For the umpteenth time, MB has confirmed that she died in the plane crash.
Sorry bro, but what exists so far is that she was declared dead. No body of hers was found.
That, as I have explained numerous times, not even in IRL is considered definitive proof, at most as "Probably Dead". In Dramatic terms, if there is no body, no one can be considered dead. What that does is create a "Chekhov's Gun" where she MUST be considered alive until definitely proven dead.
MoonBox is completely free to have as many Chekhov's Guns as he wants, he is also free to end the game without solving them, what he can't do is create a plot hole and then say it doesn't exist without fixing it.
I am aware that he can, and will probably will, pretend that Melissa died without making any effort to prove it, he has the power to do it, on that we are clear. He can say and do whatever the fuck he wants. What he can't do is, without fixing the text on the Part 1 text to say clearly that Melissa's body was found, pretend that he did.
I understand that he left that possibility open to maybe use it in the future, he has now given up on it, sure, it's fine. But, the plot hole was created and without being fixed, it is there. No matter what he says outside of the game. Anyone can change their mind, that's not a problem. All that's left is to fix the hole.
Peace
