Sal's prosthetic face is central to his identity, trauma and empathy. This guide explains what the game reveals without using graphic imagery as clickbait.

Major story spoilers begin below. Play through Chapter Five first if you want the reveal in its intended order.

What Does Sally Face Look Like Without His Mask?

Sal has severe scarring and facial damage, including the loss of part of his lower face. The game presents the reveal through memory, shadow, and stylized viewpoints. The important detail is not a precise anatomy chart—it is how Sal lives with other people's curiosity while refusing to let the injury define his character.

Why Does Sally Face Wear a Mask?

The white face is a prosthetic device, not a costume. It protects damaged areas and gives Sal a stable everyday appearance after reconstructive treatment. Straps and hinged sections visible in official art make its practical construction clear.

When Is Sal's Face Revealed?
