For real. Both endings just hit so hard.

Yeah I feel like the "true ending" hit the hardest, but the other had me pondering what ifs for daays.

Francois ending

Yeah, that's considered the true ending, and the likely direction they will continue the universe with the painters vs writers etc..

Not just the endings, the whole game was like this for me. The dialogue, story and voice acting really sold it.

Should not be forgotten or understated how good the story was, modern classic

“Losing a rock is better than never having a rock.”

As a lifelong Victor Hugo fan, I ate this game up, cried just about every time they wanted me to, and replayed until I got level 33 on all my pictos. Admittedly it was the music that made me stay, but the characters pulled me in, and the themes are 100% humanistic. This game made people ask questions, and it made them choose a side—and I think it was on purpose that neither choice is perfect, and that it intentionally asks us to disagree with each other. Discourse is human. Misunderstanding will always beget war, whether the front is as large as an ocean or as small as a broken home. And when one falls… we continue.

I went unknowingly for the “worse” ending first, it seemed upbeat, then odd, then those last two or three seconds were like “oh holy shit…”

Or the end credits w/ Judy during Cyberpunk. Either/or.

Surprised this one isn't higher up. No matter what you choose, the ending hits like a truck
