One, did you talk to Re. Resident, you probably did I guess? Two, well to get the ending, all you have to do is tell everyone something. The NPC base guy tells you to do something like that before he is cut off, and I kind of didn't want to give it away as it is pretty simple to reach the ending if you know what you are doing. But yes, my connection to the theme is really loose, this was originally hockey with guns. Then basketball with guns, and there was going to be a time gun in this one, but I wasn't sure how to implement it with the story. Thanks for the comment! And also, that was completely intentional, it took me a while to figure out how to make the NPC's "break" like that.
