The Well Speaks To Me is the first in a series of RPG Maker horror games by Michaela Thisten. The games all take place in, and center around, the Forest, a strange forest with several villages inside where people are known to disappear mysteriously.The first game follows a nameless girl living alone in a cabin in the forest, and follows her as she carries out her daily chores. Her family was apparently killed in a horrible accident, leaving her to fend for herself, and she hopes to escape one day. Something is going to happen in six days. Sometimes, she sees a strange figure in the window. And for some reason, the well speaks to her...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The second game, They Watch From The Walls, follows a girl named Carrie at the Halloween festival. She runs into a scarecrow calling himself Mr. Pumpkin who invites her to his haunted house attraction for free. She accepts the offer, thinking it will be some harmless fun. But soon after she enters, the door locks, and it becomes apparent that this is no ordinary house- the danger is very real, and she will have to play Mr. Pumpkin's twisted game to escape his clutches.Like Veins Beneath The Town, the third game, follows recurring character Dr. Jesse Thornheart, an investigator known as a Chastiser, as he ventures into Ishinakku Village to investigate the kidnappings of 21 women by a monster known as the Suturer. Unfortunately, the townspeople are unwelcoming towards outsiders, so he is mostly on his own as he descends into the dark mines.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Creator Cameo: Micheala Thisten appears as an NPC at least once per game. In the first game, she shows up in the Easter Egg to give out the secret code, in the second game as an NPC in the Halloween festival, and in the third game as an NPC in Ishinakku Village.

Multiple Endings
 The Well Speaks To Me (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: Two, depending on which door you enter in the final room. Bad Ending: If you enter the door on the right, which only requires a key you are automatically given, Carrie will fall into a trap set by Mr. Pumpkin, who reveals himself to be a child trafficker planning on selling her and the other kids off- the story ends with them crying while Doctor Thornheart is attacked by the angry townspeople for failing to save their children. Good Ending: To get it, you need to find the three Pumpkin Keys hidden in the second section of the game. The ending plays out like the bad end, until Doctor Thornheart stabs Mr. Pumpkin in the back and saves the kids. Mr. Pumpkin spitefully kills himself to avoid giving any information on his employers, and Doctor Thornheart is seen musing on what connections this case has to the well incident from the previous game.

Abandoned Mine
 The Well Speaks To Me (Video Game) / int_1bc0ca82
comment
Abandoned Mine: The bulk of the game is spent in the Abandoned Railway Project, a series of caverns dug in a project to create a railway under Ishinakku Village that was abandoned. The workers left many things there like notes, but the only living being still in the mines is the monstrous Suturer, who is dragging women of the village into the mines so he can kill them and turn them into dolls.

Bittersweet Ending: Jesse manages to defeat the Suturer, preventing him from killing any more women, but Mr. Maigata was murdered while Jesse was away, Laura Maigata was already killed by the Suturer, and Jesse has to flee the town as the villagers hate him for violating their contract with the demons. On top of that, Jesse has violent flashbacks to his past as an unwilling test subject of some horrible experiment.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 The Well Speaks To Me (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early Installment Weirdness: The first game is rather different from subsequent ones. Instead of exploring an environment and working towards a specific goal, you are confined to a small space where you spend six days doing chores and seeing your protagonist react to everything. The protagonist herself is unnamed, unlike Carrie and Jesse. In addition, the story is told in a very surreal presentation, which can make it hard to understand, while later games have more straightforward plots.

Dug Too Deep: The Ishinakku Railway miners dug into a cavern to make a railway, and were instructed to dig several levels beyond what was apparently needed (the reason being to get at a jewel mine. In the process, the miners ran into the demons who resided down there- though it is unclear if they died or bolted before anything happened to them.

Unfortunately, by the time Jesse returns having accomplished his task, he discovers that Mr. Maigata has mysteriously and abruptly died, with Jesse suspecting he was murdered by the demon-worshipping townsfolk for helping Jesse, leaving him with no way to obtain the info he wants.

comment
Red Herring: Notes in the Ishinakku Railway from the mine workers reveal that what seemed to be a simple mining project to create an underground railroad is far more. The workers have to dig very deep and hear strange noises, and the higher-ups refuse to tell them exactly why they are doing this. This all hints at the mayor having some sort of dirty business with the demons. In truth, there was a jewel mine deep inside and the mayor wanted the jewels, so the cover-up was completely unrelated to the demon threat.
