(And thus, 'saving' her, flowing more smoothly into that final scene with her memory.) And also being reminded of the tragedy of Mary-Ann's 'suicide note', the forgotten loft. It wasn't about taking Tom at his word (the bastard), but it was about putting together what I learned about the Ronan family over the course of the series, siding with Alyson's gut feeling which she had since the start of the investigation, and personally believing in the love of Mary-Ann. I chose to believe Tom this time, and with how things unfolded, it was as if a weight was lifted from my heart. It didn't sit well with me and I just had to restart my progress from the final confrontation.

(And it wasn't just because there seemed to be a disconnect and tonal difference between confirming Mary-Ann as attempting to commit a murder-suicide and the scene with the twins, tightly bonded, on the same evening, sharing a drink and a fond memory of Mary-Ann 'thanking' them for 'saving' her.) It began with the darker undertones in the acting and the scoring upon choosing the twins' memory-Mary-Ann threatening to kill Tyler-over Tom's testimony, and there was a pit forming in my stomach. I got the 'bad' ending at first-Alyson staying in the house-and just like Aly said, something just felt off. Because you can always choose to go on and be happy one day again. It's about how we can go on when bad things happen in our lifes. It's not about that we can believe whatever we want. What's important is how we deal with suffering, how we deal with the truth.' And I think that's the point of the game. I had many questions in my mind: 'Do I want Aly to be a murder?', 'Isn't it better for Tyler to had a mum who loved him than one who wants to kill him?', 'Do I want them to be quiet about their dad?' and so on.Īnd I must always think about a Lagertha quote from Vikings 'Life is about suffering. It's more like that life is complicated and there aren't simply black and white answers for some questions.įor me the last choice in the game was pretty hard to make. Originally posted by Otomon:It just kind of abruptly ends, I dont feel like there was much resolution and the final choice boils down to 'Oh well guess the truth doesnt matter so lets beleive whatever we want'.Īnd I don't think the message is that the truth doesn't matter.

Tell me why metacritic
