I got two bad endings and presumably missed the good one. Would you mind sharing how to achieve that ending?

Anyway, although I didn't understand the story, it was intriguing. At first I thought Rosa was daydreaming to escape a sense of hollowness, but then the void was introduced, and then the black sludge scene, and then the imprisonment of Rosa by Nellie? Quite obscure to me. If I may guess, does this story imagine a world where fictional characters reside in outside of their stories? A place where they can fabricate other fictional worlds but are burdened by the fact that nothing really exists?

The choice of graphics and music was appropriate. I was genuinely a bit frightened when the glitchy Rosa suddenly popped into view. Nice.

(Also, the response options weren't always highlighted in pink when I hovered over them.)

The response options only change to pink when hovered over if they go to passages you've read before. Would've changed it so all links have the same colour when hovered over, but I couldn't figure out how to in time.

As for the rest, including how to get the True Ending:

When you get taken back to the beginning of the game (to the screen where it says "a game by DreamCartographer"), look closely at "DreamCartographer".  The "Dream" part is in bold the first time you return to the beginning of the game, and looks clouded over after getting there from the second Bad End.

To reach the True Ending you have to click on "Dream" and type in the text box that appears (it doesn't matter what you type - you'll see why). This will enable you to escape the "Are you sure" scene and progress further. Just like before, you'll have to keep clicking "Escape". You will eventually unlock the way out. (If you do this after getting the second Bad End, you'll be taken straight to the scene in question.)

The fictional world where Rosa was with the hero is a place where Rosa and Nellie (the narrator for said world) lead fictional characters (the heroes) through an adventure tale so that the Void can feed on the heroes' despair when they get to the end of the adventure and discover everything was fake and they don't really exist. When Rosa and Nellie aren't doing this they live in the Void, which takes care of and feeds them.

(At least, that's what you're told is happening...)

Thanks for playing my game. I'm glad you liked it, and hope this helps you understand the story better and reach the end!
