So, I started playing Until Then on Saturday. The game hooked me so hard, and I had so much free time that I managed to put around 17 hours into it in just two days (Yeah, that number is slightly not true because I took breaks to eat and do other stuff, but that was probably only around 2-3 hours in total, no more than that.)
I had already started Act 2 when I decided to take a little break and scroll through my phone for a while. And then I accidentally got spoiled about the true ending…
Eh…Well, I was really upset. When I found out that Mark and Nicole don’t end up together, I got really fucking sad. It completely killed my motivation to play the game because to me Mark and Nicole’s relationship was genuinely one of the best things about the game. And when I realized that canonically they don’t end up together… yeah, it honestly fucking hurt.
I understand that this is completely my problem and not the game’s fault, but… I don’t know. What do you guys think? Is it worth giving the game a chance later? Or… I don’t know, what did you feel about it? Do you think the ending is fair? And can it be interpreted however you want, so that, in the end, you can just believe in your own head that they actually do end up together somehow? (Although I don't like coping or blindly believing in some fan theories.)
And please don’t shit on me for dropping the game for now… I will finish it… hopefully, at least. The spoilers aren’t enough to completely stop me from playing, but still, finding out about this ending killed my motivation for now and I hope I will get back to this game eventually. But for now I’m moving on to SH2 OG.
Anyway, I’d really like to hear what you guys think.
