We all love plot twists in the series (Except when it's something we find kind of messed up) I think that it's because we like twists, kind of like mysteries. And that's what I'm here for.
I actually like mysteries, I'm not good enough to solve a real one, but I like the idea of figuring out who the bad guy is due to clues. There are plenty of games with a great amount of mystery to them with the villain's identity reveal being kind of clever.
Take Persona 4 for example (For those who haven't played it, or seen Persona 4 The Animation, I've graciously put it in spoiler)
I'm suggesting that maybe one of these days, we should have a game where the villain's identity is a secret because he wears an armor or some clever disguise, he's among Link's or Zelda's friends and it's your job to figure out who it is.
Sound interesting?

So, as the group believes that former politician Narutame is the killer, Yu Narukami (Yes, I know he's nameless in the game, but because he's called that in the anime and in other versions, I'm calling him that) questions if he is due to his belief that he's saving the victims, meaning he didn't really know that the TV world was dangerous, and that Yu received threat letters telling him not to "save" anyone. Naoto suggests the real killer must be someone they know. Yu believes it may be his uncle's assistant, Tohru Adachi. At first Adachi seems clueless, but when the others start barraging him with questions, he shouts "Narutame did it! He threw them in there!" Suddenly, he inadvertently revealed he knew about the TV world. Naoto then points out that when they found Narutame's journal, pointing out it lists all of the disappearances and the sole murder that was done by another killer wasn't on the list, Adachi claims that it proves he's the real murderer. They question why he would think that, as only they knew the disappearances were kidnappings and attempted murders and yet he already knew there was a connection when the police saw them as separate crimes. From then on, he shows his true colors and admits to the murders.
