Use of the limitation
Whenever the player is able to make a decision, there is (almost) always an option to just kill the person you're talking to which ends the game. Also, one particular character will ruminate at length about life, death, and free will.

Was there a way to get a good ending? Or does even the best ending say "End(?)"
I like the concept of always having that urge to kill wired into your mind as V.05. They really are like a child, with the way they speak. It does invoke that feeling of wanting to shape them into a moral person.
Submitted this on the last day! I almost didn't have time to rate it. Good job getting it out there though, nice work on the illustrations- must've been hard to crank them out so quickly.
Thank you for your kind comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
And there isn't really a "good" ending so to speak. Almost all the endings aren't true endings in that the story ends there, hence the question mark on the ending page. There's always more to it, and even in what can be considered the "good ending" of the final two choices, I wanted to imply with the dialogue that it isn't the end of V.05's story.
And in truth, the world of GUT THEM has been swirling around in my head for a while. So the decision to have the ending screen show "End(?)" is also to represent my desire to revisit the world and its characters - so this game isn't a true end either.
I see! If you ever continue the story, I would like to see it through.
