MILD SPOILERS. Just finished playing with my first ending(s) where I met Kei! Who is such a good guy in a bad world, you know? Sure, I died the first time because of his plan, but I can understand how smart that was! Save your own skin and people first. And when he tends to give us headpats, I just feel so giddy haha, then I have to remind myself he and anyone down here could destroy me. Really enjoyed it and I wanna mention how much I LOVE Vesper(MC), haha. They're just so witty and sassy at times with Keir. Also, many thanks to Rufus and that bear-masked lady, they're real ones! Genuinely appreciated her trying to make sure we're safe. Like it warmed my heart.

Anyways, sorry for the small rant, will keep playing and this was a very fun game! The atmosphere of the lighting, the flow and wit of dialogue, the art style, the sound effects being really immersive(like with the crackle of the campfire, or the shouting I noticed slowly becoming audible before the narration mentions it), and even the safespace(that lets you actually pause and mentally gather yourself) thing is super nice! Thank you everyone for all your efforts in making this game.

I don't see how they're sus? They're styled like those stained glass artworks! Maybe my vision is bad, but I don't see any inconsistency.

SPOILERS!

I haven't gotten every ending yet but WOOH- this game is amazing in story and characters! Ray was very fascinating, and a very tragic guy. We don't even know if he had an actual mom, since he was raised in the lab since birth and PR lies so much. He saw the worst of humanity constantly, and was expected to represent the best of it, even when he killed Heroes and Villains. 

Double is a red flag, and his encounters with Ray's worst parts definitely impacted him(he's still abusive, no excuses there). And Haley's lore is so intriguing too, she clearly has experience with Heroes. Especially back in the rise of Heroes. 

Of course, there are a lot of highlights of Ray's own views. He stalked Player in their Villain arc, and never reported them. He grew up around terrible people who were labeled Heroes(Iron Sheriff or whatever his name was... yikes), with constant negativity like that, it's no wonder he's naturally... resigned to everything. 

Whether he met Player or not, Ray would've gotten tired eventually. And let humanity die to Crawlers, or destroyed it himself. It's like he said, Player let him dream of being more. 

Also, he has mind reading, laser eyes, telekinesis, fire(I REALLY think he's the one who set fire to the apartment after his fight with Luke), poison immunity, super strength, flight, maybe more that I haven't seen yet. That's seven people, that he's devoured into his orbit, with abilities. 

No wonder Double dipped immediately, he knows Ray would've taken his ability, and even Player has noted how Double has used his teleportation brutally... Oh, and sorry for writing so much. The game was awesome!

Double is peak red flag too, but I ain't here to judge! ^^;

About the other death ends, he mentions how he wanted to watch us die. To 'strip himself of his last Humanity' or something like that, even though he hesitated. I'd imagine he'd just carry out his plan as usual no matter what. And the light is just the fire surging in, I assume, it seems to be coming from there anyway.

I was also curious on how exactly a random flame started- I'm assuming Ray started it. Double is too... tense around Ray to risk it(valid even if he's a prick). And Ray was EXTREMELY quick to saving us at the balcony, even if he has powers- we know it still takes time given by how he carried us away from the Crawler. I remember he attacked Luke(Blaze) and the social media said Luke was fine but... if there's anything to learn, don't trust PR. I bet he really did kill Luke, took his power, and he set our place on fire so he could make a decision based on our choice- be our Hero, or let humanity die off.

I'd assume it's a caesar cipher, but if not, I'm just as lost.
