I don't think it's the red herrings, I just think there's not enough pointing to the badger. I didn't really think it was the guy who was dragging away the wife (he looked to obviously evil), but he was my first guess. I went to the other woman and then the husband before picking the badger. The two scenes I didn't understand were the ones where it indicated looking at the wall and the one that said "proves the innocence of one character;" why is the husband exonerated and not the badger?
I understand your points! Of course, I can’t really comment on that directly — if the game doesn’t deliver our ideas clearly, that’s on us.
Hopefully, in future iterations, we’ll find a better balance between being too obvious and too unclear. Or maybe other players will share their thoughts on these particular scenes and how they interpreted them.
