  29. I’m fully aware of the risk of overinterpretation. As I mentioned in the introduction, I don’t know whether the structure I’ve outlined was planned out in every minute detail by the authors β€” perhaps they only sketched the main elements, leaving the smaller details to fall into place by following a more intuitive sense of β€œhow things should feel,” rather than a rational, calculated plan. In fact, David Lynch often worked this way. His later films have extremely complex structures that can be rationally unpacked and β€œsolved” by analyzing tiny details, symbolic echoes, and analogies between characters… and once you do that work, everything fits and β€œmakes sense.” Of course, it can also strip away some of the mystery and magic. And I don’t believe Lynch was always consciously aware of what the deep structure of his films truly was. Some things were clearly deliberate, yes β€” but others, he just β€œfelt.” He followed what his subconscious told him to do. From the very beginning, I had the feeling that this game (Return) contained something more β€” something buried deep, waiting for those willing to dig. And now, whether that "something" was real or imagined, fully planned or mostly shaped by unconscious connections and intuitive symbolism… I’ve found it. Let’s say this: what I would have liked to see treated as the main narrative β€” a direct sequel to Monkey Island 2, confronting the themes of Guybrush’s childhood, his parents, Chukie, and so on β€” was instead relegated (consciously or not) to a hidden layer of narrative. One that can only be reconstructed actively, through thematic and symbolic connections between very secondary details. What I can say for certain is that Return encouraged me to look deeper, and it gave me enough ambiguous material to support that kind of exploratory analysis. And the experience of seeing a coherent design emerge from what first appeared to be chaos… that’s a kind of magic all its own.
