I understand your concern, and as much as I like this game and appreciate Philly's hard work and professionalism, I can't pretend things have been perfectly fine in the last few updates, coz they obviously weren't. Whether we can blame that on Philly being burnt out, or suffering from writers block, or some IRL problems, fact is, there were a few things that didn't make sense and some were even plain ridiculous.
Still gonna hope for the best in this last chapter, but the story not living up to the hype is sadly a concern I share too.

Keeping my fingers crossed Philly proves us both wrong and delivers a masterpiece of an update followed by an ending that's worthy of a game of this caliber and popularity coz it'd be real disappointing if he didn't.
