SPOILER WARNING-
Actually no, she isn't the murderer. She just gave them the gift, the ones who already had the 'potential' in them, with a touch, just like you. Their actions after that where their own completely. They both acted of their own choices, she just provided the nudge to awaken their powers and stood back and watched what they did with it.
After its all over, you realize, that she truly thought this is what most of humanity wanted, and only wanted to do it to give them what they wanted. Adachi and Namatame acted of their own free will in their decisions with the power they had gained, he is still as much the killer, but she is just a part of the bigger picture, creating the midnight channel as a portal to that world. Adachi still made his own decisions.

If you're reading this far into the thread I think it's safe to say we shouldn't tag spoilers anymore, anyone who hasn't beaten the game should stop reading.
Anyway, you're overthinking things. Izanami just did it because she's a jerk. She knew Adachi was going to be an asshole with it, but she gave it to him anyway.
I'm not gonna argue with you on it, if you took something different away from the game than I and other did, but what you're saying is just your opinion of what you seem to think of her. She still didn't kill anyone specifically, he chose to do what he did. Anyway whatever, just was trying to explain it for Stang I believe who said otherwise.
someone tell me who the killer is. I will never play this game but I really want to know, because of the endurance run, and I'm not going to wait until that's over to find out. Message me or post in the forum or whatever just do it.

However, in the "True" ending, you find it's some sort of God. Youtube the true ending for more.
Regardless of the narrative ending, I absolutely loved the anime cutscene leading up to the credits. It was fantastically chipper and bittersweet. The bad and normal endings are like attending a funeral by comparison.
Well for 90% of the game you are chasing Namatame, since you are with Adachi when Rise is kidnapped, it tricks you into thinking he's not the killer. But when you find out it's not Namatame you can guess who it was pretty easily.
It's hard to keep people guessing when they only have a limited amount of characters. Can't afford voice acting and character art for everyone.
But I was happy with the ending, I'm glad they didnt copout and make the killer someone you only saw once or twice in the whole game. Or even worse it could of been your "shadow".
