to be honestI'm still not sure if the ending was hinting at us being the cause of the hiker disappearances, or if we just dealt justice to the escaped convict the sheriff mentioned at the start,but that's what I really liked about it. Gave some fodder for theories, and left with an ending that lets us draw our own interpretation, all in a short package
and thanks for taking the time to discuss the game with me, it was really nice to read your interpretation and share mine
