While I can see how that idea works incredibly well with the themes of the game, and I don’t think the game was ever going to get a traditionally satisfying conclusion… there’s a lot of cut content lying around in the files, on top of the “phantom episode” stuff from the collector’s disk that was included in the special edition that documents the work in progress next chapter they had to cut.

Hideous Kojambles is a great auteur, but they idea that all of that was just a front to further emphasize the themes doesn’t ring true to me.
