I NEED EXPLAINATION!

[Adam]

The game was amazing, I enjoyed all of it. It reminded me of the game "Inside". But what I was expecting didnt come, there wasnt much of a climax and I didnt understand the ending or any of the story really. Make a sequel. I really want to understand it better.

I think I remember a mention of a sequal somewhere by the dev.

All answers in the game, you don't need dlc or sequel to get it. You can check theme "Ending?", there are tons of theories and answers.

That's quite telling that you don't have a solidly explained story. You mentioned somewhere you were inspired by Half-Life 2 by the way it left loose ends. But half life 2 is going to be followed with Half Li--... Well in theory it's going to be followed by Half Life 3 one day.

In other words it plans to tie the loose ends up. It just hasn't yet.

Plenty of people in that thread are simply missing stuff that was (in my opinion) very obvious.

The game doesn't need to spell everything out to have a good story.

That doesnt help. Your game is great, I love it, I still dont understand any of it.

Also, I dont want to go searching for the answers, no one does. We want them IN the game. I feel I bought a game with no ending, it just stops.

Nah, some people are willing to invest the effort to pay attention and search for out-of-the-way clues as to what's happening, and then to fill in the gaps with our imaginations.

I understand that some capsuls fall from the sky and turn everyone into zombies, I have the only transportation. The Gardian is a big robot thing suppose to save us. But who is the stranger? why can he teleport? I went through it twice and still am not sure who most of the characters are like david and Adam I think? I dont even know if the little girl I find out about is even my kid because of how much of the story wasnt explained well enough.

I thought I was going to save the world but it just ended so abruptly. It was dissapointing

We don't really need to KNOW who the Hunter is. It's not actually important to the story.

And yes, the girl is obviously your daughter because her room is inside YOUR house from the start of the game, past the one door you can't access.

Not every story has a happy ending- stories about the end of the world especially so.

I said I dont understand the story, I thought the game was great, I took 100 screenshots because I loved how it looked and thought it was interesting. Maybe I should just play a third time.

1. At one station I go in a loop and find my train attatched to some tentacles. What was all that? It made no sense.
2. The stranger can teleport for some reason.
3. At one point I pressed a button which I though made a missile go off, did I fire a missle or what?
4. Who were all the ones talking to me on the trains messages?
5. The guys I met at the station with 1 building and they were planning on doing something to me? I have no clue what that was about.

There was also the tunnel obviously implying you were on a different planet by having two moons (or some heavenly bodies) in the night sky as well.

Yeah, what the hell, this is why I dont understand anything about the story.
