Okay, thanks <3
So, I finished it, and holy heck. This had such an impact on me, wow. Thanks for the assurance. I saw another comment that read "I can't believe Amicus left me on Earth like that", and I'm relieved to learn that it was in a good way. I can't wait for Adastra II. I wonder if we'll play the protagonist more. I hope so...
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I know I sure did. There are a couple different ways to make the story take other routes. There is what you would call a bad ending, which occurs when you are asked if you agree to submit yourself to the benevolent will of the parents. If you say no to this (and I would advise making a save at this spot) then later on after the fight between Cato and Amicus, something different happens.
The story is also slightly altered depending on your answer to three other questions in the game. Picking more A answers will lead to a certain scene in the late game playing out one way, and picking more B answers will lead to it playing the other way. These aren't the exact words to the questions, but I got this from MurlocMazta here on this page.
What does death mean to you (Infinity A / Oblivion B)
Will Amicus be a good emperor (Yes A / No B)
Should Amicus talk more with Neferu (Yes A / No B)
Hope that helps.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Fair enough. Even the 'bad' ending isn't really dark per say. When you're asked about submitting to benevolent will of the parents, if you no, things at first seem to progress as normal, but when MC interferes with the fight between Cato and Amicus and gets killed, he is left to become part of the Amalgamation and is not revived.
As for the second ending of the game, the one revolving around the three choices, if you pick at least two 'B' answers, when you get to the late game scene where the Monitor shows you what your future will be line (in route A), instead of getting that, you are faced with the spirit of Meera, and are actually TOLD of the plans that are made for you, unlike in route A where you are not told anything about it. You end up discovering though that the illusion of Meera was actually the Other.
