[SPOILERS] So... uhm... about the ending....

[Kahal]

Ok, nice game, got me curious... but there is a explanation? My troublesome questions:

How ludwig knew rose?
How Rose was in two places?
How the hell Ada wrote the letter in the future and put it to the past?
Something i missed? of it's just plain mystery to everyone?
Not that i didn't like the game, i actually liked the thinking processes of note having everythin to you, but I missed something? in the actual game that explain this?

Ludwig, during the chase, shouted at Rose that he was also at the masquerade and that it was all her fault. Rose walked past the hall where the masquerade was held in the second or third chapter, there were masquerade masks everywhere. Also, when he stabbed her hand with the knife, he said "stabbed hand" thoughtfully, as if that explained it to him.
Rose saw a scene from the future where she carried her sister's body and put it under a tree, but she could not get to her sister's body during the game because the laboratory was closed.
At the end of the game, Tesla contacts Rose via a communicator and says that everything can be returned and everything can be fixed, including Ada, while we see that the ship is sinking, which means that Tesla must be dead or in great danger. There are also incomprehensible green symbols all over the ship, nowhere does it explain what it is, but this sign is found in the letters that Rose received throughout the game. Speaking of emails, their sender is still unknown to us, and I have an idea that Rose herself is sending them only from the future.
So I think that there is an obvious calculation for the second part, which will explain all the understatement of the first game. there were too many moments that were clearly left for the player to notice, but did not continue in any way. As for example in the newspapers that we find on the ship a lot is told about Addison's spies who infiltrate the ship, there was even a huge board with posted suspects, their nicknames and signs of appearance in the first chapter of the game, but this line does not get any development at all in the plot and I think this will be an important component of the second part of the game, where Rose will be in the past, perhaps she will somehow encounter both Edison's spies and Ludwig mb

I just thought that the emails that we receive are probably not from the future, but from the past, just with delayed sending, because we only receive them when Rose passes by the mail. perhaps, like the letter from my sister, we will send these letters to the future ourselves.

I see, I liked your point. I've gave some thought and in my view ludwig is trapped in a time loop which make him go mad, assuming the "rollback" Tesla said in the end will probably rewind the events I thought that maybe the game began in like loop 3 in time, being loop 1 where everything went to hell and your sister struggling to survive (she don't die in the surgery room since Aubrey never know she's there) wrote the letter to you and send it, end the first loop. Second loop you get the letter and you get to Helios before everything went to hell, there you get to know the ship, ludwig and the tube text system, then all goes to hell and you do something to ludwig in the masquerade, Aubrey knows where your sister are because of you and then he let the exo in to kill her, later on you found her body and move her to the roses, seeing everything went to hell somehow you resend her letter to you with Tesla's help and Ada research along with the tube messages and in the end ludwig get eletrocuted and going into the loop with all his memories and going mad, end of loop 2. And then loop 3 where all the time lines colide and you can see the past as lights but with some actions going on in this "present", ludwig is already insane trying to break the circle and saying that time is not a river since he went against the current and all the game's events happen.

But that is something I came up thinking after finishing the game, actually nothing corroborates with this theory. Overall I get the feeling that a lot of it would be explained but the game had to be cut. Thanks for sharing, I like this mind-bricking moments.

Unfortunately the ending is not good. The writers still don't understand that unfinished endings don't work at all (same problem in tv shows), first make a complete first part with a full story and then you'll see if there's interest in a second.

I was hoping for a New Game + sort of thing where you get some kind of backstory/explanation. But sadly there is nothing

[TinyTinaJade]

In teslas office there is a document confirming they have cracked the time travel issue. So both ada and rose must have travelled forward(and back potentially) to account for the unexplained actions/letters. Also if you listen carfully, in one of your conversations with Ada, in the static you can hear another Rose saying "Ada?"
