Who is the killer in Black Mirror 3?

[mkaouer]

[This post contains spoilers]

Hello Black Mirror (BM) fans,
I have just finished the third episode of BM. Before giving my opinion (I will put it in the review)
I wanted to ask a silly question
in BM1 Samuel was the killer
in BM2 Angelina killed instead of Darren (Adrian) and it works as she is his twin.
in BM3, we had plenty of corpses (Phil, Ralph, Greg etc.) as always but the identity of the killer was not reveiled! I felt like the game developers 'rushed' to end the game without finishing many open stories: what happened with Bubby after being thrown away by his brother Tom? what happened to Tom after punching Adrian? what happened to Murray?

Anyone has any clue/explanation? I don't want to be very disppointed of this game especially that I really like the BM trilogy a lot.

I don't know what happened to Bobby - which isn't to say it isn't discoverable. I do think you're mixing some people up, though:

Tom is dead at the end. If you visit the shack in the woods, you find his body in a condition that makes "butchered" look like Saturday morning cartoons. I'm PRETTY sure that Ralph killed him, and you hear him in the shrubs near Black Mirror Castle saying that he was just "playing with him a bit." Maybe Ralph killed Phil as well, as vengeance for the torture, or maybe it was Tom making sure his accomplice couldn't turn him in.

Greg's death might have been just an accident - the castle is old and weakened. It isn't beyond imagining that the cement or whatever holding the skull up just gave in at an innoportune time.

As far as we know, Murray is still running his hotel, though now that there aren't any more serial killings (maybe? maybe there are shades running around) business might get VERY stagnant.

Well I missed Tom's death as it seems like it is not part of the main plot (unlike Greg's death and Phil's death).
Phil also can be found dead in his shack (if you go and check it out sometime near the game end) and also his death is a mystery.
So maybe there is no single killer and some deaths are by accident, but that goes in the margin of the black mirror pattern, which I don't like. It would have been more interesting to find out that there is someone still trying the resurrection after the death of Angelina. Thank you for the clarification though

As for the others I'd say it could be either Tom, Ralph or maybe Adrian/Mordred.

However it got so text-heavy the longer it dragged on I didn't follow everything closely.
And my impression of the whole series was that there wasn't much ambition to tell a coherent story that works everything out leaving many things unfinished out of laziness.

edited cause I missed the replies.

I'd rather say that they didn't plan to have a second a third episode upon the the success of the first one. The second and third episode were kind of written together to be one episode but for some reason they divide it into two seperate pieces. This might explain why there is no emphisas on the killer in the third episode.

Yeah, wouldn't be the first time creators write themselves into a dead-end :)

mkaouer, you mentioned to write a review, have you?

Yeah I wanted to get an idea about this first beofre writing my review, I'll let you know once it is posted.

Phil was killed by Tom in the morgue (not the shack and it's not a mystery), presumably Tom trying to cover his tracks after Darren escaped.

Tom was killed by Ralph, presumably either Tom tracked down Ralph to kill him but it backfired or Tom came across the hut whilst trying to evade the police and Ralph killed him. Tom and Phil of course were Ralph's torturers.

The only unexplained death was the builder's, which could have just been bad luck.

As for no emphasis on a killer in the third one, that's because there wasn't one. It wasn't a murder mystery it was about how to exorcise Mordred.
