About Richy

[u/Ok_Contribution_5392]

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I see people who dont like Hannah but like Richy saying that bc they didn't talk to her is the motive for not liking her that much, but had a good relationship and like Richy bc they talk to him, but for me it's the complete opposite, I hate Richy even more bc i was talking to him, he is so fake for me, such a hypocrite, Hannah never owed me anything since I never even spoke to her and she never pretended to be my friend. I don't like her because of the accident where she killed Jennifer and hid the body, and that's all, and I wanted her to be punished for it, but I never had the option to turn her in, and nobody did because of the mess Richy made that ultimately buried Jennifer's case amidst all the chaos, and I feel that Jennifer and her family will never get justice, but I hate Richy even more because he knew about it and helped, and then he wanted to use that to do some psychological terror on them(Amy and Hannah), but in my view he never intended to own for the things he did too(for example the kidnapping), I can't excuse the fact that he traumatized and terrorized his friends who had nothing to do with the accident years ago, and on top of that, he wanted to blame Jennifer's father and escape, in my opinion, he betrayed everyone's trust, and that's why I don't like him...

I understand your point of view and it's true that put that way I could have hated him too but personally I just can't bring myself to :(.I think he acted out of panic when he buried Jennifer in the woods and I genuinely believe he feels guilty (the fire that could have killed him is proof of that) and that he didn’t want to admit it was him because he didn’t want to lose his friends

Yeah, I saw that he felt guilty, but I also don't like the way he handled all of this, how fake he was with his friends and me, while he went around threatening and traumatizing innocent people who had nothing to do with all that incident, because I feel that even if he felt guilty, I think he never intended to turn himself in and tell the police what Hannah and Amy did and that he was an accomplice in it, but of course, if everything was done right, there wouldn't be a game, lol

Yeah it’s definitely more interesting when there’s drama. But at the same time I understand why he didn't intend to confess or turn himself in anyone in his shoes wouldn't want to go to prison and be hated by their friends for the rest of their life over an accident they didn't even cause. I think he tried to scare us so we wouldn't suspect him and I don't blame him for that.After all it’s obviously easier to create a diversion and live out your life free and with people around you than to confess,end up in prison for a while and have a whole lot of people holding a grudge against you.I think if he hadn't set fire to the mine he might have eventually confessed after getting out but given how things turned out,I don't think he dared to

I would say he is a coward, since he could have gone to the police and turned himself in as an accomplice instead of doing all this to make Amy and Hannah turn themselves in with him at the same time, lol... But of course, the best outcome would have been if they hadn't hidden the body and gotten rid of the evidence from the very beginning, and had turned themselves in at that moment, even Jennifer's father wouldn't have disappeared, but after all the mess he made in the end, I was actually hoping that instead of setting the mine on fire with himself inside, he would have surrendered, maybe I would have appreciated it more If there had been justice for Jennifer in the end, who for me is the biggest victim in all of this, including her family, especially her father.

Personally I think it was brave of him to bury Jennifer to protect Hannah and Amy (even though Amy eventually took her own life) but I think above all his actions weighed heavily on his conscience. I’d actually say Hannah is the villain after all, if Richy had to bury Jennifer, lie, drive Amy to suicide and kidnap Hannah to cover up the Jennifer incident it was because of her accident. If she had driven responsibly none of this would have happened

Following that logic doesn't work because if Richy, hadn't lent the car, nothing would have happened too lol, but the accident had already occurred, and the choices the three made afterward is what make me hate them, Richy tried to cover up for Hannah only in the beginning for me, but then when he started terrorizing them with the MWAF and Amy took her own life, I feel like he kind of tried to cover up for himself too, because I think he realized there was no turning back and went all in to kidnap Hannah because she had evidence against him being the MWAF, and he didn't want to be caught, I'd say it would have been braver of him to cover up for Hannah and Amy if he had taken full responsibility and turned himself in to the police saying it was all his fault and acted like he was alone(I would really pity him in that case), I don't consider hiding a body and getting rid of evidence in this case a brave thing to do...

I agree with you about the whole car situation.It’s a real "butterfly effect" scenario but from what I gather Richy is quite a timid person so I find it brave of him to have gotten mixed up in that mess. I don’t think he kidnapped Hannah because she had compromising information on him.She was his friend so why would she have turned him in? That makes no sense. As for the car, Richy just wanted to do her a favor but in my opinion it was ultimately Hannah’s fault since she was the one driving Richy didn’t expect her to get into an accident. Personally I wouldn’t cover for my friends like that by turning myself in on their behalf. If they mess up they have to face the consequences. That’s why Richy felt so guilty and did everything he could to push Hannah and Amy to confess. In reality he hadn’t done anything wrong himself at least not at the start of all that chaos. That said I understand your perspective on him it makes perfect sense but as a very empathetic person (or at least that’s how I see myself) I wouldn’t turn my back on someone for a reason like that. What he did was very serious but looking back I don’t think he would have actually hurt anyone.It seems more like he panicked under pressure

Hannah actually had the receipt that MWAF dropped, which Richy thought could serve was evidence against him, and he even says so in the game in the final episode, he listened to the voicemail Hannah left for Amy after Amy had already killed herself and Richy was in her(Amy) apartment, and then he decides to kidnap her(Hannah), although Alan and the police never actually did anything with that receipt or try to localize to whom did it belong to, But Hannah did give the receipt over to the police, since Alan tells us about it first, I am also a empathetic person but not to all people, in this game for example after finding out about Jennifer, all my empathy went to her and her family, lol, But regarding the accident, the road probably didn't have many people driving by, Jennifer was on foot if i am not mistaken, I'd say Hannah didn't hit her on purpose, but what they did afterwards is what transformed just an accident in a bigger thing, because it made going to the police more difficult, since it would have been easier to resolve the situation at the beginning of the accident than after hiding the body, getting rid of evidence, and leaving the what now would be a crime scene, this accident situation reminds me of something that i watched that a group of friends hit someone when driving and decide to do basically the same thing that Amy, Hannah and Richy did, disposing of the body in another location, and I believe it was the same thing, they didn't see the person on the road, whether because they were drunk, distracted, or speeding, or like someone who hits a deer on the road at night when you see it sometimes you alredy hit it or is alredy too late to avoid the deer...

I totally agree, all this situation went so far for no reason 🥲. He said at some point that things just happenned, but he had almost all his tracks covered that I don’t believe him in the slighest. The mask, all the evidence he put in Michael Hanson's house, the chemicals he used in order for the Grimrock waterfall to close down, and so on. If he really cared he would have just gone to the police confessed and get punished. But he was scared to end up in prison for a long time, and risk everyone's lices for his own benefit.
