We are very different. You write only about the obvious, ask admittedly good questions, such as about the HOTs secret code but you do not look for answers.
If I want to bring up some clue or want people to pay attention to something, then I write about things which most don't usually notice and which I, personally, consider important, leading to some clues or hints, plot twists or at least involving and interesting for being noticed and discussed. But I'm not looking for anything where there really is nothing, and everything else is an attempt to invent reasons to make someone think differently.
Here you describe how you experienced AL.
Instead of playing it and test yourself, like, will you be able to suspect an innocent character in all shit that happens at the end of the game, you're writing all this to me, after you got the character name and a lot of spoilers. Like I doesn't noticed something, because I don't analyze each clue, even the meaningless or useless ones as you do.
So, my bet is that you couldn't be able to figure out who is real and main evil in AL playing it for a first time by yourself and w/o spoilers here and there. Thanks god (or who else are you praise), I'm able to turn off my mind and literally forget anything in a case when I accidentally bump into spoilers. So I played AL like from scratch. The only thing I wasn't able to erase from my memory is a spoiler of somebody doomed to death. Well, it wasn't related to antagonist reveal, finally.
All the evidence was already there, you just noticed it too late. DPC did it that way with AL, consequently why shouldn't he do it that way with BaDIK?
Yeah, yeah. The only single fucking clue given to a player by DPC, was that someone is watching MC from outside the window. One fucking render. Peter was a red herring, he is antogonist too, but he wasn't even standing next to Leah, MC is even capable to kill him, while being sure that it was him, who caused all the shit. And players who came to such ending were shocked in double. First of all, Peter is dying anyway. Secondly, despite the fact that he was a complete scumbag, you realize that you were wrong and missed the real villain.
If the MC was with Maya in EP7 and not Josy, Josy was alone with Ashley, Lily, Elena and Riona at the HOTs house. Josy loves the pool and at the pool are Lily and Ashley. The MC can ask Ashley about the strawberry daiquiri recipe in EP7. According to this, maybe Josy got a taste for it through Ashley. In EP8, we learn from Elena so the girls talk about the MC because Josy's eyes glaze over when the MC is mentioned. That will have been in EP7 when the MC wasn't at the HOTs house. The problem now is just Ashley. If the MC was at Sage Branch in EP4, he can make out with Lily and Ashley in the sauna. Oops. In EP9 learn from the MC that girls, like guys, talk.
It starts with a word of strawberries in EP1 and works its way across BaDIK to EP9 to finally come to the realization so it's not good to make out on Sage Branch from EP4 with Ashley because Josy finds out first hand from Ashley. The bad thing is, even if the MC doesn't want anything from Josy, there is still Derek who likes/loves Ashley a lot. If you follow Strawberry's lead, you can see that and interpret certain decisions differently.
I see the stream of your thoughts and a mix of absolutely indifferent facts with zero concludes following from this at the end. This is the main difference in our thinking. I see the strawberries & Josy thing as DPCs attempt to give a player some affection with her, hint and accent on her preferences and personality. While you see here a bunch of conspirology and even can't conclude WHAT do you see and make some coincidence to let it look really important or at least interesting. You even don't try to, you're just finding new and new details or
absolutely innocent things
(why I bold it, because if you suppose every thing in BADIK is that important and DPC do all this with foreshadowing and to reveal something later, then I have a bad news for you, so you'd better put on foil cap asap 
)
Since DPC is motsly a good and decent writer, if he paid attention to something before, like Josy's affection to strawberry, then, as a good writer he will periodically remind about it and let player to notice that again and again. She likes strawberries? Yeap, so then it's why she smell with it, why she mentioned a seller side job, why she loves girly sweet drinks like daiquiri and finally uses lipstick with a same taste. It's a good writing token, when author don't abandon his previous ideas or a given characters features or left it behind. If it ends abruptly, like it never happened, then it's a bad writing. And holy fuck, most of this strawberry shit live mostly inside dialogue lines, it have about zero "screen time". We seen "live" strawberries at the HOTs kitchen during the party and when MC went for shopping with Derek to prepare his room for J&M private date.
You already didn't see it coming in Al. I don't wonder why because of that? You ask good questions, but don't seek out or overlook clues that could provide answers. In turn, you then complain about people who look for answers and provide possible answers, only to discredit them in the end. I know what to think of such people.
While you're building a whole conspiracy empire from strawberries and Josy, coffee, milk and Derek farts, etc, missing out on really interesting and important moments and clues.
And the biggest bummer here is that you just generate all this for the sake of generating. At least it feels so. I would be happy to be wrong, but I think I'm right. If one of your theories has worked or "fired" in the past, let me know, I won't be able to find all such your messages on my own. But I would be glad to read exactly such ones. And I'm talking about those crazy things that you promote as a something very important, and not about the more mundane and logical ones. Surprise me.
It's like you have a 0.01% chance to catch something more or less significant and valuable by digging into a such TOO little things, and I doubt that someone finally will value it. Well, good luck to you then. I can't help here.
