Thoughts on The Evil Within

It's quite true because

Ending Spoiler!!!

The ending was sooooooo confusing. "So what? It was all a simulation!? Does anything matter?

Not to mention the disjointed areas you're forced to go through.

Spoiler below!

Yes the entire game was a simulation. Ruvik's brain was taken and used as the basis for creating the world that we see, and also the thing that various involved scientists are researching. That's why there were so many missing people throughout. They were all kidnapped by the scientists for their experiments.

Something that is slightly confusing though is how Ruvik showed up in the start to incapacitate Sebastian (Since they were still in the real world at the start), and what interest he shows in him (I do not see any ties between the two)

My theory is that the beginning of the game was already in Ruvik's mind to begin with, and that the entire cast of main characters had already been abducted prior to the game's beginning by the scientists for being involved in related investigations. This also explains the massacre in the hospital at the start of the game being one of Ruvik's illusions since in the real world the organization would not commit blatant mass murder as it does not benefit them.

This unfortunately does not explain how the bearded doctor (Forgot his name) got into the world since he is part of the organization to begin with. Another extension theory is that someone else in the organization was planning some sort of revolt against the doctor, and put him, and Leslie into the world to kill them discreetly, and make it seem like an accident.

I only played the game once, and wasn't paying attention to everything so I could definitely be wrong.
