I played the new build, got the bad ending and kinda got scolded for it? I don't know, I was thinking that if I was in that situation those were the choices I'd want to make out of anxiety, I actually went for it in my first run.
ironically i did go for Elliot again, but i think i got the Great Ending, by forcing Mason to accept the group invitation. next i'll run the same choices, but check on Jude!
