Finished Chapter 3, great stuff, Though Chapter 1 remains the best. But definitely an upgrade over Chapter 2.
The ending was really the good stuff, not the cringe unbelievable disaster, which we all know is hallucination, but the tape questioning Maebara. and the Memoriam list, it captured the mysterious charm lost since Chapter 1. Atleast it explained why Keiichi was not acting like Keiichi, he was really just Satoshi in Keiichi's body, not in a supernatural way, as in being possessed, but he was hallucinating the whole time, probably since the moment Rika and Satoko, visited him and made him food, it's like they put him under a spell to be captivated by Satoko. Otherwise it's impossible for him to be the same man from Chapter 1 who was collaborating with Oishi to get Mion and Rena imprisoned. The murder of the uncle was the strangest and the highlight of the chapter, it proved beyond doubt a supernatural element to the story, unfortunately. Why? because in contrast to Chapter 2, he didn't transfer to another dimension, because he was inside the ritual shrine, which didn't trigger the town to gang up on him like Chapter 1 and Chapter 3. Basically the two victims of the curse, are the killer and the victim, but the killer disappears to another world. Which explains why Takano-san would kill Tomtake, she was trying it herself. It's like the Watanagashi night, is a day for free killing. Which made me assume, maybe the people aren't really evil, but are trying to hide this secret, so they eliminate people like Keiichi who trigger it? I admit the game basically says all this itself, you don't even have to think about it, which might makes it sound like a red herring, but it's omitting which parts are hallucinations and which are the truth. Anyway he was hallucinating all the time except when he killed the uncle. What made me laugh the most is how in one of the tips, about the number of cases of children suffering abuse, one was "sexual abuse" and an eerie sound starts at this line, to make you scared her uncle was raping her lol, coupled with her reaction to Keiichi touching her, which is what rape victims do. it made me at the edge of my seat until the end, and I felt relieved it wasn't the case. the author is some great prankster. I didn't like it as much, because it just confused me, I didn't leave with theories at all, I just gave up thinking about the plot. I hope Chapter 4 finally dethrones Chapter 1 since it's Rika's chapter
