First thing:

1) I'm gonna need a little help with the story here, because there was a time when I was playing it consistently, but had to stop for a couple weeks, and I just got back into it now and finished it, but have a little confusion.

Namely, why/how is Shelby the killer? Was his pursuit of that guy and his rich father all for show? Did he really risk his life to pin the blame on someone else (being thrown into the ocean in his car with Lauren)? And, if he is the Origami Killer, did he really care to even save Lauren? This whole this has me puzzled based on his actions throughout the entire game.

Was he killing out of sadness and confusion due to his childhood trauma with his brother? Did he get joy out of it?

2) I loved this game but geeez, I had a horrible ending. Everyone died but Shelby. Where it all went wrong was when Madison found out Shelby was the killer. She broke out of that room, but when I had to maneuver her through the fire, I pressed one wrong button and the game punished me for it--she burnt to death on the bed!

3) Decisions--here's something that I felt I screwed up in hindsight, but while playing the game, I made decisions based on certain reasons. For example, in one of the trials, you have to kill a man. I opted not to kill him because I was hoping that, at some point later down the line in the story, this man would reemerge as an important component to the story. I figured he might help me later on in determining whre Shaun was and would help me because I spared his life earlier. Guess not.

4) Essentially, my ending was this:

-Due to me completing only 3 out of the 5 trials (couldn't get through the nuclear plant one and I opted not to kill that guy) I didn't have enough letters to make out the address. I had six options and I just took a wild guess (is there another option here besides guessing?) I was wrong, as it ended up being a restaurant.

-Madison burnt to death on the bed and mostly certainly was eviscerated when Shelby's apartment exploded.

-Then, I see a scene with Shaun essentially dying in the sewer/well.

-Ethan puts a gun to his temple and takes his own life.

-Jayden has a conversation with himself, before overdosing and dying on the floor.

-Scott Shelby roams the streets among the people, undiscovered as the killer and unpunished for his crimes.

Loved the game but was a disappointing ending.
