Image Credit: Telltale Games Theory 2: “Faith” was Nerissa This correlation is kinda of mean to Nerissa, though. In the story, this was because he wanted to marry her, but you can maybe see the parallel other than that - in this case, Faith is disguising herself as Nerissa to break free of The Crooked Man. And if Faith is still alive, the spell binding her to secrecy and discretion in her seedy work would still be active, and this would extend to the Mirror’s ability to locate her.Īt the same time, however, Swinehart’s tests could have also been to reason out the cause of death, since “magical decapitation ribbon” is probably not in a medical textbook on any plane of existence.Īnd check this out: Faith comes from the story of Donkeyskin, which is about a beautiful princess who disguises herself as a gross donkey lady to escape from her father. An unglamoured head is just a head, this player reasons, and Swinehart would have no need of further testing otherwise. Swinehart’s need to run additional tests on the remains and the Magic Mirror’s inability to locate Faith as evidence of some enchanted shenanigans going on. This thread from the Telltale forums lays it all out, citing Dr. And then the real Faith has to disguise herself as the now-dead Nerissa to cover her tracks and keep from getting murderated herself.

In this case, we have an extra-crazy-making double glamour situation in which Georgie means to murder Faith but accidentally kills Nerissa instead because she’s under the enchantment (possibly because she was covering one of Faith’s work shifts at the strip club/prostitution agency The Pudding and Pie). It means that Faith doesn’t die in Episode 1 - Nerissa does.
