Hey, finished the game last night and adored it. I loved some of the characters (Cassie......) and hated some others, and overall had a great time with the game. It really reminded me of some of the older PC98 games like Policenauts / Snatcher, Yu-No, or games like Famicom Detective Club (ok, not technically a PC98 game, but still in that vein). Like Roadwarden, I was really (very) impressed that this was made in Ren'py!

I was curious about the ending I got though, which is that it seems like no matter what, you get a 'bad end' for Cassie, which was a little sad. I enjoyed the engram showing me all the different choices, and I got the 'top route' almost entirely, which meant I plunged into the portal with Cassie. I assume the bottom branch is where the Lt. doesn't go to rescue her. That being said, is it safe to assume there's no ending where I manage to make my way back with her?

I assume not since I think it's setting up some sequel games which require Cassie to have been kidnapped, since her engram contains so much data that the mysterious worshipers / supplicants of the Mother AI desire , but I hope this isn't the end of Cassie (and the Lt's!) journey and relationship together. We promised to go to a water park together!
