Hi, thanks for playing the game and thanks for the very thoughtful and interesting comments.
I think I mostly agree with you. The thesis explored in the game is indeed pretty extreme, I don't think I'd stand by it as an actual representation of reality.
It's more like poetry. The complete dissolution is mostly a trick to make the loop structure and the color trick work xD
But I do think that in our hyper individualistic era we could use some more collectivist stories and fairytales xD it's a bit provocative to make people think, and a bit vague to remain open to interpretations.
I do wonder how much of our conceptualisation of the borders between the individuals and the hyperobject depends on the culture we're raised in. It's really good that you mentioned that now, I'll pay attention to that in the future playtests that I do and see if there's something to document here.
If I had to pinpoint my actual position I tend to think of consciousness and selfhood as a story we tell ourselves, so the actual dissolution finale in this case should be something like : your story continues beyond your meat body by intermeshing with others.
love the visuals and the vibe!
my headcannon for the berlin ending is that you're getting beat up by cops cause germany is one of the countries with the strongest repression of anti-genocide protests. this actually still makes me scared to go, but I guess it'll probably be allright if I pretend hard enough to be negationist. scary tho
Hi! First of all thanks for playing, further thanks for reporting the bug and sorry it happened to you. I see exactly what you're referring to because I've battled with it during the development process, I thought I had it under control but it is apparently not the case. The vertical scrolling is supposed to happen, I'm not sure why it doesn't. I'll enforce it with stricter conditions and setup a maximum height for the text.
