The very end of this newspaper clipping says “Looking stunning in her black gown, revealed to us exclusively that the couple are indeed expecting.” This tells us that the Wife was pregnant before the couple was married.However, we might get a little clue based on a note the Wife writes to her unborn daughter. We do not know how long the two of them had known each other before getting engaged, nor do we know the amount of time between the engagement and the marriage.

Saturday, June 9th: The couple gets married.His works are highly praised in the newspaper article entitled, “An Artist’s Triumph.” After said engagment, the Painter hosts a successful exhibit of his latest paintings, and brings his then fiancée along with him to the gallery opening.The Painter and his Wife are a couple who become engaged.

However, if you find it easier to follow a timeline with an actual year attached, I will put the speculated year, starting with 1917, to go off of next to each year title. Since the year is intentionally left vague, I will continue this timeline without said years attached and go by basic calendar years starting with their marriage, and go from there. The latter is most likely, based on the Painter’s war history and the year you can find on one of his medals. There are three years in which June 9th falls on a Saturday during that time: 1900, 1906, and 1917. If we remove the outliers from this equation, the likely explanation is the marriage took place sometime between 19, if we take the house and fashion style of the couple as further indicators. Granted, there are a number of items in the game that would be too modern for the time period this story appears to be set in (the air fresheners are the biggest example). Therefore, the game at the very least takes place after 1900. In the upper right hand corner you see what appears to be a date, which has been smudged a little, but the first two numbers are left. One, there is a receipt found in the bathroom at the start of the game, which reveals the Painter has a prosthetic leg. However, you can speculate what year it might be based on several factors. The Painter and his Wife were married on Saturday, June 9th, which is the first date we’re given. Also keep in mind this has been put together from evidence from the game (both from the main and Inheritance), as well as my own speculation.įor the sake of setting the stage, let’s begin with a possible year the entire story begins. Disclaimer: This is a very, very long post.
