It could be taken in many different ways; negative, positive, pogative, nesitive, etc. I personally see it depressing because the blood on the floor in the end credits, and maybe she placed the steps at the waaaaay beginning but we couldn’t see it yet because her effects, or her potentials, wants, and hope were still deep within her. Who knows.

I tend to dream a lot and I have dreams like hers every now and then for no reason so maybe what we’re seeing was a giant elaborate dream from beginning to end. Pretty much any reasoning/insights/guestimates can be twisted in. ヽ(ﾟ∀｡)ﾉ 

The “game system” is the only complaint; it’s not a completely feel-and-experience game, but it’s not completely search-and-solve game either. If it had concentrated one or the other I’d be tad more happier. JUST A TAD.

And yes I didn’t take the ending well at all. I already had a hard time letting go of her effect eggs because I get lost easily both virtual and real life so it took me a good while to collect them all. 

As a story teller, it really does make me think how much I should reveal about something and how much to hide. I definitely know some games/books where it works better not knowing, and some stories gets completely ruined by not knowing… creating anything is hard.
