first of all, i fucking knew it! richy was super sus from the start, but then he got (fake) killed and i felt so bad for suspecting him i re-started the game, looking for anything i might have missed. it did not alleviate my suspicions... his build and the way he moves are pretty distinctive, so when tmwaf was finally revealed on-screen...i was pretty sure it was him, i just couldn't figure out the motive and what he was trying to achieve with the whole thing, how far he was willing to go etc. i considered multiple angles (richy was somehow related to jennifer? richy and amy were dating and he wanted revenge when he found he body after she unalived herself? secret third thing?) but none of it really made sense. the explanation given in the end kind of makes sense, but the timeline kind of threw me off a bit. if the initial accident happened 10 years ago, and i'd estimated them all to be in their mid to late twenties now, they'd have been just kids. hardly any of them would have been old enough to drive; so while i knew hannah and amy were involved in the accident, i hadnt expected them to be THAT involved. and im still not sure what richy was trying to achieve by kidnapping hannah? and why he wanted MC to come to duskwood? like im pretty sure he wouldn't have (seriously) hurt anyone but also...???

secondly, what the fuck is that ending? that can't be it. they said so themselves: "if its not okay, it's not the end". and i am very much not okay with this

after all that, richy just...commits suicide by fire? notoriously one of the most horrible ways to go... and what about jake? is he getting arrested or what (please no)?

my personal headcanon is that jake found richy on his way out and rescued him. cause im not willing to lose either of their dumb asses (affectionate)

finally, the big question: how did the group get MCs number? i think it's safe to assume that richy was the one who sent the message with our number, since he had hannahs phone. which raises the question...how? why? what was he trying to achieve with that..? was it supposed to be a distraction? one option would be that the numbers actually mean something different (the date of jennifers death maybe?), but thomas interpreted it as a phone number and that how MC got roped into everything. or it was hannah after all but that would imply MC does know her, which, to me, breaks the immersion. idk dude. maybe i missed something.
