So... there's no ending to the story?? (light spoilers)

[The Guardian Fox]

Played for quite a while to get everything to 99, do all house request, donate all books and unlock the Edge of Solemn and... nothing happens? What's the point of bringing up the danger of the underworld if there isn't going to be some kind of resolution? Even if they had a temporary solution it would've been more fulfilling than just nothing... At least give me some fanfare for doing all that work, y'know? Some kind of scene with Dark and Lilith at the Edge of Solemn? Something?

I get that this game is meant to be open ended, but you can have an open ended game that also has some form of story resolution...

The Ending is the Town you built along the way :)

Tho i do feel ya, i been there almost from the beginning of the game and the end just feels highkey underwhelming. At first it really was just a town-building/friend-making sim featuring grind and by the later iterations we got some implications of plot that just get dropped the moment you unlock the edge of solemn all those books led up to like a hot potatoe, it really just felt hamfisted

[DragonsDusk]

I really thought there was more story coming with a lot of the hints they dropped. getting to the edge was under whelming. No new dialog from Dark. Getting items that seem kind of pointless after endgame and I thought they were going somewhere with Lilith. I wonder if we'll get DLC that deals with those.

What annoys me you how the game "basically" ends when you get married. The credits roll and you get a bunch of scenes between npcs. Felt kind of pointless for me to continue on much after that.

[DragonsDusk]

I had kind of hoped the hook up scenes with the NPCs had gone somewhere. But much of the dialog seems exactly the same.[/spoilers]

[MerlinsKeeper (MK)]

I just unlocked the edge of solemon thought we got answers to what really happened, is there stil a treat, guess I am done playing unless i want 100%

[Kitty Soldier]

yeah, same here. i really felt like this was building up to reveal that this isnt just a farm/relationship town maker game, but have a deeper story.

especially seeing how difficult it was to get all the books together and unlock the mystical edge. to be greeted by a mere island, gaining two pointless items

(the season changer is only really useful for getting the books and finishing the museum. since the books have many of the items the museum needs, it comes to no surprise that the museum is pretty much finished by the time you finish adventuring for the books)

i even tried bringing Lilith and Dark to the edge to hang out, figuring they might have a cutscene hidden or something... but sadly not :c

i loved making my town in the game, i loved the story it drew... but it didnt end on a high note, especially seeing they hinted at the darkness returning

maybe a possible sequel game perhaps? only time will tell.

[heidivanderlee]

ugh yeah i just came here to say basically the same thing. there's a lot of hinting!

Sean is already working on a new game in the same universe, with many of the same characters. It is highly likely that the next part of the story is forthcoming.

His twitter account has some teasers. https://twitter.com/SeanYoungSG/status/1359316705844035592
