    Doesn't the "Origami killer" sound lame? What would be a better name for the killer? The Crochet killer?

    I agree, but to tell the truth, the game seems to have a typical suspenseful plot. 
     
    That combined with the clunky fahrenheit controls that seem to be on the game, makes me not hyped about the game.

    I believe the Origami killer was just something they made for the demo, right? I don't think it'll be in the full game.

    He leaves a orgami crane on the victim, so I think that's a really fitting name.

    I think it's really cool. And as mentioned, in the context of the game, the murderer leaves an origami crane on all his victims. Hence the name, the Origami Killer.
     
    It's extremely Silence Of The Lambs inspired, but I really like it.
     
    Hence my avatar.

    I think they're trying to get a Zodiac Killer kind of vibe.

    Real serial killers have been called everything from the Zodiac killer to the Green River killer.  Origami killer doesn't sound out of place for a serial killer's pseudonym.

    Serial killers are given names by police stations or the media based on the way they kill, the area they kill in, or any rituals they do (like leaving origami cranes near their victims).

    No? I really don't know where you're coming from here. Origami's cool, and it paints a picture of a murderer who is meticulous in what he does.

    I never said Origami was lame. It just sounds like a made for t.v. movie with that subtitle.

    Although leaving an orgami crane by the victims is such a cliche in murder mysteries (by leaving a calling card of sorts that is) I quite liked the name. It'll be more awesome if the Origami Killer murdered his victims using excessively complex origami models.

    because serial killer names are made for t.v., it's a nick name that people will remember.

    Actually, Origami killer sounds pretty badass. 
    It'd only be lame if he actually threw jagged paper cranes at people

    It looks as if I am in the minority. The name has grown on me since then. So, I concede.

    I think Heavy Rain: Eat Lead - The Return of Matt Hazard is much better.

    Paper cuts are just as bad as murder in my book.
