Basically, he mocked death, and that explains his action of mocking the Grim Reaper. He didn’t feel too buzzed, but in the back of his mind he knew he was taking a risk. The night before the dream, he went to a bar, had a few drinks and drove home. Taking out the trash is connected with throwing something away-in this case, the dreamer’s life. A store is connected with making choices. The clues that reveal the meaning of this dream are in plain sight. Grim Reaper is one of more than 750 entries in my dream dictionary. Grimmy laughs sardonically and says, “Go grab some beer so I can cook with it!” The dreamer starts making smart-ass remarks, and Grimmy says, “Why do you mock me?” The question makes the dreamer uncomfortable so he tries to go back into the store, but Grimmy grabs his arm and asks more forcefully, “Why do you mock me?” The dreamer doesn’t have an answer. Grimmy loses the hood and scythe and now appears as a normal man. On his way back he sees the Grim Reaper and, unafraid, strikes up a conversation. But also consider the implications if you aren’t afraid of Grimmy.įor example, a man dreams he’s in a store and takes out the trash. If the sight of the Grim Reaper strikes fear into you, the symbolism is more likely to be related to a fear related to death, mortality, or making a big mistake. Both first impressions are dark, but the anime casts Zack in a more favorable light.A Grim Reaper character can appear in dreams to give a stern warning or symbolize something related to death, such as fear of it or flirting with it.Īs with all dream symbolism, the meaning depends on the context and how you react. In this scene of the anime, Zack is violent but it feels justified given Danny's intentions to maim Rachel. When Zack saves Rachel from Doctor Danny in a deus ex machina moment, he seems more romantic than in the game. And compared to Rachel's unemotional demeanor, Zack is a villain that outshines the protagonist with his magnetic personality. The anime cinematically frames Zack upon first meeting Rachel. He's strangely handsome. RELATED: Horror VR Games To Play If You Like Until Dawn: Rush Of Bloodīut in the anime, there's no viewer interactivity. This paints Zack as a clear antagonist and an annoying obstacle Rachel must overcome. For some players, this might take many tries and can become frustrating. In the game, if the player is unsuccessful in escaping Zack upon this first meeting, Rachel will die and the player will have to try again. He proceeds to torment Rachel and chase her with his scythe. In both the game and the anime, he busts in with his scythe, killing Rachel's bird. Zack makes a shocking entrance in Angels of Death.

The only use of English in the Japanese-language anime is in the wall writings seen throughout the show, which Rachel reads out loud in Japanese for Zack. The anime is more ethereal and surreal than the game, focusing more on flashbacks and dream sequences than the game. In fact, the whereabouts of our characters in the Japanese-language version of the anime remains so vague that it feels like our characters might be in another world entirely. RELATED: Story-Driven Games That Are AmazingĪs for the anime, there are no references to America or American culture. Furthermore, at the very end of the game, Zack, the iconic slasher villain we never knew we needed, mentions that the building blew up 'like the Fourth of July,' an American holiday reference. However, this coupled with the frequent use of English slang and figures of speech makes it clear that, in the English-language version at least, our characters are in an English-speaking country. In the game, when our protagonist Rachel finds the pile of resumes, it's mentioned they are located in a state. While it's hard to know the exact setting of the game or the corresponding anime, there are hints dropped in the English-language version of the game that aren't present in the anime series.
