filling up everything correctly, I tried the date format as both xx-xx-xxxx and xxxxxxxx.

hello, I just finished playing Heavy Rain and it seems that i unlocked the worst possible ending one can reach.

in my ending, norman resigned, Madison died, Ethan was shot dead at the end after finding his son and Scott Shelby lived.

I have no idea if this game even has other possible endings, if yes, I would like to ask if the endings are really so different from each other that it makes it worthy enough to play again?

some post game thoughts - I would rate the work and aesthetic 8/10, very calming I would say. Scott Shelby being the killer does not make sense(maybe I'll know if I unlock other endings) but the twist is 6/10, surely it shocks the player but in a confusing/contradictory way.

developers had a chance to create one of the most psychologically complex games ever, the cliche of orchid and origami, the trauma ridden killer, psychological dynamics like self hate, NPD, projection and masochism were explored so deeply yet they fucked up with the reveal of the "origami killer". I feel like story focussed on revealing shelby's character more rather than the origami killer, so much so that despite being them the same person, both characters deviated from each other.

heavy rain could have been something like " 20th century boys" a manga by naoki Urasawa, the dynamics are so similar but oh well, different directions leads to different results ig.
