I'm loving the game so far, but I have to mention that the static noise for the hacker boss fight does not respond to the sound effect slider. The game is pretty loud by default, so I turned the volume down... and then I nearly had a heart attack from the sudden loud noise.
I also kinda wish that augments would tell you how much CPU they cost to install - if they do, I missed it. Other than that, I like it!
Hey, I just saw this (and spotted that you'd streamed it) -- thank you! It really means a lot to me to see other people enjoying the thing I made!
Apologies for the near-heart attack from the static! I added in sound effect sliders really late into development and apparently didn't catch everything that might have been affected by them.
Re the stuff you mentioned in the stream: you're right in that the main thing which affects the ending is whether or not you kill Emma and whether or not you open the station's comms. Once you've helped Emma wire the station, she'll carry out her plan to blow it and escape to Mars regardless of whether you escape with Paris or kill him.
And you were absolutely right: it is possible to get an ending in which Harold Phaiston gets what's coming to him -- although it takes a pretty circuitous route which I'd prefer not to entirely spoiler in the comments here :) The first step is to turn on Emma immediately after you've helped her wire the core to detonate; she'll drop what is arguably the most powerful secondary weapon in the game, even if not everybody recognises it as such.
(Oh, also, you can skip the ending credits / ending by hitting escape!)
Hi there! I'd really love to find all the endings . I got the weapon from finishing emma but do not know what to do next. I tried to "flaunt" it to paris at the violet area but ended detonating the ship. T.T "flaunted" it again at the docks area but instead detonated the ship. I'd like to know how to get to phaiston. I've been on it for soooooo long now. T.T couldn't find a walkthrough with all endings. hope you can help... Thanks!!
Hi, it's super flattering to hear from someone so long after putting the game out! To get through that door in the violet area, you need to activate the console in the room at the end of the red area where you and Emma fight the turret together. That will cycle the power and cause the doors to the secret, final area to open.
To kill Phaiston himself you need to go through a pretty convoluted path:
- cooperate with Emma in the red area to wire the core
- use the terminal to cycle the power in that room before you leave
- kill Emma immediately afterwards and take the detonator from her
- go back to the sealed door in the purple area, which will now be open
- in the area beyond, when you reach Paris, don't immediately murder him (this is possibly the most difficult step.) Disarm when he asks you to but keep the detonator equipped.
- join him on his escape pod
- during the ending sequence, Phaiston will now talk to the reporter from onboard the station instead of Paris. When he starts talking, press the button to activate the detonator.
