I'm so glad you liked it and were able to finish the whole story, Mister.
1- The game isn't well-organized in terms of lore, and it's normal not to fully understand it. That man is Zoe's father. She was kidnapped when she was very young and sold to the village. Her father doesn't know where she is and ends up committing suicide. His spirit does find her and is the one who guides her in the first game, and he's the shadow you see sometimes in the second. Her father is with her until the end. He sees the person responsible for the child trafficking and leaves Zoe's body to make meat paste with him. Haha.
2- Yes, in the end, Zoe stays with Jess. We don't see her life during that time, but in Insanity Souls 1 and 2, Zoe appears briefly quite some time later.
3- And no, Zoe only killed her killers when they tried to kill her and blame her for the girls' deaths, but she did kill her adoptive parents, who were the ones who kidnapped her. Sell it to the village beforehand.
I hope I've clarified things a bit, and sorry for going on so long. Hugs. *__+
That bug is a bit strange, I've never been able to fix it since it doesn't happen to me, it only happens to certain people and I don't know why it is, I could tell you to try to be about a meter away from the fuse box and interact so that it does the animation by itself, if you can't go beyond that you can skip the act from the menu of that chapter,i try fix anyway but sorry for this
En mi opinión no solo hay suficientes velas sin conocer el escenario si no que hay demasiadas compañero, la mecánica de la ventana no tiene ningún sentido la verdad, tienes razon,solo es un experimento random de juego la segunda parte esta un poco mejor y la tercera es el juego que debió ser, en resumen,solo experimentaba pero comprendo tu frustración y agradezco que lo hayas probado
I think I know what happened, you put some and when dead or loading the game, the puzzle it resets, then you went back to put the missing ones but the door only detects the ones you put after loading, does that make sense? Sorry for all this friend, I'm already working on it, if that were the problem hahahaha
