Did I get the bad ending?

Is there more than one ending? or somehow I did something wrong. I just was not expecting the game to end so grimly.

Just the one.

The game only has one ending, I'd like to note that at a point during development they had apparently talked about giving you choices and these choices having an impact on the rest of the game as well as the ending, not in a morality system sense but actual consequences of actions sense, but the only choice you can make is at the start, where you decide whether or not you want to get the little guy out of his pod alive or just kill him and take his dismembered arm to open the door instead.

Otherwise, whatever ideas of choices they were talking about, or potential options they were going to give us, seem to have been killed before conception, as there is only one ending, there are no ways to change it, and besides that singular choice, you will be railroaded through to the end of the game.

The whole game was grim, so why do you expect that the ending should be better? That's how life is; ugly and without mercy.

that's the good ending, there is no bad ending

lol yeah, i just realize that. The imagery of the last part is pretty twisted.

I think the ending was sad but good, it deepens the main concept of the game and make the game world complete

i dont own the game, i only watched a livestream for it fully, but only 1 ending, and it looks and feels like 75% of the game was canceled and the "world story telling" was so bad, the world looked amazing which makes it sad

but not one thing hinted at why the big ass creature was on top of the elevator thing to the train

not 1 thing explained why the robot at the end kept stabbing you after your transference thing, or why you can grab one of its arms and why you STILL kept stabbing your own body

and the way the ending was it felt like you reached a POSSIBLE ending point (like if you got a early bad ending), or a continuation point, but nope just ending only

the world seemed very very linear like its a big ass building yet only had what 5 doors? not to mention you never max out the door opener thing you get 5/6 as far as i saw?

and as several people stated there was suppose to be moral choices yet wasnt really any

or why you killed the jar babys for blood to awaken what seemed like robots since in the ending it completely stops moving once to far away anyways

and personally the "puzzles" especially the train elevator maze puzzle seemed like just a way to force the game longer by forcing you to unlock 3 floors and then revisit previously unlocked floors just to double the acts length
