In the very beginning of the game, we appear in a tower, with a strange skull as our only companion. The skull guides us through the tower's puzzles and mazes. How does this skull know so much about the tower, though? An explanation could be that this was his tower before he died, and this theory will be explained further in this guide.

So, we find a strange note next to a book, that leads us on a hunt. The skull keeps trying to discourage us. But as we complete the hunt, (How to complete the hunt fully is in one of my previous guides, make sure to check that out!) we find a key inside the skull's mouth. As we move the key toward the cabinet, the skull yells "Stop! That's mine!". Inside we find two wands, and some hats. Wands, as those used by a wizard. This is evidence that the skull was once a wizard. We also find a book, and when we listen to it using the magical earpiece, we find it says "Here Lies Barry Leipzig, he did the wrong thing". This suggests that the cabinet is some sort of burial rite, and for none other than the skull.

"Two brothers argued near a well, and when one went home, he claimed the other fell."

This is the line spoken by the skull (hereafter referred to as Barry), when you play the magical notes to get to the bridge. The meaning of this might be something simple, such as Barry repeating an old nursery rhyme, but in my opinion, it is a glimpse into his past life. This will make sense by the time you've finished reading the guide.

After shooting the eye-clock and playing the proper musical incantation, we can go to a prison-cell like enviornment, and after about two seconds, we hear a voice shouting. The thing is, if you increase the volume, you can hear the voice screaming at somebody, for apparently sympathizing with a wizard. Combined with the rhyme of Barry when you open the gateway to the prison, which are "The ways of wizard were always weird, if only they would listen. Throughout the ages they've been feared, and many been imprisoned." We can deduce that the wizard is in a prison cell. By listening to the voice more, we can hear it say "You wouldn't feel bad for that wizard if you knew the things he did." This fits in with the theory of Barry pushing his brother off the bridge, as that would be a crime you could be imprisoned for.

So, is Barry a previous wizard who was burned at the stake after killing his own brother? Or am I just grasping at straws? I guess we'll never truly know. But hey, that's just a theory, a game theo-- NO! CUT!
