What the story needed [SPOILER]

[xiao]

some decent points in the original post but explaining the water monster, especially mentioning it before it appears, would absolutely and completely ruin everything about the tension and fear during that part.

i really think the game would have benefited from some more scary-ass encounters with unknown horrifying things like this, after the water monster it was all pretty much doors flying open and grunts and brutes - very scary, but there was something about the unexpected, unexplained fear of the water monster encounter that was absolutely brilliant. more moments like this, if only one or two more, would be great.
