Just completed Gray Matter! A very nice little game, but I have a small handful of story-related questions I hope y'all wouldn't mind helping me answer.
1. When Angela runs out, Sam gets to see Dr. Styles without his mask. "Your face..." she comments. Seeing his face, it looks to be completely healed, not burnt at all. Why was his face healed? Was it permanent?
2. Sam found a box under Helena's bed containing some syringes, and concluded that she was using drugs. This makes Sam more suspicious of her, but as far as I recall it doesn't come up again. Was Helena actually on drugs? What kind?
3. So Angela had been born with extraordinary powers, like her father who was a renowned magician. She could not control her powers, and ended up accidentally killing her own father. She starts at Oxford to seek out Dr. Styles, knowing he is interested in paranormal research and hoping he might be able to help her. When she approaches him, she is rejected. Angry, she ends up killing two people later the same night, one of whom is his wife Laura. May or may not have been an accident. She has a breakdown, and starts to believe that she is Laura, making appearances for Dr. Styles.
Did I get everything right?
4. What was the ghostly image in the background of the photograph? Presumably it was Angela (or her spirit) who was following them?
5. Linkweller had nothing to do with anything, and was just a red herring?
