On one hand putting them through the perspective of an unhinged perpetrator is definitely a more unique and interesting experience.
On the other hand its really going to hit some people way to hard (seeing the reviews) that will feel compelled to morally judge the game not on its quality but its perceived morality, while at the same time making people reluctant to defend it, due to its uncanny content.
This is why most games and fiction is more sanitized, streamlined and easy to digest. I mean can you imagine having this game in your steam library?
Usually games with content like this hide it behind the "wrong" choices so people who really don't vibe with it can still enjoy the ride, and people who do like it can "hide" behind the choices.
Being the way it is, is an interesting choice and could display the passion of the writer about this kind of content (willing to sacrifice revenue for their artistic vision), on the other hand, the dlc galleries and abrupt ending (just saying game over) suggest the opposite.
On another, more personal note, when I play a game with edgy tags, and the content is too edgy for my liking, I do not feel entitled to leave an one star review morally judging the fictional work. I just say that its not for me, close the game and move on.
