The right ending? [SPOILERS]

[Fluff Puff]

Okay, after a moment when i turned off the engine i was pretty sure that i complited the game by the right way. But...my achievment's list told me: "Nope you don't~"
So, am i really should to kill Nicole to complite the game like it descripted in "All together" achievment? It is the only "right" way? Devs think there is not enough deaths due to one person's mistake?

PS: excuse me for my English

Yes, you have to kill Nicole to get the achievement, because only then everyone will be reunited in the afterlife or something like that...

Oh..i must admit than i can't :'(

I also refused to take that choice at the end. Made zero sense to me.
If that means i miss out on an achievement, who cares.
I play games for the story/gameplay, not for achievements.

I saved Nicole and the game ended with the credits running. I opened the game again in order to play and get the Other ending, but Day 9 or continue didn't come up, so I would have to play the game all over again to get the final achievement.

The problem is the only ONE ending is achieved as ending. Description of "All together" told us that this is a way to complete the game. Its mean than if we saved Nicole we failed because no achivment for it.
PS: i don't care about achievements, but isn't this situation is weird?

Good story!

[Cyber Cypher]

I also didn't choose the "wrong" path not that big of a deal that i didn't receive an achievement but one probably should be included if there is one for completing the game on the "right" path. Who is to say which way you play the game is right or wrong its more about the journey, right? However I do hope MORE CONTENT IS ADDED to this game, I really could have used more intense scarier scares to break and build tension.

All unmarked spoilers, because this is a spoilers thread:

Well, the dev seems to believe that realizing that your mother killed the 16 girl her husband was banging means that you will go insane and commit suicide. 10 years after the fact, despite both your parents being dead by then.

You could come clean; inform the police about the unsolved murder (not a suicide) and clear the names of all involved. No. Just kill yourself.
That was dumb man. Even after 9 days relying on a guy who turns to be a psycho-suicidal stalker, and his own suicide, this "suddenly I break completely and kill myself" is a stretch.

The protagonist was not responsible at all; how would she jump to the conclussion that her mother was a murderer? And what should have she done, even if she knew... send her mother to life in prison or even death penalty? Damn, murder is the gift that keeps on giving.

Also, apparently the fine folks of the local police reached the conclussion that Rachel commited suicide, or at least that was the official version. A coroner must have ruled that she died from SELF-INFLICTED HOCKEY STICK BLOWS. Let that sink in for a moment.

I must admit that you are right in all. Suicide and hockey stick do not mix well...especially with the medical conclusion^^'

But Claire threw Rachel off a cliff afterwards. I guess it's difficult if not impossible to discern wounds coming from the fall from the hockey stick wound(s).

The wounds would be post-mortem, therefore they would hardly bleed at all and there would be no swelling. There would be two sets of wounds, one of them which bled profusely - and internally - after cracking bones, and another set of wounds that didn't, despite causing severe fractures (as falling from a cliff would).
I mean, it would look the same TO ME, to a coroner foul play would be obvious.

Again spoilers:

I mean, it's a game. However it's just kinda... dumb that the weapon of choice would be a hockey stick instead of say, being strangled with a rope, something you could (somewhat poorly) try to obscure as a suicide. Probably smashing her head with a rock would be logical if you later try to pass it as a suicide-by-defenestration. A hockey stick is unwieldy as ♥♥♥♥ and unlikely to cause a quick death. Now, using the stick of your own daughter becomes really, really stupid. Leaving the dental apparatus of your victim in your car inside a blanket soaked with your victim's blood is even more stupid.
Leaving that car in a hotel you want to SELL, expecting that nobody is going to open the trunk of the car they found in their new property... despite having 10 years to get rid of all of it...
Come on.

Any chance that you are played in Disco Ellisium or same type of games before, sir? :)

Well, this explains the increased demands to storyline's quality. That part that affects the killing, at least. But maybe this case is gone to the hands of Hobo-cops with 1 point of intellect and they don't have 57th the best? xD
