While making my way to the evac point, I was convinced there was some kind of swerve coming - something that would throw a new light on things, turn the story around - but that moment never came.ĭon't get me wrong. It's an ending that leaves more questions than it answers, and it feels shallow and disappointing. The entire final act of the game felt pretty rushed, to be honest. But when the "twist" turned out to be that Ned caused his son's death, it just felt like a cheap cop-out. They had the set-up for a fantastic mystery story there, and it had me intrigued all the way through. We get a short, awkward goodbye between the two and that's it. Someone's implying that they could blackmail us, having recorded our conversations, making it seem like we lied to the police and caused the fires ourselves.Īnd in the end, it was a crazy father who accidentally killed his son and then decides to just disppear, the teenage girls turn up out of nowhere completely fine, and Henry and Delilah just get evacuated from the area. Shortly after we arrive there, the whole place gets set on fire. Find meticulous assessment and transcripts of our characters, in a place with tons of expensive equipment. We hear a strange signal by the lake, find that walkie-talkie from the research site, get knocked out. Their tent gets ripped apart and they leave behind lots of their stuff. We start the game off finding these teenage girls.
But it feels like the plot - what actually happens in the game, outside of the interactions between and backstories of Delilah and Henry - was all build-up and no payoff. I honestly kind of expected that would happen. So, I've just made it through, and while the journey was a beautiful one - Delilah is a fantastic character, so is Henry, the environments are beautiful, the story is intriguing and emotional - the ending kind of fell completely flat for me.
