Burning Daylight

Burning Daylight

(Spoilers) About Story of the game
I just finished The Game But first of all. I Dont understand what happened to the -Companion-

Who is Sarah. And who was the old man at the end who came from his wheel chair and sit on

the ground which made 0 sense to me. I understand that The main character had to escape but

i still dont get who was the old man. And what happened to Sarah. And also there was this

moment where there is this person was probably calling for help from the left stairs, who was that person and also

what is the story about the game?

If it is possible to answer would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Do you wish to continue become what they did? a god? or do you wish for the humans to break free? Choosing the chair will give you total control over this facility while the apple doesn't, instead it provides the humans with another resource for obtaining food, other then having to sacrifice themselves. The person who was running the joint before you died and shown you two choices. Either become what they did and continue the cycle or break it by eating the apple. The reason why they died was because the chair was the only thing keeping them alive. This moment here marked whether or not you wish to continue with the status quo or break it and allow the humans to eat the food and water which is being nurtured in this garden.

the old man is the previous god of the world...the garden is the garden of eden and the tree is the tree that gives apples of knowledge...the companion is a symbol of control by the world...breaking free gives you free will...you have a choice at the end of the game...eat the apple and gain infinite knowledge...or sit in the throne and control the rest of the beings that you passed by durring the game...

I'd say it's a choice you make to spread knowledge like Adam or to become the God in control again!

it kinda makes sense that sitting on the chair kinda shows the main character taking over from him. But how eating apple makes main character gain more knowledge is not it suppose to be like eat the apple to destroy the circle?.

And still dont get how Sarah is symbol because i remember picking up the camera from some

dead body and put it on. Sarah said it was low in charger. but how come the women who had the camera previously just died?,,
But when i had it on sarah was constantly warning to hide when going through the gymnastic area. where the people were dancing. So i m assuming the women died because of some accidents. Pls Correct me if i m wrong

It is the creation story in the Bible, apple is what people depict as the fruit of knowledge of good and evil!

im not sure of the dead body part but low battery on the AR device means that your character is begining to lose touch with the society...close to breaking away...since the whole goal of the society is to stay in order with the higherup...if people see that you are breaking away then they will shun you from society

The woman appeared to have drowned and was probably floating there for a while... leading to a headset with a low charge. I wouldn't look any deeper into it than that.

The forbidden apple here is the knowledge of absence of God, I suppose it is implied that it's passed down on other people, taking over for the old man is keeping the old order going by taking over as the new God, just like the old man did before. Reminded me of DkS1 ending a bit, and boy do I love breaking the cycles.

whats the diferant in choosing apple over chair or vice verca at the end does each one open up differant storys or does i follow the same path and is there gonna be more of this game?

Can i ask that after "choosing the apple" , why the last 3 chapters are locked?? If i start it over from the last unlocked chapter then its going to be something else? Or why i need to play the last 3 chapthers again.... just to pick the chair to see nothing new?? I only asking because i doN't know.

Same. i wanted to choose the eating apple ending. but after sitting on chair idk why i sat on it i thought it would look cool llmao. But did i know its the ending lol. it was dissapointing since i didnot know. but when i saw there is this eating apple ending. and it doesnot make sense why the last chapter is locked even after finishing it. Probably a bug?

also i think unfortunately 1 of the ending is sitting on chair and the other is eating apple . On eating apple the screen goes white. and it almost the same on sitting on chair ending.
