** [[spoiler: You can take them at their word and believe that the two are identical twins that were SeparatedAtBirth. However, for their story to make sense, they would have needed to conceal Eve's existence ''for a decade,'' while she was living in the attic of Hannah's house, all the while Eve and Hannah were pulling TwinSwitch shenanigans on their parents and on the community as a whole. Still, this is the most plausible theory as it does explain certain physical inconsistencies like Hannah's bruise disappearing over the course of a single day, or Eve's tattoo seemingly disappearing between interviews.]]

Additionally, this is the explanation that the police seem to go for themselves, and part of their inquiry in the fifth interview seems to be establishing that Hannah ''was'' in two distinct places at once--getting a speeding ticket near her home in Portsmouth, and also vacationing with Simon in Oxford. For those not from Britain, Portsmouth and Oxford are forty miles apart.]]

** For those going for OneHundredPercentCompletion, after "finishing" the game, you are taught the command "ADMIN_RANDOM"[Hannah's wedding gift[[note]]it only works after completing the game[[/note]] to help you further in finding more videos. It's not even as random as it claims to be, it has a chance, based on how many videos you've seen, to spit out an unseen one. This is particularly helpful for the lie-detector test videos.

** [[spoiler: The last explanation is the simplest: Hannah is making up everything in a convoluted, Machiavellian attempt to evade jail by pinning the blame on a non-existent person. While this explains away almost every inconsistency, it also discredits everything you learned during the interviews, rendering the game itself moot]].
