Gotta say, that was one of the most profound gaming experiences I've ever enjoyed. Yes, there were a few spots where I needed a walkthrough, or else I would have languished forever, but imo the game is better for it. It would have been far greater a sin for a game like this to be too straightforward - much of the mystery would have been lost.

And yeah, I agree @foolm0r0n , I'll probably replay this in several years when I've forgotten all of the specifics, just hoping that it'll hit like the first time (it won't!). That last loop had several moments where I noticed my arms covered in goosebumps, but I'd have to say my favorite was meeting Solanum. Talk about well designed payoff.

I have one major question, though

Did our entering the Eye of the Universe trigger the universe's heat death? Obviously, the entire universe dies and is created anew, but throughout the game, ours is the only star in its final stages of life, yet the whole freakin cosmos dies in the last few minutes of gameplay (signified by all those lights going out in that trippy forest), so I'm thinking our interaction or mere observation of the Eye had to be the catalyst (though since we exist in a different quantum state entirely by that point, I suppose it's possible that the last few minutes of gameplay span billions of years in game time).

Also holy shit there are multiple endings
