SPOILER WARNING: Don't read unless you've played!
The ending really re-contextualized the main menu for me. There was no new game, I initially thought because in the game we are narratively at the point of no return. No retrying, no starting over, just moving forward, only able to continue from where Avan is now. But seeing the meta reason, that we are continuing the save of the nameless gamer within the game?? Amazing work. You're a really good writer.
