Alas, Acharky in his haste, has killed one of our five journalists. Only four of our charges remain, thanks to his callousness.
May they avoid suffering the same fate.
One of my favorite parts of any of these games is when the lightbulb clicks and we figure out how the victims are intended to die, and thus how we can prevent their untimely demise. Charlie, the chain smoker who spent much of the opening trying to find his cigarettes, died in a blazing inferno started by his own lighter. And Erin, the asthmatic, was supposed to die of suffocation inside a vacuum-sealed chamber. Both of them are poetically appropriate deaths for said characters given their underlying conditions.
Fortunately, we were able to save Erin and discover this in the process of doing so. It makes me wonder what trials await for Kate, Jamie, and Mark when we next pick up, and hopefully conclude, The Devil in Me.
