The reason the plot twist reveal feels off with this game is that it uses a main character you actually controled and ended up attributing certain choice decisitions based on the characterization we had about him, so his romance with the mother of one of the kid victims plays in our head differently than what played on the character's. It's a beat cheap regarding the emotional investment, but at the same time it's kind of an original focus regarding the gameplay to not know about who we control, even if there are snippets of his worries about parenthood (like when he cares for the baby at the house of the woman who tried to commit suicide).

But yeah, I would have prefered that instead of this focus on the shocking reveal that we were covering our trails as Scott, the game would have instead make this known from the beginning. It would have been a little difficult to make the mystery from the perspective of the other characters work when we already knew the killer, but from Scott's perspective it would have meant a game where at all times we will be anxious about the double meaning of everything we do, what we were really covering and what we wanted others to see. It would have been more substantial, like a videogame version of the movie Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion, from the perspective of someone who even if he does terrible things, does so to prove a point about morality even at his own risk.

Apart from that interesting but underwhelmingly executed idea, this game has issues that keep pilling up. I didn't play this dubbed in spanish (my native language) and I don't know how the acting is in there, but this game really shows the idea that videogames age much more quickly than any other form of media, the character acting in animations is stilted and akward which coupled with the strange voice acting in the original english version gives off a very narmy feel at most moments in the story.

Also there starts to appear some plot holes, like how at the end the character of Madison just becomes telekinetical and starts knowing who the murderer is and where he lives to gather evidence, when she never met him nor did she any investigation; and also knows the FBI agent's phone number to tell him where to go despite also never interacting with him. Some other things also end up being weird, like the main character dreaming with children drowning so that we think he's the killer but that's never explained about his character (and the game puts emphasis on his psychological sessions so you would think they would have explored his blackouts a bit more), and again, it's some gratuitous fodder to think about the mystery and the shocks than actually giving substance to the work.

Anyway, despite my low score, I would like to give my thanks to Kevin for recommending this game because the set pieces are kind of memorable and I like the way the game uses music, especially that piano leitmotif for the kid's father.
