Biography
'**This section includes spoilers. Please do not read this before you have experienced the story yourself. Thank you.**'

Rosemary Hall was Jimmy's mother, and the owner of the Sea View Hotel. Sometime in the 60s-70s, she became the professional assistant of Hugo Hall, a stage magician and school teacher. According to Rose, their relationship developed, and Hugo proposed to her with a ring the player can find in the hotel. She accepted, and they married.

Rose and Hugo's relationship eventually became abusive; multiple apparitions depict Hugo shouting at her, and telling her she is worthless. She said there was only one thing she could give Hugo - a baby.

James Alexander Hall was born on June 6th, 1976. Hugo violently abused Jimmy from birth, and Rose regretted not stopping him until Jimmy was two years old; an apparition depicts Rose running with a baseball bat into a basement room where Hugo was beating Jimmy. She explains that she bludgeoned Hugo to death and buried him in the secret basement room, hidden behind a set of lockers.

Rose lived with the guilt of killing Hugo for years. It was only when Jimmy, feeling guilty about his own actions while under Hugo's control, had attempted suicide, that she decided to tell him the truth. Rose explained that it only worsened the guilt, and when Jimmy went to go find his father's grave, she took some turpentine and a lighter and burned herself to death in the second floor hallway. Rose tells the player if she hadn't killed herself, Hugo in Jimmy's body would have. She then tells the player to ask Jimmy where Hugo lives, and that he'll show you. This is her final communication.
