Hotline Miami Story/Plot makes no sense *Spoilers

Ok I finish Hotline Miami and have no idea what the plot/story was about besides the characters you play getting phone calls to kill people. Seems like the makers just made a bunch of crazy scenes to keep people entertained while they are playing the game. Nothing really adds up or makes any sense. Say for instance the final character being killed earlier by you. How is it that when you take control of the final character you kill the original character from the begining. I remember the original character was hurt badly and put in the hosipital but, wasn't the reason for that because he got shot in his apartment by some guy with a animal mask? Also, all of the dreams he has what were the meaning behind them?

Just seems like the game didn't make a lick of sense. Oh and the trailers says it's based on a true story lol...

Lol based on a true story..

Main char 1 gets drugged up and threatened to do the jobs he does. When you encounter main char 2 for the first time it appears you kill him but what actually happened is that he injures you so bad that you fall in a coma. Everything after that with main char 1 is just a comatose dream and not really happening, until you leave the hospital. This is the reason you see all the f*cked up dead people everywhere between level 8-11.

Main char 1 thinks the mafia are the people giving him the jobs, and thus he kills the russian guys in his boss level, but he is wrong. Main char 2 finds out the actual masterminds are the 'janitors' (terrorist cell) from the patriottic American front in an effort to kill the russian mobsters in the US. You learn this when you get the secret ending using the password on the computer.

Good and fun game

Resurrecting a three month old thread just to make a dumb (and already made) joke.
