Confessionals Guide

By Sennzai

Confessionals are located at the end of each of the Landings during the Nightmare Stages. Sitting in these is the only way to move forward to the next stage. In it, a Mysterious Voice comments on Vincent's progress, and asks a single question. Confessional questions are usually awkward or embarrassing, and are opinionated and lacking a right/wrong answer.

Let's get started

Though there is little to do in the confessional itself, Vincent can speak to the Mysterious Voice before sitting down, which gets you more and more irritated responses as the stages go on. There is also a painting behind Vincent that changes on each Stage:

Stage 2: Vincent crucified on a female symbol (♀).
Stage 3: A sheep falling before the crucified Vincent.
Stage 4: 3 sheep falling before the crucified Vincent.
Stage 5: 5 sheep falling before the crucified Vincent.
Stage 6: 7 sheep falling before the crucified Vincent.
Stage 7: 9 sheep falling before the crucified Vincent.
Stage 9: 11 sheep falling before the crucified Vincent.

Below is a list of all the confessional questions that are asked during each stage, and whether they lean towards Law or Chaos. Note that certain questions seem to appear in multiple stages: this is still being investigated.

The Empireo: Stage 9: Questions To Freedom

When you reach the Empireo, the Confessionals work differently. Vincent's Karma meter is locked in, but you will now be given "questions to freedom" that are even more important, as your responses will determine the ending. This is laid out much more simply in the chart on the "Endings" guide. The information below is just for those interested in the mechanics of when/how each question is presented.

- Question 1: Are you prepared to risk your life to get back together with a former lover? (Of course!/Maybe not everything...) (Note: Your answer to this question does not influence the ending or any of the questions following.)

- Question 2: Do you wish for a peaceful life? (Yes/No)

- Question 3: Do you wish for the excitement of Chaos? (Yes/No)

- Question 4: This question will vary based on your Karma meter and/or your answers to Questions # 2 and 3. Listed below are all of the combinations and the resulting question(s) you will be asked.
