you're taking control of somebody (who may or may not actually be the game's real antagonist, depending on how you interpret certain plot beats) whose entire goal was very possibly implied to just be to have things out for their own twin and went out of their way to bend the reality of the entire world to their whim just to accomplish this. And mind you, probably could have just eliminated said twin from existence if they weren't seemingly trying to go out of their way to make it actively painful.It’s kind of easy to miss… multiple aspects of that though. This is, to be fair, kind of by design: I don’t want to take away from a given player’s own interpretations of the plot, since beyond some of the looser beats that I intended, the specifics are intentionally highly ambiguous, and even the looser intended beats I’m intentionally vague on since I think that makes it all way more interesting.
That being said, because I intentionally wrote it such that the implications can be quite dark if you read it certain ways, it’s in there as something of an abundance of caution.
…ambiguous writing is fun!
