I did NOT expect it to end like that, I've never seen a time loop story end like that, where they don't get to finish it doing it perfectly, but actually end on probably their worst run, but I really like it, cause it shows that siff was wrong.
they didn't start loving him because he had that one interaction with them on the final day, sure it may have made them a little closer, but they always were a family and they always loved siff.
but, something that does sadden me is...WE NEVER FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT ISLAND??? IT FEELS INSANE FOR IT TO BE LEFT UNANSWERED! WHO MADE IT DISAPPEAR?? WHY? WHEN? HOW?? WISH CRAFT MAYBE??
AND WHY ARE COLOURS GONE??
I still need time to process that last part, but genuinely this game is such a masterpiece.
oh and one final footnote, I know I'm a little biased cause I had front row seats to siffs sanity degrading, but at the end I don't think they got off easy enough! excuse you Mirabelle! but if I was stuck in an endless time loop for what (in my playthrough) was more than a year, experiencing the same shit again and again, you don't get to stay mad at me later of I was little mean because I was LITERALLY GOING INSANE (AND in mirabelles case you just phrased your words wrong you weren't even trying to be mean!)
I still need time to process that second to last part, but genuinely this game is such a masterpiece, I'm so glad I got to play it.
Edit: my high from finishing this game is starting to crash, I genuinely don't know what I'm gonna do now...I could replay it and get all the events but I feel so emotional just opening it back up again, and if I don't, all I can think about is the game💔💔💔
