    I think we lost. The ending reminds me of Cave Story's bad end far more than I'd like.

    Not to mention that so many questions were left unanswered. So many. Even after we got Weaver to ask about some of them. Even then so many things were left mystery forever.

    We escaped, but so many other lives were sacrificed. And Ace/Dummy still lives. I wouldn't call that "super good": Maybe "meh", at best. And yeah, I believe we could have ended it better.

    >Of course there's questions left unanswered, not everything is meant to be known.

    I don't know about you, but when a main character has an amnesia, I'm expecting to learn all about his or her past at some point. All Weaver showed was a little teaser that "Hey, Ruby and Tom might have had something going on in the past", and then nothing more. That's what bugged me the most here.

    >Staying around to learn more would more than likely have just gotten us killed.

    At that point, yes. But we could have done certain things differently much earlier, I'm sure.

    Synx's creatures are very, very different from Sergals.

    Sergals are an organized predatory race. Synx monsters are lone predators that strike only when you have your back turned, because they're so weak if they did anything else you could turn around and kill them before they cut your nerves with their claws.

    Dealing with them depends largely on skill and luck.

    Somebody has taken to spamming the board with that fluffy picture of Rain, but that's about it for sergals these days. There'll be a legit thread soon hopefully.

    Doobies are a hilarious parody of every new race /tg/ has done, from cutebolds to sergals to corgis. There's already ideas being thrown around like that doobies don't know how to give birth and they refer to their tails as their "prehensile sphincter cheek."

    The only person with information about the characters' pasts was Filbert, and we were initially uncooperative (which led to him becoming hostile, not unlike Tom but a bit more crazy) and antagonistic. Then we killed him.

    Originally there was a planned set-piece with Fil trying to prevent Tom and Ruby from leaving by holding the information about their pasts over them. It ended up not happening due to dismemberment.

    Yes, I heard of that. It wouldn't've stopped Weaver from telling us a thing or two, however. And in my book, amnesia is always an important plot point, and not telling stuff about important character's past is nothing short of very bad DMing and a huge stain in an otherwise awesome adventure. You may disagree with me, of course.

    Call me a romantic, but I'd've loved to know exactly what kind of relationship Ruby and Tom shared before bad things happened, and during those earlier escape attempts - and how many times he fell for her, only to be caught and forget everything. And I also like the idea that after they fled the influence of the bad thing, their memories could now slowly return. Happy ending.

    Your average fa/tg/uy could beat one in a straight up fight.

    Which is why they eat babies. Babies can't push them over and stomp on their throat.

    They're almost like the opposite of Sergals really. Sergals are physically powerful but about as bright as a teenage human. Synx are clever but could get their asses kicked by a teenage human.

    We couldn't have done anything to zombie hell. That place was pretty fucked up, nothing really left to do.

    Explosions apparently lead to perma-death. Not enough body to move to a coffin to regenerate. Could have offed any number of people. I'm also pretty sure people would start staying dead after we kill Ace, since he was moving them to the coffins.

    No, that's not it.

    There were two parts to the treatment. The medication(substance scraped from STRANGE ORGANIC GROWTHS) and the coffins. Without both you can't resurrect someone.

    The medication? HAS TO BE TAKEN REGULARLY to keep working. If you are off it long enough.. goodbye crazy zombie powers.

    Even then, you have to get the body(or what is left of it) to a coffin within a specific time period after death. You can't wait a long time then stick them in.

    It was a survival horror adventure.

    You SERIOUSLY expect all to just be revealed? Explaining absolutely everything is a perfect way to ruin the mystery and fun about the entire thing.

    What the fuck did you think it was about? We were never playing super heroes or Sherlock Fucking Holmes. It wasn't about being so incredibly badass and saving the world.

    It was SURVIVING HORRORS UNIMAGINABLE. SURVIVING AGAINST THE ODDS.

    FUCK HELL. SURVIVAL HORROR.

    The main characters COULD have discovered their pasts, but the path we chose didn't. What's more, given what we know, discovering their pasts would have precluded escape and led only to the immediate forgetting of said pasts.

    >It's a bad end in any video game where it's presented.

    A little.

    I don't understand the mentality. We did accomplish a whole lot. We got out with everyone that could still be saved. We learned as much as we actually could about what happened there.

    Hell, we DID learn everything that happened. Just because it wasn't laid out in a A to B to C format for us doesn't mean we don't know. The only thing we lack were EXACT day to day details, and that would be pointless.

    1pm: Ruby took a shit

    1:05pm: Ruby did not wash her hands upon exiting the bathroom

    There is a year of shit that happened.. sure.. but that is really self explanatory. We were given as much detail as WE NEEDED. We kept trying to escape, got killed, and regenerated. Cycle repeated.

    Really, I don't know what they expect.

    I like the two Tom switch Weaver pulled. Turns out the Tom being warned about in all the (year old) documentation was the one we were already with.

    Funny thing is.. we drew the right conclusions anyway. Nook was pretty god damn dangerous and insane. If we had interpreted it right the first time (and going back.. it is obvious we all fooled ourselves.. we didn't want to think our kitty was evil and overlooked the obvious) we probably would have been killed by trusting the wrong people.

    We know quite a lot.

    All the test subjects were blind for one reason or another. Ruby was BORN with her condition. Each subject agreed to be there in hopes of having sight. No one was kidnapped or fooled into coming. We can guess a lot about how Ruby's life was before the facility just from these facts. What do they want? Ruby's parent's names and occupation? A family tree? Other stupid useless bullshit like when she went to the bathroom each day?

    As for the facility itself, we know the exact chain of events that lead to the situation we found ourselves in. We put it together from all the evidence. We know PRECISELY what went on.

    She was a blind rabbit who was admitted to the glen for treatment. Does the rest of her life really matter at all? No, not really. Her life story is unimportant.

    >We didn't figure out exactly what the corruption was.
    Yes, we did. Its the red flesh Red found underneath the facility while they were digging it. Its some elder thing that Weaver decided would be best not to name.

    >We didn't learn what the eye is for.
    It sees the elder thing.

    >We didn't find out if Red is truly dead.
    He is, you just have to piece bits together to find this out. 1) The treatment needs to be taken regularly, and you don't need to eat while treated. 2) Red had a box of cereal he'd been eating - the treatment wore off. 3) Even if he was still on the treatment, Ace would need to put him in a locker within a short time. It would take him maybe a full day to dig Red out of the rubble, and within maybe an hour he was already chasing Tom and Ruby. Tl;dr: There is no possible way for Red to survive. He killed himself for seriously.

    >We didn't figure out who everyone really is.
    We knew all their names, what more is there to know? Their subject numbers? Weaver released a list of those somewhere; its probably on the wiki.

    They were two lost and confused individuals up against a fucking ELDRITCH HORROR, of course they weren't going to defeat the damn thing with a conveniently-placed rocket launcher or some horseshit.
    We learn very little about their old lives, but it's implied that their old lives were'nt particularly interesting to begin with. They were ordinary people, and they were blind. There are some clues to their past (Ruby and Tom were romantically involved) which are dropped here and there, but they're insights into the past, not teasing and unfinished tidbits.
    The goal from the beginning was to just ESCAPE and SURVIVE which was quite a challenge considering everything that had happened. We succeeded there, and that's an accomplishment.

    Essentially, what you're asking for is a Hollywood ending where two ordinary people defeat an ancient and supremely powerful evil entity by sheer pluck and rescue everybody. This story does not work that way.
    Your other complaint seems to be that we weren't at some point sat down by Ace or some other character while they threw plot at us. The unknown was one of the biggest central themes of RQ and the point is that, like Ruby and Tom, we only know what we can piece together.

    But in the end, all of it -- their past lives, the truth behind the evil, the purpose of the infection -- none of it MATTERS, because they got out alive.
    Their past lives don't matter anymore. They don't remember them, they don't mean anything. Their old selves are dead.
    All that matters now is what lies ahead. All that matters is their new lives together.

    No, it isn't.

    In fact, without advance knowledge of the massive timeskip, it would be criminally stupid to assume that Tom(cat) was #6.

    YES. There was a note stating that #6 was moved to the brig.

    HOWEVER: There was another note at a later date stating that #6 was moved FROM the Brig to Upper Lab B. It isn't even possible for the notes to have been separated by the timeskip due to timing issues with the 'Spade' symbol's appearance.

    It was not a twist that could have been seen coming before the information we didn't have was handed out, and the only way to come to the correct conclusion with the information given would be to be a fucking moron who got lucky.

    Further, logic dictates that, even WITH Tom being the 'wrong' Tom, we made the right choice. #6 was moved from the brig to Lab B because he was too dangerous and needed to be isolated. The fact that Tom was in the Brig and Nook was in Lab B when we found them means that, at the time of the actual game, Nook was more dangerous than Tom (so choosing between the 'Toms' we still landed on the right one).

    You know, I think we really got the best ending. Because, in case you're not familiar with lovecraftian horror stories, the characters usually end up losing their sanity, lives and/or souls.

    You CAN'T win a fight against an abobination from beyond time and space. They're lucky to be alive and with their psyche relatively unharmed.

    Also, they don't need to know their past. Their past probably sucks. They had no family and friends, and were desperate enough to sign into a unethical experimental center to cure their blindness.

    They probably were about to kill themselves before being admitted in the Metal Glen.

    You mean the first time Tom kissed her? There is a popular theory going around that its because she didn't want to hurt him, and the LAST time they kissed she scalpel'd his face off. She probably backed off more from subconscious fear/nervousness than anything.

    That's one of the real tragedies of the story. Their memory may never return.
    It's implied in some cases that it MIGHT, though: Ruby has a flashback to when she murdered Stitches, Tom's crush on Ruby suggests he subconsciously remembers their feelings for each other, some of the residents remember each other's names even after dying.

    But I agree, it's definitely one of the more depressing aspects of the story. They may never remember. Their ENTIRE LIVES up to that point would be lost. I know if I forgot my entire life up to this moment, I'd lose a lot.

    I dislike it because it sucks so much for the characters, not because it's a bad plot element. I think it does a good job of conveying the aura of misery and hopelessness the plot provides overall. However, I also think that, in a way, it gives all the more value to their escape.
    Their old lives are gone. All they can do now is make the most of their new ones.

    Weaver was shocked we didn't figure it out, and reviewing the notes we found more objectively reveals the truth. By the time we found it we were too attached to Tom to admit he could be bad. You have to purposefully misinterpret the early notes to reach the conclusion we did.

    I myself went "wait.. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" when we found those notes concerning the subject being moved about, but I immediately forced the thought out of my head because I couldn't stand the idea of Tom being dangerous to be around. I wasn't the only one to do so, either.

    I always got the impression that Tom had read that particular note and downplayed them specifically so we wouldn't go through each one. That the story (e.g. Weaver's posts) specifically downplayed the importance of reading the notes because Tom, who was holding them, did the same.

    Then again I've just got a thing for authors who use character influence on a meta level. Even simple stuff like unreliable narrators.

    >Weaver was shocked we didn't figure it out,

    No, he was shocked that we didn't even question the 'there are two toms?' thing and immediately went to 'this motherfucker is crazy.'

    >You have to purposefully misinterpret the early notes to reach the conclusion we did.


    No, No you FUCKING don't. That's my entire point here.

    People like to point out the HOLY FUCK LOOK THERE'S A NOTE THAT #6 WAS MOVED TO THE BRIG AND THAT'S WHERE WE FOUND TOM IT WAS SOooooooooooooooo OBVIOUS, but those people are goddamned retards who weren't paying attention to the dates.

    There were two notes concerning the movement of #6. The first eas when 6 was moved to the Brig. Another note, dated LATER, stated that #6 was moved to Lab B due to being to dangerous. Without the year of undocumented time including the decision to relocate Tom BACK to the Brig, the early notes actually make it roughly IMPOSSIBLE for Tom to have been #6. And, at the time, we had no evidence of the massive timeskip.

    WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ALL ALONG is a fucking stupid stance made by people attributing evidence that we didn't even HAVE until later (which even then is specious, as it only allows the CHANCE for Tom to have been moved back to the brig, since we never actually found any documentation of the transfer) to our earlier theories. At the time that morons like to claim that we should have known Tom was 6, anyone concluding Tom was 6 would've been functionally retarded and only having been a lucky guesser.

    I still don't follow how that would've worked.
    Without the year long gap, those notes led us to logically conclude that "Subject 6" was in "Upper Lab B."

    Tom being moved BACK to the brig implies another swap that was never mentioned.

    I think what Weaver was surprised about was that we didn't consider it after he mentioned #6 was in the videos.

    Those notes earlier on definitely implied that #6 was in Lab B.

    >I always got the impression that Tom had read that particular note and downplayed them specifically so we wouldn't go through each one. That the story (e.g. Weaver's posts) specifically downplayed the importance of reading the notes because Tom, who was holding them, did the same.

    That was possible, but he was also specifically still holding the handful of notes that we only ever read 'some of.' It's hard to say for certain whether or not Tom actually knew who he was by the end.

    Though Tom discovering that he was actually #6 would provide a cute reasoning for his decision to trust Ruby again.

    Current theory is that he was functioning as a contaminant in the water supply, possibly allowing the 'medicine' part of the cure to be spread throughout.

    Since the characters are only mutating when they are A: Alive and B: Receiving the treatment, people need to be kept on their medication. If someone is wandering around the facility long enough for it to wear off, they're going to need to start eating/drinking again (Red was eating the cereal, for example, despite the 'cure' making it so that people no longer needed to eat). If they are drinking the water tainted by Jay, that MAY serve as a means of reintroducing the 'cure' to them so that they will continue to mutate according to the malevolent entity's design.

    I get what you're saying. It's really depressing to think that this could happen and not be considered a bad end.
    But for all the shit that happened to them, lost memories included, I think the ending is really a happy one.
    For one, Tom and Ruby (and Jay?) are happy just to be alive and be together. Ruby and Tom have obviously grown closer and if Ruby didn't care about Tom to begin with -- which she may have anyway -- she certainly does now. They've put their past behind them and though that may be a high price for their freedom, they're fine with it, because they have so much hope for the future. Their lives together are what matter now. I for one think that's an incredibly happy note, especially contrasted to the aura of gloom and utter hopelessness suffocating most of the story.
    And secondly, Ruby and Tom may yet regain their memory. It's implied subtly and through inference, which is how most of the story is conveyed since, short of Bella, we never had anyone just sit us down and tell us the facts. But it's still implied, and perhaps the longer they're away from the influence of that dark place, the longer they're clean of the infection, the more they'll return to normal. So there may be hope of that yet.

    Considering they rode off into the sunset with a third survivor in tow and shared a bottle of champagne, I'd say it was a damned cheerful ending.
    Especially since Weaver admitted that if only one of them had survived, the last panel was them going to be sadly pouring themselves some champagne, alone.

    A thought occurs.
    Weaver also made that World Eater campaign, set in a worldgen he'd come up with.
    In the mythology of that worldgen, there is a Fallen God named Perogra. Perogra is specifically a god of forbidden knowledge -- that which man was never meant to know -- and due to Her mythos, has heavy ties to mutation.
    The Fallen God's symbol is also strangely familiar.

    It was? I can't for the life of me remember when though.

    Power turned the power on in the other room (hurhur)

    Chaos opened the Z-Hatch

    Life turned the console in the starting room on...

    ...I just can't remember the 4th.

    Destruction opened the aquarium door in the starting room. The plaque in the aquarium which originally had the room number on it later bore the destruction symbol instead.
    Opening it inevitably led us to the bomb Red had planted.

    Oh, right, there it was. That's been bothering me for a time.

    Heh, the bomb. The symbols were definitely a good way to keep track of what did what.

    The ending also implied that the other prisoners may yet escape, since Daisy and Stitches aren't permanently dead, they may yet have another adventure and escape like Tom and Ruby did.
