Ending kinda sucked... [SPOILERS]

[AiraSora]

Yeah, pretty much what the title says. I think the creators meant for it to be an "open ending", but instead it was just an ending. I enjoyed the gameplay, and was somewhat interested in the story - though that wasn't the game's selling point for me - but that ending just kinda ruined it. It wasn't an open ending, it just ended :(

It's an open ending because it doesn't give any indications about the outcome of the fight.
And yeah it kinda suck to not explain if the protagonists are dead, alive ... or whatever

actually it DOES. He had a scissor, while J reached in his jacket (picture) and you heared a BANG. Guess who won the fight? the scissor or the gun?

And YES, that ending made me hate that game, even i liked it beforehead somehow. It's EXTREME dark humor was quite enjoyable until the end turned it for me.

It's really disappointing, because the game, up until the ending, does a good job keeping to at least one of three themes: Dark, humor, romance (between the main characters). The ending doesn't really serve any of these. An open ending makes sense if it poses a philosophical question, for example. In this case, the open ended-ness doesn't add anything.

So, the real devil is the dev for planting this ending in our screen.
Question answered.

You already see the death flag after they talk to each other before Mr.J supper.

I just wish that we can kill every important in the story with style instead of cutscene.

THat's what I thought. But J wants them to cook for him. So it does not make sense.

I think, they are alive. Because there are no bodies in the ending screen xD Seriously, Mr. J didn't expect "no", so he was taken by surprise.

[kakodaimonos]

It's pretty save to say that Mr. J is dead.
We only heard one gunshot I doubt he killed both of them in one single shot. Also the Chair he was sitting on was covered in blood and there was only one bloodtrail out of the room.

Well, someone is dead, and someone is left xD

Makes no sense to keep one of them alive because they would try everything to kill him.

The ending was foreshadowed by the cutscene where the boy who saw the female lead as the mother comes to her with a story book. The storybook is a very mirror image of the game's story where 2 people stumbles into a 'baddie's' layer. In the book it's 2 brother into a witches house, whereas in the game it's a serial killer couple into a town with a powerful guy called Mr.J. In the storybook the ending was unknown because of water damage and the women tells the kid to 'learn to read and write so he can forge his own happy endings'.

Basically the devs are telling you to learn to code and make a game with the ending you want. I am half joking but yea it's an open ending that they did try to foreshadow.

Yes, but this cutscene can be seen only after titles, AND there are three corpses still laying in the attic.

Forcing players to come up with their own canon ending is the textbook definition of lazy writing.

It feels like a stage play. I thought Peter would come back or what others would do, but these foreshadows seem to have been abandoned.
