well the problem with waiting can then become the masses of people turned off by the massive tone shift of the game and as sometimes happens with such attempts not forming any connections or emotional investment in the characters in the first place making the entire story moot. damned if you do damned if you don't. honestly i think the best way would be a slight rework in the story to make it slightly less tone deaf and a little more in genre. that should allow enough time to make a proper non rushed synopsis. if that is not possible/enough a resolution (at least partial) kind of needs to happen before the peoples interest in the story dies and the game ends up confined to ignominy.
both drama tag and clarification in game would be welcome additions. people shouldn't be forced to save scum and trawl forums or look for guides to know that the death was unavoidable and forewarning to people (especially those with depression)
would probably prevent grief. (my opinion on tags is damage prevention before fetish search).
