Thank you so much for the review! You're not missing much from the post-game, it's just a vague sequel hook (and anything there would end up being clearly repeated in the sequel)

I really love your analysis here, it hit exactly what I was going for - even a few things I wasn't consciously thinking about but make so much sense (like the contrast between the genuine freedom of Jubilee and the self-serving freedom of the demons). I questioned myself a lot over whether it was too heavy-handed, too gratuitously grim at times, or conversely too 'power of friendship' cliche, so I'm glad to hear you felt it wasn't too heavy-handed.

In re: Babylon's propaganda being too true - you've actually touched on something here I felt too. Part of the reason why it's such a hero-centric narrative is just practicality - it's easier to deal with a small cast, it fits the RPG fantasy, and I found it a tad easier to avoid the maudlin sentimentality of 'every single character teams up and uses the power of friendship to fight the bad guys' - but you're right, I did feel it ends up sort've... overlooking the power of ordinary people to fight back?

I guess thematically I would say the big flashy magic powers represent you know, the kind of decisive salvation only God can bring, and it's only once that happens (i.e. after the game) that people have the genuine freedom to act for themselves, to rebuild, to choose good. But I definitely did feel unsure how to approach this, while maintaining the style/fantasy/pacing of the game, so I get what you're saying.

I didn't realise the Nineveh bug was a problem whoops, I'll have a look. Getting the ending sequence to not override the other party members with Micah's face was such a pain for some reason, I thought it was gone LOL. Thanks for the heads up! And I'm glad you enjoyed the ending! Yeah it does become a bit cliched, but I felt it was important to hammer home the fundamental heart of the demons was accepting the lies - of scarcity, safety, security etc.

I actually didn't think of an answer to who drags Micah into the Nightmare. I suppose you could ultimately just blame it on God, but I guess I assumed it was just a malfunction. Every lie has its holes, every idyllic society has its cracks. No matter how much you whitewash a tomb, it still stinks of death. So yeah, there's no specific secret about who was responsible.

Thank you so much for playing and for the review!
