  • I think the beauty of the killer reveal is that it changes the story we thought we were experiencing the whole time. We think it’s a detective story, maybe with themes of redemption and economic struggle and love, but it’s actually a story about the struggle of being human against the spectre of a devastating past.

    The killer has sacrificed this humanity for his cause, and he hates seeing lives unfold at a distance. He thinks he’s serving some great cause but it’s ultimately petty. And we see what happens when a person gives everything up for this one purpose only for that to fail.

    I didn’t pass my check to speak with the cryptid so I don’t know how that changes the perspective of the game at all. Maybe I’ll do a replay and go for it, but the existence of the cryptid just underlined that things aren’t what they seemed throughout the story.
