I had actually been meaning to play this one for a while, and overall I think it was definitely worth playing. It is a really interesting game, and searching through a database for key words is more fun than this game had any right to be. The story was interesting, but I feel like either major interpretation leaves the game open for holes. Still, definitely had fun while playing it and I'd recommend it to anyone on the fence.
I don't really buy into the whole "split personality thing" that seems to be a popular fan theory. It doesn't really make sense with a lot of the information they provide, specifically the fact that one sister has an alibi which is why the cops bring up the sister thing in the first place. Plus the bruise on only one of them and other little things like that make a split personality hard to believe. It was actually a theory I was going with when I was maybe about 30-40% through the files, but when I finished everything I just didn't find it very well supported.
Of course that raises the issue of "how the hell is it possible their parents never checked their attic for like ten years" which I don't disagree with but I think it is more a case of just outlandish writing there.
Speaking of the tea/coffee thing, there was something interesting I caught but I don't know what to make of it. Eve always asks for black coffee. Hannah asks for tea with sugar. At the very end, "Eve" asks for coffee with milk and sugar. I have no clue what that means but I feel like it was intentional. Like Cody said one of the clues they are two people is their tea/coffee preference, so it would be weird for this to be some meaningless aside.
I was also toying with the idea that Eve is the great big murderer and that it is Hannah pretending to be Eve at the end so the real Eve could get away. There is some line where Eve says "we agreed to do anything to protect the baby" and there are hints that Eve possibly killed in the past (both her stepmother "accidentally" falling down the stairs and Hannah's parents dying from a death cap mushroom that she is insistent her father should've noticed). So maybe Eve could've killed the dude, it was Hannah that had an alibi, and they "switched" to protect Eve and the baby? But again, I feel like that doesn't quite fit either since it sort of goes against the reason Eve had an alibi in the first place. So I dunno. Fun story to follow, but I feel like there are some holes here no matter how you interpret it.
