I was wondering-what do you think of the co-ordinates given in one of the endings? Just something put in by the devs for the hell of it? Or the start of some sort of treasure hunt IRL?

I see your "Irizu is behind everything" and raise you one: Irizu is IRIS. The names are way too close to be coincidental. Irizu found the phone, gutted it, replaced the digital assistant with a direct feed to Irizu themselves. Irizu called it IRIS because it bears resemblance to SIRI without violating copyright (1. make it believable to both player and Sara, 2. hello Samsung), and it was Irizu's mistake to make IRIS as intelligent as it is, because Irizu is literally writing it as they go. And let's face it, we don't even know if Irizu is a real person or a pseudonym for someone else. Faith could be Irizu, using a burner phone; as you point out, it would fit in the timeline and would easily explain how Irizu "got" Sara's number from Faith. As for why Irizu would go to this amount of trouble? It's a game to them, exactly like it's a game to the person playing "Sara is Missing." They made an excessively elaborate plot, they executed it, and they were successful beyond their wildest dreams. Irizu/Faith are having the adrenaline high of their life right now, which also goes to explain the flaws in their writing for IRIS. If all that is the case, then there are no issues in the logic of the writing--just that they made it all way too difficult to figure out without a veritable army of people deliberately trying to figure it out. There's so little information given to us, any of this could be total BS, but could just as easily be completely true.
