The Suitors are blind because, as mentioned before, Justine blinded them herself. Also, similar to The Gatherers, staring at them will drain the player's sanity.
They can still hear perfectly, and will immediately pursue the player if they stand too close. The only difference is that the Suitors are completely blind, making them easier to avoid. The Suitors function exactly the same as The Gatherers in the original game, in that they wander around a specific area patrolling for the player. Justine sought out Basile and drugged him, then imprisoned and blinded him as she did with the other Suitors. Justine was in a relationship with all three of these men at once, causing immense tension between them.īasile stopped being infatuated with Justine at some point and lost interest in her. The Suitors in question are Aloïs Racine, Basile Giroux and Malo de Vigny.
Prior to the events of the DLC (taking place during and/or before the year of 1858), the Suitors became romantically involved with Justine Florbelle, but because of Justine's extremely sociopathic nature, she didn't love anyone, and only used the Suitors for personal gain and self-amusement.
