alright, so i want to know who in the cast is guilty of the crime of hand holding? how much fun do you have with fan theories that are absolutely wrong? how do you feel if they are somehow way to precise? has any theory caused an impact to make changes to the plot?

No theories made us change the story. Our philosophy is that if a reader pieced it all together and got it right then they deserve the satisfaction of knowing it. After all, we want people to play detective, and that means we have to play by the rules.
If you check the older threads on the forum you'll see this already happened with some people figuring out that Jean is Hermes, that P being a peacock connected him to the original Argos Panoptes. Both those points were even added to the Minoh Wiki as theories, and we consider them achievements as game designers. The game is supposed to be "beatable," and seeing a few galaxy-brained gigachads piecing it all together is the best confirmation we can have!
To be honest we have more fun when people get too close to the truth, rather than too wrong. Hypothetically speaking, some people can get things so wrong it impairs their capacity to enjoy or even understand the events of the story. But this is an extraordinarily rare occurrence, because our readers are very smart.
