLE; the missing poster, the "final letter" signed "CHARLES M." that appears RIGHT OUTSIDE THE MINES, where the PROXY FIRST APPEARS.

I'm sorry for my straight-forward-ness, but the proxy is Charles Matheson. End of discussion. Now we must start speculating: Who was Charles? A child that went missing who was living in Kate's area some time ago sounds most likely. We'll probably get more on his backstory in the upcoming four sequels. What was he doing in the years that he's been missing? Scrounging around the mine?

He definitely has some of Slendy's teleportation powers, as he uses them to save Lauren from the burning building at the end of the extended Hardcore ending (Slendy's not done with her yet...CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT GAME). The way he impossibly appears over wide areas of the mine in little time also shows that he can definitely teleport.


Also, I'm going to post a re-do on the summary I posted a few pages back, as a few more re-plays and re-reads of the notes have shown me that parts of it were wrong. Soon.

Also, Steve, I've been wanting to say this for the entire year that I've been on uF, but never have for whatever reason: Your avatar is AWESOME.

Man, I don't care which character people assume the proxy is, just so long as I stop seeing people online referring to that character as "Masky" or "Jeff the Killer."

I swear I will never correct someone on calling Slender Man "Slender" ever again if those people can just stop with that.

^ A friend of mine actually referred to the Proxy as "ToTheArk." He was all like, "I can't pass the mine because TOTHEARK KEEPS FUCKING KILLING ME!"

I headdesked so many times that I descended into a thoughtless dream-world for a century, only to be awakened and taken back to my own time in a police box that was strangely bigger on the inside. Then I fell into a DeLorean, which was being microwaved by a microwave that turns bananas green. I didn't age, somehow.

I think it was a dream.

I decided to just make this as a tool to combat the waves of ignorance on the topic. Use it as you will.

... because charles initials aren't cr....


But on the missing poster it startes with "Charles something jR." So it's not his initials, it's the first and last letter on the missing poster...granted it's probably not the smartest theory, I just looked at it and was like "huh, perhaps it's a subtle piece of misdirection."

On the discussion on who the proxy is;

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Everyone saying that Kate was only an hour ahead because of how recent CR's corpse was so she couldn't be masky, but we have no frame of reference for when he set himself on fire so saying it was only one hour is really based off nothing. At the very least it would be several hours after the fact since the corpse is not smouldering or smoking, so the fire has died out and the body cooled down and stopped smoking. She also had at least a day between jumping out her window and Lauren arriving since it's night when she jumps out and Lauren arrives in the afternoon, not to mention Lauren loses an entire night between stage two and three whereas we have no proof Kate and CR suffered such a setback on their path to the tower.

Realistically there is no proof within the game of when the body died or who the proxy is; I believe it's Kate because when I look at proxy the hair screams female. We have no idea for sure who CR is, and the poster for Chales M. JR starts with C and ends with R. Granted I've never found his final message so I can't speak to it's contents, but going off the lack of description it could mean his suicide by fire.

As to why it was there, Kate could have left it post-proxy in her insanity.

In short, to be blunt, there is no definitative proof either way; all we know is Kate's fate is unaccounted for and has the hair length to be corpsy, we don't know who CR actually is or what his story is beyond him dying, Kate had at least a one day head start on Lauren and there's no evidence she and CR had any delays there, CM as well is an unknown.


So really anyone who says that there is definiate proof one way or the other is a liar.
