It’s only my headcanon, but I like to imagine the supernatural element of Uncharted 4 >!was the pirate treasure. As Nadine points out towards the end of the game, everyone who comes into contact with the treasure becomes obsessed with it, even to the point of killing each for it. Even when everything is falling apart, the heroes and villains continuing fighting each other over gold and trinkets that they can’t even claim, just like Avery and all the founders did back when their pirate colony was first founded!<
You could just as easily say that the narrative is perfectly mundane, but I like the ambiguity of it. It feels like it’s up to the player to decide what kind of story it is.
