The epilogue got me in tears. The father knew and is still proud of his son. Ohhhh my heart ;-;
The game is totally a true story. I summarized some small details to make the game easier to play (and more things happened that day), but the story reflects the event with great detail.
My cousin told us a lot of things. He belive what he saw and heard when he was "out". And he completely changed his behavior after that... You (anyone) can believe him or not. That´s the "hope" part, I think. ;)
