It's Psy-Crow my mortal Enemy! I swear my soily vengeance upon him and his fowl ilk!
The canon reason is because he was trying to get rid of all the evidence he sent to each victim's family.

The meta reason is because it's a game with a twist ending.

I dunno about the Dads. I guess it's implied they either failed and died at various stages or failed and ran away in shame.

David Cage explicitly hates videogames but somehow has a career in them

he's the cinematic equivalent of Tommy Wiseau but in VG terms that still makes him better than most

heavy rain is an absolutely miserable gameplay experience wrapped around a really loving terrible story. at least indigo prophecy was ridiculous in its stupidity, in a kinda funny b-movie sort of way, so you could laugh at it.

I thought the twist was pretty good. People are just mad because the game outsmarted them.

Uhh, except for the whole thing with Ethan waking up on the street the killer came from without any explanation because they cut out the subplot about a supernatural psychic link because it would have been real dumb, but then they forgot to patch up that partickler plot hole...

David Cage is a nightmarish version of auteur theory, his creative vision shines through but you really wish it wouldn't.

Things I learned from Heavy Rain:

It's okay for news anchors to call crime suspects "dangerous lunatics."

Psychiatrists can't tell anyone about anything their patients say, even if they think that their patient is a serial killer.

Schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder are the same thing.

The twist is bad because in order to make the twist they had to reveal that previous gameplay interactions and cutscenes were in fact lies with no clues that they were lies at all. All the while, the dad guy was totally set up as having a split personality who is killing these kids and having to try and outsmart himself which is actually neat and interesting. What I am saying is we all got Cage'd

Edit: Also all the kids are french.

My favorite David Cage story is how he got obsessed with Ellen Page, collected pictures of her childhood to adulthood, and then wrote a 2000 page fanfic about her.

If you fully explore the tunnels with the broken glass, you can find the dead body of one of the other fathers who couldn't make it through. There might be another body somewhere else I'm forgetting.

Or am I remembering incorrectly?

my favorite is how he modeled the main female character in indigo prophecy on his cousin and then had her in a topless sex scene.
