Response to Neighborhood 3 Ending

- When I see this play, I expect to see young kids that are warped into this game. They are actually like zombies in the real world. I expect to see action going on within the game that is the focus, as well as outside of the game while they are still playing because the story progresses along with the games progression.

- When blake shoves himself away from the computer, he is shivering and his last word is "mom?" because the game and real life are parallel in this story. He killed his own mother without meaning to. Chapter 9 was told from the mom's perspective while chapter 10 was his when he came back to realization after he killed the final boss in the final house (his own) in the game.

- I think it's significant that the parent look like zombies for one of 2 reasons if not both. The first is that while the children were zombies from the perspective of the real world, or the outside world, it's only fitting that the opposite would be true in the world that came to substitute reality for the kids who played this game and became obsessed. Also, I think there may be a metaphor in making everyone a zombie in the game. It may represent how although the kids are zombies for the video game, everyone is a zombie to other things of the world.
