Believe it or not, this is actually used as a concept in the dark comedy/psychological horror comic book called “Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.” It's written by Invader Zim creator Jhonen Vasquez. In the comic book, the main character Johnny is a mass murderer who keeps telling others that he needs to kill people in order to "feed the wall" in his basement. As the story progresses, it's revealed that the "wall" in his basement is literally alive and it's completely blood red. If Johnny doesn't kill enough people, the "wall" would turn into an eldritch abomination that will engulf the world within its bloody red mass. I won't spoil the ending for you guys but please check out this comic book, it's really good.

This seems to be very symbolic for me. The first big clue I got was from when you look at Embry's drawing. Their initials spelled E.G.O, like the mind. And from what Monster!Embry said about being afraid of being a monster themselves and Dr. D saying that "getting help would take away the excuse of why this was happening". It seems that Embry is suffering from some kind of mental or internal struggle but refuses to address it because doing so would mean having to deal with the ugly side of themselves. They feed 'it' to keep it quite, to ignore it, but that only makes it bigger to deal with. Harder to control. But facing it means dealing with consequences and that's scary. Like the Doctor said, you have to keep moving forward or else nothing will get done, and I think that's what happens at the end. Embry making the choice to finally face their problem instead of letting it grow and fester.
@Sev_eros
@Sev_eros 3 года назад
i think its likely just symbolism for some sort of mental dillema. as all the other NPCs at the market are simply faceless to them. not just that but they likely are the one who sees D light as just a clown for even offering to help, despite likely having been a real doctor. by the end where she just goes back to sleep it likely just means they're ignoring their problem again as the doctor failed to help, becoming just another faceless NPC during the cutscene. and like the doc said. they're likely just using that mental disorder, maybe something like anxiety or depression to justify growing stagnant i do really like the idea of it being some sort of literal manipulating shapeshifting monster though

I took it to be a rather literal shapeshifter just doing gaslighting stuff. But otherwhise it fits mental illness quite well too, especially at the end where she confronted "herself" where it talks about why she wouldnt want help, because she would have to actually change stuff if she did Though in actuality here this was probably just her feeling hopeless about improving the situation, not wanting people to die, and not knowing what to do.

Yeah, is like when you are depressed and feel like you are a attention seeker in your mind. And that you think only about yourself. Hopeless and perhaps "addicted" to this state of mind because you are stuck and you don't know what to do. And perhaps the fact that they need to start to take decisions for themselfs and it feels like a burden that they have to carry. They need to move foward, to move one, but there will be always something that they can't let go. Idk i just feel like it fits the game story.
@JuriAmari
@JuriAmari 3 года назад
Yeah. Feels like this plot could be taking place in the 90s. The vibe kinda feels like a Sat AM cartoon gone extremely wrong. Another metaphor it could also fit into is seasonal depression. I’m considering that the outdoors looks rather cold and hostile, Embry’s been caring for the monster for 4 months (which can be the time period somebody goes through seasonal depression), and the D in Dr. D. Light’s name could represent day. Her parents’ absence could mean they either also are affected by the condition or they don’t really understand what’s going on either. Edit: Apparently Embry’s gender neutral. Swap she with ‘they’. Apologies!

I think the biggest clue that the "monster" is symbolic, rather than a literal monster in the basement, is the fact that when the doctor arrives the protagonist suddenly can't find the key to unlock the door & when they do find it it's hidden inside of the old children's toy in her room. Up til now, the food the protagonist has been apparently throwing down the stairs hasn't actually been going to a "monster" at all - if anything, the protagonist themselves has probably been eating it considering we never actually see them eat anything themselves - but in either case it's clear that the door hasn't actually been opened until it *had* to be opened after the doctor arrived.

Well, that does seem to be the point. Ngl I got spoiled by just wandering down here first, and was expecting the game to vilify him, but that doesn't seem like the intent. The fact that a kinda nosy but helpful person gets hurt because of the protag also goes along with the addiction interpretation some people brought up. Therapists often come off as pressing, even if you know you're well-meaning, and the anxiety that you'll just drag others into your own problems is also fairly common.

@northropi2027
@northropi2027 3 года назад
@@Gothymothmoth eh, I'm not sure about the interpretations where the monsters don't literally exist in-universe. It's important to note that "the story is metaphorical and conveys a message to the player" and "the story happens in a universe separate of reality that significantly departs from it with things happening at face value" are not mutually exclusive statements, just so we're on the same page here. This is gonna be kinda long but I wanna cover my bases. Embry killing their parents is kinda hard for me to believe because there's not much of a hint that Embry could have done it. Other than the stairs, there's no weapon lying around and their account sounds like they saw something, but not their parents. The stairs seem plausible, but it's a bit of a stretch since frankly I don't think the stairs would be that reliable at killing people (seriously 3 for 3, two of them at the same time, other than D. Light's comment that it was a "long way down" how does that happen so consistently). There are also monster-implying events that don't make sense with non-monster explanations. The roars, the toybox, the blood, and the door opening on its own all are that things that can't be explained by the stairs. I'd be more convinced if certain other cues like the blood disappearing when Embry goes into the basement at the end were present, but since that doesn't happen any indication that D. Light died to a fall at the bottom of the stairs instead of being shredded near the top is missing. There's also the lack of any sign of the monsters not eating everything they can. The basement scene lacks, say, a pile of food at the bottom of the stairs or the not-eaten bodies of Embry's parents and Dr. D. Light, but it's also a dream so maybe it doesn't count. Then there's the fact that Embry didn't see their parents die/being dead- there being monsters implies Embry went to the basement, saw something that wasn't two bodies, and locked it up. This is supported by the implication that the monsters attacked Embry too, during the dream with their father where it shows a painting of Embry cowering from a monster. Plus that same dream implies Embry's dad has horns, so this being less of a 1:1 reality analogue makes sense. If the monsters were the parents- say, they got abusive and Embry pushed them down the stairs (how you'd kill two people that way is beyond me), that would explain why Embry sees the monsters but not their parents, because they *became* the monsters. However, this and the other explanation where the parents just left and Embry just assumes this means there's monsters in the basement don't explain all the stuff like the door opening, the entire subplot that implies the monsters have been getting out on their own, or the roars, plus I never noticed any implication that Embry's parents turned on them or vice-versa- that entire relationship seemed totally amiable. The only hint otherwise is that the dad used the phrase "eating us out of house and home" at some point, implying maybe that they couldn't support Embry? But that's never elaborated on enough to make very much of it. Heck, there's also the possibility that the parents have kind of just been chilling down there with broken legs for four months, making loud noises when food come their way, and D. Light died by means of stairs, but if that's the case, that means they've been able to get out, but never went to the police about it- which you could also say about Embry but at least they're a traumatized child. Lastly, for being honest, "small child commits triple homicide" is... sort of a bad twist. Like that doesn't really effect what the author meant but on top of the reasons it seems unlikely to me that it was set up this way it's very much a handwavey "IT WAS ALL A DREEEEEAM" twist that you could say about literally anything with minimal evidence and still be hard to actually debunk. That being said, while I feel the "the face-value story isn't canonically what's happening" explanation is kind of a reach for most of the game's events, it partially makes up for this by covering the Embry-Embry convo of the first ending in a way that makes about as much sense as a literal maneater trying to convince the protag it's the same person- but the flipside of this is the D. Light nightmare kind of working in the opposite way, implying that the problem *does* exist outside of Embry (which also makes me question if there's supposed to be a singular canon we're *supposed* to interpret- which is fair but frustrating). The fact that Embry never eats a crumb on-screen but feeds the monsters also hints that Embry might be the monster, and if we're supposed to think about that then that seems to be the obvious interpretation. It even makes the title make sense, contextualizing it as Embry trying to externalize something they're responsible for- but I'm also not fond of that line of evidence because it makes the metaphor somewhat victim blame-y. It's really hard to make any interpretation work without blowing off *something* as unintentional, or active misdirection from the author, honestly. My personal takeaways regarding the diagetic events, then, are as follows: 1: monsters are literal. The basement speech is one of them not accusing Embry of being literally the culprit but equating them to it as an enabler. Like us, it recognizes they could leave and call for help, but they refuse to because that would mean giving up some semblance of normalcy and letting their life fall apart even more- kind of child logic to let it get that bad with *literal monsters* but facing your own issues is hard for anyone. 2: monsters are literal, and Embry is a literal maneating monster in denial. This explains the lack of a weapon and also works to what something someone else pointed out- Embry's last initial being O makes her name, by D. Light logic, Embry O. (also E.G.O. with the middle initial), implying they're literally becoming something. It also adds a layer to the monsters (being Embry) getting hungrier lately- they might be developing faster- and could tie into the superficial differences Embry's family has from the rest of the people shown. This keeps us from having to go too far out on a limb of layers and layers of hallucinations without also having to find literal interpretations for *everything* but has its own problems and still kind of ends in a no u. 3: monsters are fake, parents died in an accident or left without Embry's involvement (again, I don't think Embry could/would have killed them if not because of the reasoning interpretation 2 implies) and they're suppressing that memory and replacing it with monsters, D. Light was probably pushed, lots of stuff is hallucinations. I should have made it clear I think one or two make more sense to me personally, though.

I really liked this game. I interpret it as a metaphor for using avoidance as a coping mechanism, which is something I do, so this was weirdly relatable. I actually relate to Embry on certain levels, which is something I didn't expect. The part where D Light said that she didn't want help because then she wouldn't have an excuse anymore hit me really hard. I wasn't expecting to get called out at 4 AM by the pun man.

"It's not me, it's my basement" sounds like Embry trying to seperate themselves from the 'monster', which represents their trauma and them not wanting to deal with it, which leads to them 'feeding it' and unknowingly making it stronger.

I think she killed them. I think something happened and she brutally killed her own parents and threw their bodies in the basement. And then, traumatised by what she had done she repressed it, but it wouldn’t keep. And she started having suicidal thoughts. If you notice, she may feed the “monsters”, but she never actually eats. I think food helps her suppress her emotions. But it’s becoming harder and harder. She blames herself and then vehemently denies it. She needs more food. Food reminds her of normality. “It’ll be okay”, she thinks. “Nothing happened. I didn’t do anything.” She lies to everyone and tells them that her parents are sick. But then an actual doctor comes. And he get’s close. Really close to discovering her secret. But she has to deny it! If the doctor finds out, then she’ll be unable to deny it anymore to herself. She tries and tries to stop him, but she never actually upright stops him. That’s her subconscious acting up. No matter how much she may deny it, deep inside she knows the truth and wants help. But when the doctor comes close? She panics. Fight or flight kicks in, and she chooses fight. She trips him, and down the stairs he goes, dying in the process, her secret is safe. And for one split second, one tiny moment in time, she feels the exhilaration, the rush of killing someone, or taking someone’s life. The very same rush that she felt when she murdered her parents. Immediately afterwards she desperately tries to suppress it once again. But it’s too late. All the trauma she went through, it’s all back to the very front. Everything she had been suppressing for months, now comes right back up. She tries to resist, to suppress it. It’s too much. She can’t do it anymore. She cracks. She decides it’s done. No more. She goes down to the basement, where the rotting corpses lie, and kills herself.

The reason embry gets upset about the word monster is because she IS the monster. The ending where you go down and see blood splatters show on the walls out of nowhere is Embry making them as she walks through, but she still tries to picture herself as a little girl when she transforms. The ending with the doctor, he is talking about forgiving her for being a monster and that she needs to get help for it.

Maybe Embry's parents died from suicidal thoughts or something like that and didn't get help so Embry hid it from everyone and hid their own problems from the world as well. The game ending is them going to get help.

Light' is too. Makes ya wonder. Half of me wants to say that the monster actually did get out but instead of eating Embry it decided to knock her out cause it knew she'd end up making a mistake because of it, but at the same time my other half says at that point it should've just ate 'er regularly.

The conversation where the monsters mimic their voices takes on a different tone when you watch it a second time; "Embery": "This has gone on for long enough...Do you really hate yourself this much...I want out!" Anyone else notice the plant growing when she was cleaning the window despite everything being gray and dead when she went to the market? I think the locked up "basement" is actually the front door and Embery is afraid to leave the house after losing her parents (likely due to a car accident since she says she didn't see them die), the market was just imaginary, and most likely Dr. D was just a toy she was projecting onto.

Here's my take on the story; Embry lives a happy life with their parents until their parents somehow die. Three things happen to Embry; they're traumatized, they blame themselves, and they repress the memory. Embry starts "feeding the monsters". It represents them pushing down their trauma and refusing to work through it. Embry blaming themselves is why the monster looks like Embry. Embry keeps "Feeding the monsters" and getting food from the shopkeepers. They do this for four months until Dr. D Light arrives in town. The events from when Embry meets D Light to when he falls down the stairs occur. He doesn't die and just gets knocked out. The "blood" isn't actually blood and is either just in Embry's head or is the raspberry jam from the sandwich Embry threw down the stairs. The dreams Embry has are just nightmares because of trauma. The game ends with Embry confronting their trauma and going into the basement. (This next part is just my headcanon) D Light helps Embry work through their trauma like a therapist. I like to think that either D Light or one of the shopkeepers would adopt Embry.

Light comes to check it brings back those memories and she does it again without realizing it. The next morning she can’t forget what happened so she goes into the basement and sees the truth Evidence: we never see what the monster accuracy looks like The guilt of dr. Light is one nightmare while the other is her showing that subconsciously she sees herself as a monster and deserves to be punished Embry only had good memories of her parents which can show that she pushed all the bad memories away Some things can be seen during different events such as the creepy painting with eyes looking at her which could be a form of hallucination and the shadow in the bed room

Based on the title, I would agree with the no monster theory. I think the monster she portrays is herself. Some sort of accident might have occurred in the basement maybe her parents fell and passed. Maybe she blames herself for it and these monsters are a result of some sort of trauma. The monsters are merely a cover up so she doesn't feel guilty about it and her mind fabricated the monster but there is no monster. Referring to the comedically long basement represents a suppressed idea that she is the monster.

I am amazed at how much I wound up liking this game. The characters get some great development despite it not being long, to the point that I legitimately felt really sad about Dr. D dying. It's open to interpretation without being pretentious IMO, and that's a hard balance to strike. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this creator's work!

The stairs weren't actually that long, since that whole sequence was in a dream, and therefore not real. Basement stairs are usually wood, and he had all the food down there to cushion the fall, I think hes fine. That, of course, isn't factoring in the variable of the possible monster down there if one actually exists, but since its heavily implied to be symbolic I'd wager there's a good chance hes alive.

My take on this game is... She's traumatized of the parent's death, and blames it on herself (she may or may not be the murderer, i don't think it matters) The basement monster is kind of a scapegoat: an identity for her to shift the blame she puts on herself. Feeding the monster is feeding herself, and, because Embry is a kid, she is growing, therefore becoming hungrier. That's why she doesn't say she is hungry besides feeding ONLY the basement; SHE is the basement monster. You don't see her eating, yet, the baker says she likes sourbread. When she hears mom and dad talk, she's trying to remember them, and maybe why she feels like she killed them, but rejects that by remembering their real personality as parents (it's been 4 months without them, she's going mad) Embry has no hobbies because she's too depressed to have fun. And when Dr. D comes in, she knows he can't help her or her parents, as being a monster/murderer isn't an illness. Embrey doesn't want D. Light to see the monster that killed her parents, she's in no condition to open herself and vent the guilt she feels, so she tries to delay it by "losing" the key. When dr. D insists in going downstairs, she panics; she agreed to let him see her and her home, but not the monster that is hiding inside her. As such, Embry makes him trip, killing him. Now she is truly a monster. She has nightmares of killing Dr. D because deep down she knows she didn't kill mom and dad, and making D. Light trip made her realize that. But now, she has truly killed someone. So she confronts her monster. And locks herself on the basement, as the monster she is (and that's why the monster doesn't like being called a monster; she killed nobody until this moment) That is when the monster eats her. She is consumed by the monster that's her guilt. She admits being a killer and locks herself so she can't do it again.

I kinda wanna mention that the layout of the basement seems like the route of the body's intestines. And the long staircase down symbolizes the esophagus, slowly swallowing her. I just think it goes well with the whole "the house is alive" thing people are talking about, like the eye painting looking at Embry around the 37 minute area, with the white couch looks like teeth. In fact, it kind of goes well with the metaphorical phrase "going into the belly of the beast" and another theory I think is cool to dwell on: What if the basement itself is the monster? The basement is full of so much stuff that Dr D Light didn't fall that far, but was genuinely eaten by the basement, explaining the blood. The Embry inside of the basement could then be a representation of her guilt, and fear. She's feeding into her guilt and fear by letting this continue and the longer she does, the more it threatens to find a way out. That is why the door is open and she gives in to the monster by going in, she's been overcome by fear and guilt.

One thing that hit me on rewatching is how well written the shop-keeper characters are. Even though they each only get a few lines, you get a clear sense of their personalities. And the fact they're showing concern, and offering help, and presumably letting Embry have food for free, gives the impression of a close-knit, supportive community. It's a nice change from the conventional backdrop of horror games. And somehow makes what's happening feel even more tragic.

@imperialearthling4425
@imperialearthling4425 3 года назад
Ok here's my theory on the whole thing. I believe there is no monster and Embry did kill her parents and the doctor. However, I don't think she did it on purpose and the "monster" is actually an allegory for her struggle accepting what she's done, how others view her and how she is repressing the truth as well as the past. I believe Embry accidentally pushed her mother down the stairs, ending in her death. She would be shocked and horrified of this, but even more so if someone found out, and she was afraid that she would be in trouble. After all, she is a child. In a fit of panic, she could have also pushed her father down the stairs when he comes to check on them, acting more on impulse that really thinking so in a sense though it was her fault it also wasn't. Evidence of this is when Embry first talks to the "monster". The "monster" in actuality is her repression of reality, blaming something else rather than accepting what she has done. This guilt manifests in multiple ways to get to Embry as a way for her to "face the music" in a sense. However it's unhealthy if she ends up embracing it rather than accepting and making amends with it. She could fully lose her sanity like with others who do not take responsibility for their actions if she merely says "Yes I did it. This is who I am." rather than accepting that it happened, but it was a mistake and it doesn't have to define you. In short, it's her guilt and she's trying to pin the blame on something else so she isn't the bad guy. It first uses the voice of her late mother, a memory she's repressing of good times and the guilt that she no longer can experience them. But this is only the first. The second voice the "monster" uses is her fathers. This one is angry and demanding, something that Embry notes is unlike her actual father. This is her previous guilt during the impulsive moment she pushed him down the stairs because she feared he would be mad at her, which is why subconsciously she decided to stop it from ever happening, and now regrets that, and if she opened the door she could reconcile with that. The third one is the "monster" speaking to her as herself. It's a final chance for her to accept what she has done and realize that her continued denial of what she has done is hurting her and will only continue to hurt her until one day the truth will be forced to reveal itself. She herself deep down knows the charade can not last forever, but like with all the others she represses this notion, rather living the painful lie than accept the truth because she believes the lie is less painful. In the last part, the doctor who represents people from the outside trying to help is seen as happy and cheerful. This is a true representation that people really do worry about her and she is not seen as a monster, but someone who's in a very bad situation. Her interactions with the doctor are cold not because that's who she is but because she's putting up walls so people don't know the truth of her situation, which she fears will turn them on her. However, the reality is that even if people did know, they would support her because they see the reality that a little girl who at her core is a good person is struggling alone. In her interactions with him, she actually does start to heal a bit considering she hasn't had anyone who was persistent enough to break through her defenses. This brings me to the key. In reality, I believe the key never moved spots and Embry had it with her the whole time. However she does this unsubconsciously and to her the key really was missing, in reality it's her guilt wanting her to spend more time with the doctor so she can finally start letting people in and helping her so she can properly heal. But then they reach the basement and her guilt manifests to it's fullest and she immediatly reverts back to her "comfort zone" thinking the doctor will despise her and probably punish her in some way when he finds what she did. However, this is proven untrue through their interactions as he compliments Embry, her drawings, her house and all the work she does. I'd like to also talk about he other human characters. At the market, despite the stall venders having names Embry views them as faceless gray silhouettes as they are just a means for acquiring stuff she needs, not really giving any thought to them other than a simple obstacle. The doctor however is viewed as bright and colorful, an aura that she subconsciously is perceiving because he's the first person who is persistent yet caring. Perhaps someone that Embry deep down thinks will understand her plight and will not be mad at her for the truth. I also don't believe that is how he is really dressed, it's merely Embrys subconscious perceiving the doctor as such. This is evident when she says he looks like a clown and to be fair what doctor does look like that. Even the vendor though courteous would admit that, but he insinuates that Embry was being rude hinting that to the vendor Doctor D. Light was in reality dressed like a real doctor or just wearing standard clothes. But as soon as the caring doctor, the first person she's both literally and metaphorically let in who has proven himself to be a caring individual reaches the door and opens it, he crosses a line too fast and Embry panics, reverting back to her previous state of paranoia. Like with everything though, she denies this truth and unsubconsciously pushes the doctor like she did with her dad, once again blaming the monster for taking him. This leads to two things. One: her continual denial of the "monster" which leads to her dreaming about the doctor which the "monster" has now manifested as and Embry merely continues the lie that the "monster" exists. Two, she faces the "monster" and realizes that it is in fact herself that has been causing herself so much grief and comes to terms with it. However, this story does not seem to have a happy ending as I believe at the end, she walks into the basement and throws herself down the stairs just as she did with her parents, in the end doing what was feared would happen to her all along. In the end, that's why I believe this game is called "It's Not Me, It's My Basement". It's an allegory for guilt and denial, blaming something else because you believe you will become something your not. Worst of all, if you don't address the situation properly, you will become the thing you fear in the end.

Depression... No matter how much you try to feed it small, pointless things, it never goes away. It is only until you let someone in that you can even begin to feel better, but the moment Embry opened the door for someone who wanted to help, she got scared and shut him away, along side the depression. All Embry could do was lock it away, feed it, and then ignore it. We never once saw her eat, nor imply she ever went to the bathroom. She didn't think anyone could help. The two flashbacks, in my opinion, were metaphorical; she was the flower who grew easily, but once there was no one to keep an eye on her, she wilted. She was also the painting, she tried so hard to cover up what was wrong that the entire picture became ruined. The basement is Embry, the truth that she is trying to lock away, her trauma that she is trying to disassociate from. And in the very end, she realizes the truth and finally opens up the door to confront the truth about herself. If one wants to take the metaphor further, than you can say that the basement contains all the people trying to help her, including Dr. D. Light and her subconscious.
