1.) The reason why the Origami killer is so hard to catch is because…
One of the four playable characters in the game is the serial killer everyone was trying to look for and you've unwittingly helped him cover his tracks. It's a brilliant plot twist that undoubtedly dropped many jaws and shook most players to the core.
The sad thing is my cousin told me who the killer was before I even played it. I still applaud the twist and admire how the game tricked you into undermining yourself through Shelby. However, I still wish that I felt that earth shattering feeling when other players found out.
Admittedly, knowing did change how I played the game. I purposely failed most of Shelby's prompts to increase the chances of getting a happy ending with the other characters. I remember others expressing their disbelief that they actually helped the killer cover his tracks without them knowing. I wish I experienced that.
I was also not able to experience the journey of liking and rooting for the character until the moment of truth comes. Sure, just by watching the video posted above makes Shelby a sympathetic character but I bet that's nothing compared to what you'll feel if you've played him from the start.
The bombshell revalation in this game is one of the many reasons why gamers recommend Heavy Rain to their friends. How do you tell them about it without ruining the experience? In my case, my cousin told it to me without thinking about the repercussions of spoiling me.
Hopefully, you guys don't have friends who endorse the game as "the game where you play the serial killer" to other players.
Now we take a look at Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic…
