I have no clue if I finished this or not, I got to a clear ending and then the game froze, alt+f4'd and restarted and got no indication that I had done anything.
I'm 90% sure I rolled credits but just didn't get the chance to see them.
I find these games interesting but they've not fallen flat for me 3/3 times. I am excited to come back and see more (maybe I haven't actually got to the credits!) but I don't think it'll satisfy me. Also when I say fallen flat I mean I am usually in awe, inspired and blown away in the first half hour, then find the whole game a slog, then I resort to a guide (not this time!) and then am let down by the ending.
I do like that you can watch the whole story in chronological order now though, which is something I really wanted in Her Story and Telling Lies.
Also I can't wait for people on Youtube to explain this to me properly.
Even if I didn't love it, I can't deny this game (and the previous Sam Barlow/Half Mermaid games) are incredibly special. Like ok, I didn't fully get it, I got annoyed at some parts, I thought some of it was unintuitive, but in 7 years there are only three games like this. As a recently graduated game designer, there's just something incredible about this game.

Yeah saw the fire and then the game crashed during the monologue after. Hoping to go back to the game next month and try it again.
