11: Sleepless Night

11: Sleepless Night

Character: Madison Paige

Probably the most popular scene in the game

We meet a new character in this chapter - one Madison Paige - a fairly attractive young woman who is something of an insomniac and finds her lack of sleep to be a very miserable thing.  I guess we can understand that, right? 

The first thing that you should probably do is to check her thoughts - she has a lot of them - and one that you will probably find both interesting and encouraging is to take a shower.  Hmm...  Yeah, a nice hot shower, that will make it much easier to fall asleep, what a great idea!

Madison does not appear to live in a traditional apartment by any stretch of the imagination - in fact this place seems to be either an ex-gym or perhaps some sort of recreation center?  Whichever it is, if the main room did not tip you off that it was originally some sort of commercial space, the bathroom certainly will with its circular urinal and wall of showers! 

As you undress and head for the shower you are given an almost full-frontal view of Madison's nude body, in fact the Grrl Gamers of the world will definitely have reason to complain when you think about it - after all the most that they got to see on Ethan was his bum, and here we get a free run at second base!  As we watch the CS, we are treated to a sensual shower scene with strategic viewpoints that capitalize on the idea of the feminine mystique that leave plenty for the imagination.  Now that that is all done - you bad bad boy -  head over to the toilet to facilitate and then exit the bathroom.

In the living area I sat on the couch and stretched for a bit, and then noticed that the fridge was open - and thought ??!  Why is the fridge open?!  I don't remember leaving that open!

As we close the fridge somebody runs through the shadows in the back of the room!  Before we can be absolutely certain which direction the figure ran, the lights go out!  Now you are telling yourself someone is here - well duh!  Madison quickly runs through her options in her head - what to do?!  Phone for help?  Use the door and head outside in our underwear?  What do we do?!

Right - so we try for the door but it turns out that there are actually two of them, and a fight ensues in which we pretty much trash the place and end up stabbing both of them before we retreat to the relative safety of the bathroom - or rather the bathroom that we thought was safe, but it seems that there is a third guy in here with us that we did not know about!  He grabs us and we get our throat slit - and then wake up from this really bad nightmare!  Whew!  We sit up and fade-to-black!
