Yeah... I am not understanding this one.
I was initially excited when this game I had never heard received glowing reviews in praise of it's mysterious layers of depth. I went in with a pad of paper for notes and the full intention of seeing it through, but I kept plodding along for rooms upon rooms, trying to decipher the cryptic lore while only occasionally getting some interesting puzzles to do along the way.
I really didn't care for the big boob anime intermissions with big boob anime humor and am still not sure if they have any actual function in the game. Maybe there is a secret meaning to them but it felt like I was being forced to closely observe something that is just boring to me.
I came across a lot of secrets, some which were rewarding, but many just feeling like some sort of bonus ending that can't be understood without reaching the other endings.
This game might be fun to watch a walkthrough of, because I'm sure there's a lot I didn't see, but it was a slog to play. I played for about 8 hours and called it once I just felt like I was walking in circles reading a book I don't like.

You don't really need any endings to understand that the lotus tree memories exist to flesh out Gray and Lillie's relationship and establish why Gray's exploring the Void in the first place (Do you remember why you came here?). And while the game can definitely get pretty obscure, it's pretty clear what you have to do after the first ending (assuming you got it), considering what special brand unlocks.

@PKMudkipz Honestly, I forgot what the brand I got did. I got an ending after entering the "BR NULL" space pretty early in my first run and didn't really understand what any of it meant. The second run I just wanted to see all the floors, but after 210 floors it just booted me back to the start without any noticeable differences. I played through some of them again looking for something to do but at that point I just felt bored of the game and the same puzzles and had a bunch of notes written down about codes and riddles and felt completely lost.
There's quite a lot to try and discover even after a reset, but the next step should be starting a new run. Try saying "no" to the bat when you die instead of getting VOIDed and see what happens.
