The plot of the game so far:

[toloverufan]

Company makes some mistake, tries to cover it up with a "Quarantine", the mother sees this as a chance to get rich and not have to deal with her kids. Building burns, and they either know the kids survived, or suspect is so strongly they hire a hit man to finish the job.

I'm not 100% on whether she took out a life insurance policy the moment the quarantine started and her daughter said she was starving to death, or whether the parents were in on this with the company in the first place. Either way, it's clear mom was really hoping the kids were dead.

Anyone else got any other takes on this? I don't feel like I've missed much as far as the overarching story goes.

Where did the organ harvesting come in? I feel like either that was never explicitly mentioned, or I zoned out between the hours of banter they exchanged.

one of the apartments in chapter 1 has documents talking about an organ harvesting scheme

Well now I don't feel bad at all about what happened to them. I was already pretty ok with it just assuming they left their kids to starve, and then the hit man.

The hit man was the water company, not the parents. In the note about him being hired the employer mentions a sister company that makes soda.

Because of the news broadcast about the apartment burning down, we know the water company's sister company are the ones who make the soda that liquefies your internal organs.

[toloverufan]

Yeah, I don't see anything about a sister company in the note.

[phantom_Nines]

The note is on the passenger seat in the SUV, after you kill the hit-man in the park
It reads:

"Dear mister Washing Machine, consider this a payment for your cleaning services."

"We're extremely grateful that you've accepted to clean our laundry for us."

"And we're so confident in your services, that we will not be needing any progress reports."

"In fact, please do not contact us. If anyone were to ask, the less we know the better."

"As a bonus, we've included free samples of all the new soda flavors from our sister company. Happy washing!"

[toloverufan]

And once again, I'm blind. I should get these glasses checked. Still holding the parents responsible for all this.

Well a takes a blood sample, and every door has the blood types of people living in-side it on the door, and those who've got common blood types are killed using hunger theory. On top of that the warden comments on the cultists death, talking about his blood type making him worthless as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6nkEu63aeY

I don't understand how people miss all of this and even as far as to be sad what happened to the parents. Even if they never actively chose to murder or ok it towards their kids their lack of emotion when they return is proof enough they don't care at best.
