[HEAVY SPOILERS] Isidora Morganach...
... , the Undercroft, the Triptych and her being "unable" to show up in her frame.

I haven't really delved too much into "Word of God" or what the developers have come out to say following the game's release, but the last three or so missions seem a little bit undercooked, almost as if there was more to the story that they could not develop upon. I'm not just talking about San Bakar's challenge looking extremely simple compared to Rookwood and Rockham's challenges, but I'm referring to Isidora's character and everything surrounding her.

I am pretty much aware that the idea of "frames" and "living paintings" is rather complex, and it's been already established that:
- A "character" in a frame can freely travel to and from their other frames, or even visit nearby frames.
- If a character's frame is destroyed while they are in that frame, they are pretty much "dead".

But... what about Isidora? What was the point of building the triptych with Sebastian if it ended up leading nowhere? The only reference we get to her being unable to show up is that "she can't" for some reason, and it's barely hinted that it's due to her original frame being destroyed in the Morganach manor. But... why? This whole supposedly "important" plot point of Isidora being pivotal to the story and all those breadcrumbs she's left are suddenly dropped during the San Bakar trial arc.

So... what happened? Have any of the devs come out to talk about this clearly unfinished piece of the game's plot? It's never explicitly clarified anywhere what happened to her frame, why this story was dropped all of a sudden.

Consider this a rant, but I genuinely liked this game, its characters and its plot, but this part stuck out like a sore thumb.
