I love thinking about Oscar's secret room and the differences between the concept art and the final game version of it. It's cool that he would have a whole control system set up, to adjust the lights/lock doors/activate contraptions/etc., but getting to see his embalming equipment/chemistry set and gadgets is also good, too. My favorite consistency is the screens, though. You get to see how Oscar has been watching Sam the entire time.

Sam posing for his mugshot after getting wrongfully convicted as a murderer:

He doesn't sympathize with the serial killer, you can hear him reacting to his environment (i.e. shivering, humming when he finds a puzzle, heart racing when he finds a dead body, etc), and there's a point in the game where he steps outside and is momentarily blinded by the brightness after being inside dim rooms for awhile. He accidentally knocks things over on shelves and gets startled by it. You have an understanding that he's afraid - he's trapped within a killer's game with his love's life threatened at any second - but he braves through it for her. He makes mistakes, like publishing his name on the article that starts the game's events. But he also doesn't take Oscar's shit.
