oh, i found THE END!  spoilers far below this useful navigation tip/dev suggestion

One comment/suggestion thing that took me way too long to do since I didn't see a reason to actually do immediately, is that if you follow @'s lead use a new command you learn partway through the game involving the words "IGNORANCE" "CONFUSION" etc... (or whatever you like, just use the command given in that page), you get arrows on the list pages to go between them rather than typing so much.   

It might be nice if it automatically set the names as those on getting the relevant page?  Or more strongly wording "Please do this to make navigation easier" in-game




A few THE END and a few spoily questions, probably unanswerable

To see THE END i think the trigger was

general postgame speculation

The start text says that one person was identified, wonder who that is?  I guess martha's family, Tony Dauer sr, and John's wife/kid might be able to somehow identify them?  Though that seems like it would memetically erase them too, so that's interesting, though none of them seem to match up to the names in the final note file.

I'm also curious if John is supposed to have known Amelia as well, since he's a piano salesman in town, and/or how recently amelia was meme-urdered to the start of the story, if it was actually a long time ago  or just confusion.

oh i think the ending and the arrow suggestion i made possibly got pushed while i was typing this comment

The only person who got identified was John because he was not part of the chain, so he wasn't forgotten. Everyone else was erased from memory so they remained unidentified.

(Although, how this would work in reality is quite unclear since physical evidence like photos or dental records does not get erased, so the police should be able to find a match after some research... They just won't find anyone remembering them, but they should have been able to put a name to the bodies.)

I wish the 'introduction' could be seen again later. It helps show a bit why the lack of records may be more likely... the time period the game takes place in may be of relevance!
