“ | DON'T LEAVE ME....DADDY!!! | „ |
~ The Child |
The Child is a boss in the video-game Catherine.
Appearance
The Child takes the form of an undead baby with a pacifer in its mouth.
Introduction
Vincent enters the door, unaware of what awaits him. Gibberish and a shriek of "Daddy" pierces his ears, alarming him and causing Vincent to dash up. This begins the final boss of the Inquisition.
Meaning
The baby itself represents Vincent's fear of having a child, which is raised when Katherine tells him the day before that she might be pregnant. The undead appearance is a design choice to make the The Child appear more menacing and creepy: to Vincent, this Child exists to destroy his freedom and life, chaining him to something he isn't ready for yet.
