Yeah, I had pretty much the same experience, but the delivery still made it very worthwhile. The game is pretty good at building things up.I pretty much saw that twist coming once they put so much emphasis on some rando merchant (at the time) getting a whole unique sprite for that brief flash. Once they started so much of Yukimasa in the flashbacks, I knew for sure. I totally thought the second beast was going to be Javi though, as he made a beast noise while he was talking to Pauline on the beach. Really enjoyed it, and apparently things only get better from here.
Just started Door 3, and I already want to punch someone.
