Headscratchers / Sara is Missing

Go To

  • Why didn't the player or IRIS think about getting the police involved after James and Faith were killed? Irizu had sent pictures of them getting decapitated as well as the coordinates to the cult's location. That would be enough to convict the cult for kidnapping and murder.
    • If you didn't think of that, you have no one to blame but yourself. You can use the phone to call whatever emergency number you want. But you don't get an answer, unfortunately. The location of a thing isn't enough to "convict" anyone of anything; the police might find evidence at a reported location, but unless anyone involved was dumb enough to just stand around in that location, it doesn't guarantee they'd find anyone alive.
  • Did Irizu not take into consideration that the player would turn them in? He/She sent pictures of the cult's crimes, even if they don't consider them to be, and they gave away their location. That is, unless Irizu had a backup plan in mind.
    • Uh. Yes. Yes, they did; the entire point of the game is that no one knows who this character is. Irizu wears a mask in the only photo that might be a picture of them, and the pictures of the crimes don't show a clear image of Irizu in them, so even if the player sends the data to the cops, that's only going to tell them when and where a crime was committed. The only witnesses are either dead, loyal to them, or don't know anything.
  • At the end of the game, after you've located the cult group that captures Sara, Iris decides you're no longer useful to her and stops talking to you. Why? Unless IRIS can go Eagle Eye on this cult than what exactly can it do to help Sara as a computer program?
    • From IRIS's perspective, the job is already done. Its mission was to find and save Sara. Sara was found, as IRIS had her location, and was saved, if the player chose to sacrifice Faith in her place or didn't choose at all. Based on all of that, IRIS has fulfilled its purpose as a Knight Templar to Sara - that is, of course, not taking into account the theory that there is a connection between IRIS and Irizu.
