Professor Goodman

Professor Goodman is a professor at Moosefoot College, and the only professor JJ texts with. He initially starts out the relationship as an "all business" teacher/student relationship where he texts students about upcoming assignments, but later, the conversations become personal, as he appreciates JJ's love of his class and its subject matter - industrial design. The two have many conversations about the history of industrial design, and he talks about how his fascination with the design of products in movies led to him developing an adult interest in product design.

He also talks about his favorite movies and the making of those movies, particularly Star Wars.

Some fans suspect this is the game director Swery's way of sneaking his own love of movies into the game via another character's dialog, similar to the York and Zack conversations in another game he directed, Deadly Premonition.

Goodman's relationship with JJ never gets too personal, and at one point, he hints that he may be aware of her secret. He even offers to find counseling help for JJ.
