How inconsistent can a half an hour story possible be? The answer is very much.
PR: You're a ranger at some reservation, old enough in the job to not be considered "the new one", but not old enough that you know that murder and suicide happens a lot more often than it should.
More sensible people appear to doubt the suicide part, probably due the claims coming from a newspaper simply called "newspaper". Imagine browsing for newspapers at the kiosk and skipping the washington post, USA today or new york post only to pick "newspaper".
Anyways, short story shorter, as you would have it the suicides are also murders commited by some sort of forest keeping entity that wantongly murders rangers.
Why is the creature, whose supposedly trying to keep nature safe killing the nature safekeepers and sparing the multinational corporates that pollute the most? No one knows.
Why is it even cares, considering that its some sort of alien, planet/dimension hopping wanderer without any seeming relation to nature? No idea.
Why is the management from the park keeping this information rather than trying address the killing alien on the loose, butchering his way through their reservation? I'll risk saying that the person behind that decision is the same one that decided that rangers had to complete a captcha per singular report filed Which happens every couple of seconds.

At some point in the game, rather soon, I realized that the "storyline" events were dissociated from whether I successfully filed the reports, so I started shredding every report as this bypassed the annoying captcha thing, but unfortunately management found out and remotely melted the shredder, so back to the captchas I was.
This incident led me to believe that actually the whole monster thing was a rouse from management in order to trick me into doing my job, which at no point (of course) happened. Nice try, MANAGEMENT!
For some reason a so called doctor calls on the phone and starts yelling about his life sucking or something, I didn't really payed attention. Conversation went a bit like this: "the took fucking everything, fucking fuck, fuck me? No, fuck the files that i fucking sent you, you fuck. Search the fucking files, fuck, fuck, fuck."
I'm not sure what area of expertise this gentleman had a doctorate in, but letters certainly wasn't it.
Also, the files that we were supposed to search were password protected and partly corrupted, and I've tried different combinations that would be considered "obvious" such as the name of the file "1988", "1234" some other assortment of numbers I found within the folder and no matches so, yeah, the doctor was so preoccupied with fitting as many curses in his speech as possible, that perhaps he should've remember to tell the password to the files we were supposed to look into.
Well, after about five jumpscares and a lot of chit-chatting, you find "the heart" of the monster or otherwise supernatural phenomena there lying with the reports, heart which you would've reach faster by the way if you'd skimmed past the litterers and illegal campers rather than filing them like it's a normal work day, and the aforementioned eco-warrior momo shows up offering you that if you file his heart he'll move to another world.
How's that even work, no idea. Why, again, is he so against humanity if his existence depends on excel sheets and paper manufacturers, guess not even the developer knows.
Perhaps he was too busy doing the pixel art work, which unironically looks great, and forgot that this was, or at least pretends to be, an interactive story. Not even a game, an interactive story... In which your only interaction is solving captchas and the story is an assortment of irrelevant characters babbling rather than adressing the glarant plot holes, no, plot voids. The ending itself, MC turning into E. T. for absolutely no reason, should speak volumes of the coherency of "final report"
2/10 (and I'm bring generous)
