6 Saddest Bioshock Audio Diaries (in text form)
6. J. S. Steinman - Not What She Wanted; Dr J. S. Steinman MD is one of the bosses you’ll encounter in Bioshock on your journey to escape Rapture. As you head towards his lair, you can find audio diaries which give hints about how Steinman has descended into madness, talking about symmetry and becoming like Picasso by creating works of art with a knife instead of a brush. None, however, give a clearer example of how deeply disturbed and twister Dr Steinmann has become than the follow audio diary:
Location: Eternal Flame Crematorium entrance, near the Winston Hoffner memorial.
5. Mariska Lutz - Masha Come Home; When I first played Bioshock, I never really though about the lives the Little Sisters lived before they became what they are now, how they had parents and families. This audio log, and the one that comes after it, show a different side to Rapture, perhaps a more human side. To most parents, there is nothing worse than losing a child, and losing one in the hell that Rapture becomes just takes things two a whole new level:
Location: Upper Wharf, near the corpse by the Little Sister Vent.
4. J. S. Steinman - Surgery’s Picasso; As previously mentioned, J. S. Steinman is not what you would consider a mentally stable individual. He expresses interest in becoming like Pablo Picasso, whose early works were made out of clay. Steinman, instead of using clay, wanted to use ADAM with people as his base. This audio diary further proves my pot that Steinman was a pretty fucked up individual:
Location: Eternal Flame Crematorium entrance, near the Winston Hoffner memorial.
3. Andrew Ryan - First Encounter; When Andrew Ryan created Rapture, it was supposed to be a paradise of freedom and prosperity, a place where man would not be limited by the concepts of right and wrong. At first, that’s what Rapture was. There were unparalleled scientific advancements. Then things started to change. This audio diary is perhaps the first moment where Andrew Ryan realizes that his dream may be falling apart:
Location: Farmer's Market, near the Rosie corpse in the lower storage room.
2. Sander Cohen - The Wild Bunny; Like so many of the characters in Bioshock, Sander Cohen is kind of… insane. Except instead of being a doctor or scientist, he preferred the world of art with things like poetry, sculpting, playwriting, and more. One of the “and more” things is dead bodies and death as a whole. He has dozens of dead bodies forever locked in time via wax. He even has you track down and kill several other artists and take their picture. He’s one weird cat, or should I say, rabbit. One of his symbols, for lack of a better word, is a white mask with bunny ears. That adds a bit of context to this strange rant he went on:
Location: Sophia Salon, in the little room behind the counter, next to a plastered corpse.
1. Yi Suchong - Mind Control Test; The world of Rapture is a cruel and unforgiving place; with few people exemplify that as well as Dr Yi Suchong. Suchong was one of the medical researchers responsible for creating the Big Daddy’s and Little Sisters, but he also performed a lot of other experiments as well. This audio diary has Suchong speaking to a little boy, presumably Jack, who was given a puppy. The rest, well, I’ll just let you listen to it:
Location: Control Room, on the table beneath the photos. The player cannot backtrack to get this Audio Diary.
