"Ooh, cat's cradle as a back-and-forth string-pulling game, not unlike 428SS is a back-and-forth string-pulling game..."

ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh.

I think it was a pretty cool mislead that you assumed Tateno was hunting Hitomi for the greater good. Until you learn Maria's the one with the virus, it made sense to assume maybe Hitomi had it or needed to be killed to save anyone. And of course, the game sets you up, because you follow Kano's PoV, and Kano sees Tateno as a hero. And with Stanley's insistence otherwise, it really feels like we're meant to understand "Tateno must be a good guy, but why is he doing it"

But he just isn't. He's not a good guy. And honestly, I don't even see him as a bad guy. He's just a broken guy.

His actions led to the woman he loved being murdered right in front of him. And to his best friend losing his wife.

I can certainly understand why he'd do this.

It's really tragic.

And I'm still surprised how much the game makes me care, even with its cheesy live action shots.
