Very Good Game, Poor Ending
This is a very good game: it has excellent graphics, appealing voice acting, literate dialogue, and an interesting story. It's quite easy for experienced adventure gamers, but that just means you won't have to rely on a walkthrough all the time.

But the ending is pretty poor. I won't reveal anything but it feels like a setup for a sequel, Still Life-style.

i see this everywhere and everytime i agree...the game was brilliant but the endign was just like a big ♥♥♥♥ you.
Too bad the studio closed. I would love a sequel.

haha "Still Life style" is very true indeed. i.e. they both ran out of money!

Just finished it. Was enjoying throughout the game, the ending does feel rushed and weak.

Yeah loved the game so much but that ending.. how abrupt and terrible. Way to ruin a good game

Completely agree with all of the feels. Enjoyed the game up until that ending.

Sorry, but I somewhat liked the ending. It is bitter but coherent and unexpected.

I really like the way the criminals escaped from the police, using drugs to fake the death

I played this game years ago and liked it but never completed it so decided to do that now. Boy ... that ending really was daft. I don't mind a bad ending but in this case it was a double "FU" and cheaply done as well. I'm used to adventure games having poor endings but this one really made me go "wha?".

Yes, that ending was so bad. Plus you don't even know if Timothy escape from the policemen or ended up in jail or even die?

The very worst ending in video gaming history, no wonder the creators went out of business... a brilliant game all the way and then the clowns deside to screw themselves in the last 10 minutes of the game and blow the experience for everyone at the same time.... The end actually made me regret spending any time at all playing this game...:steamfacepalm:

I have a feeling from a moment Tim and his friend Brian escaped prisoner wagon with Adiu Jack, game seems so rushed towards the end. Looks like devs run out of money and had to wrap it up quickly...:steamsad:

That's pretty lame, the game's ending really felt like it was setting up a sequel.

I found the ending to be pretty good mainly as it subverted the whole 'happy ending' thing, and I think it was better for it.

I will say though that the sudden appearance of CGI cutscenes in like the last 1/3 of the the game was unexpected.

I agree to what you said, they probably had a good reason for that. The rest of the game had a very different approach where you could do more.
But also, honestly both characters had been through a lot of risky situations, and then they decided to split so it became even riskier in many ways.

And the fact that Tim said "i had a feeling it would not be the last time we see each other" clearly indicates a sequel + no one actually dies. They are both in serious danger + pain. but neither is dead when the cutscene ends. :steamhappy::steamsad:

What you mean no-one dies? the cop was buried alive, and the other guy was sentenced to death. Great ending.
