The author complained about the slasher story presented in the trailer. Problem that segment isn't part of the main game. It's supposed to be some kind of side event. This isn't going to be Halloween 2. Idiot.

 

Having played Indigo Prohpecy, I can tell you that this is a scene in the game. All parts of the game will be related to the main story, and the game will play out in scenes, like a movie. This looks to be an inciting incident early in the game.

In IP, you often played as more than one character, whose paths would eventually intersect. I very much believe that this game will be similar in most aspects to IP, in which case you'll see these quicktime events all the way through, and that the story will be a varied suspense-drama, not a horror.

You know, like Silence of the Lambs, which has horror elements, but has a deeper mainstory, along with many other things going on as well.

Except, this game's story won't be as good as SotL, the greatest suspense film of all time. If it is, then this game would have taken the Videogame medium from a point of taking baby steps into the area of story development, to being better than basically every suspense movie ever created, which is impossible.
