I think they are almost all parts of the truth. I don't think she was abused as a child, I think she was "rescued" from a warzone and brought up in the "saviour" country. I think she was abused by Jonan who either was her adoptive parent or her significant other and she is escaping from the hospital after he hit her again and she had a psychotic break. Trying to deal with feeling like nothing about her is "her" she was taken from her home, which may not even exist anymore, has countless injuries from both accidents and abuse, and was raised/lived with an abuser that made her act the way he wants. Without her consent her home was wiped away, her body was changed, and her personality was shaped. Her past present and future were all controlled by someone else and that is why she is having broke down. She has nothing to hold onto in order to steady and anchor herself and so delusion is just as viable as reality when you have no control either way.
I think the figure at the end is Johan. She is desperately trying to escape him but doesn't have anywhere else to go.
I didn't quite understand what was going on with this storyline at first, but after replaying it, it became clear for the most part. I say this because there seems to be different possible endings due to the array of options presented to the player. Think of this game as a quite mini version of Detroit: Become Human or Until Dawn. Overall, I enjoyed the game.
A very thought provoking little game here. I had no idea what I was getting into. The different options to choose from (when recounting what might have happened to Laynie) lead to some very interesting outcomes. Regardless of what information you gather, and what ending you receive; it leaves you wondering what the 'truth' of Laynie's situation may very well be. This is a very profound game when you let your brain explore the themes being presented here.
I talk and theorise a bit more about it in my playthrough. This was very fun to experience and it has left a bit of an impression on me.

Interesting dialogues and a chill but eerie atmosphere. It's a good experience, nice to see something different.
Was the game made with the gamemaker engine? thanks!
Yes!
I am probably super off base,

The narration and story are very interesting!
I wish there was a way to save progress, had to replay the game every time to see the different endings.
Felt horrible playing it, the words describe things perfectly, thank you
This was a very interesting game, but I think I'm not smart enough to completely comprehend it, lol.
It's body dysphoria + paranoid schizophrenia = the game!
