The only way the story even makes sense to me is if everything that happens in the apartment, including the marriage, is all inside his head. The wife not recognising the dad, the whole dad/cop thing in general, not remembering he killed the dad, etc. I saw the twist coming (feels like I just watched something that had a similar twist, and I read a book aged ago that had a similar one... The fuck) but I couldn't get over the whole name of the mother is the same just absolutely means he's the half brother. If I was the guy, I would've thought in my head that's a weird coincidence, but not jump to the conclusion because my mom and the monster's mom are the same, it HAS to be me. Not a common name, sure, but come on.
Very cool idea, red herrings were OK (though I still feel like showing the present to prove the time loop should have been "permissible" as proof to the wife). I didn't actually have a lot of problems figuring out what to do (as brutal as it was, I knew I had to hide in the closet before my wife saw me, and watch what happened, though it took forever to figure out how to attack the cop) but that adventure game logic...why wouldn't I use the phone to call 911 and give the cops a heads up some maniac was gonna barge in?
