The major themes of the game are love and the idea of what is good and what is evil (in regard to the Tagline on the poster to the right), according to the developers, who hoped to have players aim for a balance of the two rather than one extreme or another. The developers stated prior to the game's release that almost all situations would have later consequences on the plot and that they are determined to let players follow through on their actions - to the point that unless all four main characters die, the story will still continue with whoever is alive. The game focuses on choices and consequences, with actions taking place via a series of Quick Time Events a la Fahrenheit. The story also focuses on three other characters: Madison Paige, an insomniac who becomes involved with Ethan's desperate search Norman Jayden, an FBI profiler called in to consult on the Origami Killer case and Scott Shelby, a private eye conducting an independent investigation. If Ethan wishes to save his son from a similar fate, he must complete the trials set by the Origami Killer, who wishes to test just how far Ethan will go to save his child. He is jolted out of his stupor when his remaining son is suddenly kidnapped by the "Origami Killer", a notorious serial killer who uses rising rainwater to drown his young victims, then leaves origami figures on the bodies.
