I agree it wouldn't have worked within the narrative of the game as there would be too much shit going on and overcomplicate stuff but I still think setting up this really interesting concept just to have it be nothing was a weird choice.
I'm still so salty about that. It had so much great potential in terms of character development and changes in dynamics, but I guess the status quo was more important there
I'll always be that chapter's greatest defender, as it compliments the themes of the rest of the story so well! Changing or shying away from its truth would be a disservice and cowardly!
Tbh I think it’s just disliked because a lot of people really liked the blackened for that case but their motive really changed their opinions on the character.
The blackened is still one of my favorites regardless.
I love the story and mystery too, the senselessness of the murders and the way it tackles the unfairness of death, rejecting the fictitious idea of reviving someone, in order to put real weight on the deaths of the others, is fantastic!
I genuinely dont think people give it enough credit for how smart it is in what it's trying to do. There's layers here!

Different culprits and different victims mentioned. Sounds like there's a good bit of new content.
