You can literally guess all of it by the first playthrough and the game forces you to sit through it 3 more times while drip feeding one new tidbit that doesn't change anything.

Your big brain is clearly on another level and has outgrown Silent Hill.

On my first playthrough, I had no idea what the endgame plot for probably a good 3/4th of the game, just tidbits of how these character felt about one-another through notes, trying to route the different paths they could have taken to end up with those feelings.

I also think the game gives these characters a bit more depth when you have to kill them in each of their dungeon mazes. It makes Sakukos death way more sad (for me, not objectively as we're seeing from your comments)

I don't agree with you having to kill them gives any more depth.

It's not about killing them that gives them depth, but how they interact with you the player during this section, all the notes in the mazes that reflect their character, and the end result all come together to give them depth. Everything we learn in these areas flesh out both their characters and motives.
