The ending (Spoilers.)

[Dufflebags]

I, I... don't really get it. I chose Everdusk. So, this whole game, is about some poor ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ forced to relive the same event for all of eternity? Like some really twisted version of Groundhog day?

Poor ♥♥♥♥ing Burden.

Or do you get more answers if you go with Xeno?

If this is the case don't tell me what happens, just tell me I will learn more. haha.

EDIT: Great game for the record. Loved it.

[Heantrad]

No, the only diference with chosing Xenolifer is that the cure floats to the oposite way.
Burden (or better said, Sargent) starts the history again if he dies, so when the black hole sucked him, he died, and started over again.

[a razor named qualia]

We honestly have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clue what the ♥♥♥♥ is going on.
The DLC should explain it, and I have a theory on here somewhere.

[Heantrad]

I still thinking that the digital comic and artbook should explain more about the history (and I think they do)

[Dufflebags]

I can't wait for DLC. (:

Not enough. The Artbook does explain a little, but history is up to the player to invent.
The Everdusk is pretty much an unknown variable however.
Seriously, they said "Learn more about the secrets of the Everdusk Company", and we have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clue what the ♥♥♥♥ they're up too.
I bet it's satanic.
It's probably satanic.

Everdusk are the descendants of the Illuminati.

I see the story more as a meta story, where Burden is a videogame character forced to relive the many iterations of the game as players try to beat each scenario.

And the game is all about choice but also about how choice in videogames ultimately don't matter as the consequences of the choices made by players in games rarely if ever affect the systems of the game.

Am I alone thinking, that black (strange) hole is the reason Burden is stuck in this endless loop? However i thought Br4ndon has some connection to it, but who knows

I thought the same, but then I remember Burden (Sargent) says that it's the first time that he beats Liam, so it's the first time he enters the black hole.

More likely he only thinks it is the first time, as he only realises himself looped before crashing into the xeno ship.. Actually I thought (before i knew it) that there will be some anomaly to teleport him, during the final flight, as for the suit!

Maybe, and only maybe, the Xeno-Suit and his energy caused a conflict with Sargent's suit, and with B4ND-ON in the suit too, well ♥♥♥♥ happend.

Man, I couldn't agree more.
And also , the feeling that Burden has repeatedly done the same so many times is just depressing when you take the time to think about it

As the resident GWBW expert (Barring Chapter 5 for somewhat obvious reasons) , I have to definitely disagree with this.
The idea that the players are the gods is definitely one worth looking at, but not the one the game's canon follows or the one that should be considered "True".

i understand what you are saying, but is there room for a Canon story and a Meta story? I agree with you but I also think there are multiple layers, each with its interpretation
