Ending (spoilers...duh)

[crazypumpkins]

so...I reached the end and well....it is a bit of a downer. Are there multiple endings? Is there something that I didn't do? thanks, everyone! :) Regardless, this was such an awesome game and I hope Raw Fury works on more!

let me eat the dreamer and become god thats all i ask

FR FR. I mean - It kinda sucks to lose without fighting due to PLOT. If you're going to force an Eldritch Abomination ending on us why not let us become the Eldritch Abomination.

Because that's not how Eldritch Abominations work ;)

Oh, and on another note: This game was heavily inspired by the movie Aliens.
The little girl (Newt) mentions that "The monsters mostly come out at night. Mostly".
And the Alien Queen in her hive is very comparable to the Alien Queen. And the seemingly dead colonist says "Please kill me" (in the movie, a chest burster comes out and they shoot it and get ambushed. Here they had plenty of time to actually kill the poor sod. But they didn't). The sleeping god is like the architects from Alien's Prometheus and Coventant movies. Seen in that light, I think it is safe to assume that the archipelago got nuked from orbit in the end...

Yes, I noticed all these references as well. Some of the scenes were lifted straight out of Aliens and given an Eldritch twist. The sleeping Gods are a less direct allusion, however, as that theme has been prevalent in the Cthulhu mythos for decades (and it could be argued that, in this case, the movies mentioned lifted from it).

Cosmic Horror, sure, but this felt like a bad ending. There is not even a subtle hint, its just out right "Get F'd, nothing you did matters except the very ending". It felt rushed.
