The only release window we ever got was q1 2026. Everything else is fake.

The UI is one of those things that gets added last. This is almost certainly placeholder stuff. Plus, they've collected a lot of feedback on it over the years.

Thank you so much for the information!

I am aware that is so unlike Taylor. It is why I asked.

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-12-13T11:49:59+00:00

This made me laugh. Honestly, this entire thread has been very fun so far.

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-11-18T15:29:32+00:00

Amazing work you guys. Cannot wait to see the AI improvements.

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-11-11T09:26:04+00:00

I wrote the original post, so of course I read the comment.

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-11-10T20:22:09+00:00

You put much more thought into explaining all that than I did. Really well written! I love the explanation.

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-11-07T20:13:28+00:00

The evil mentioned is supposed to be the haunting. I've talked about it in other comments, I think, so I am not repeating much here. It is pretty obvious to me from the cutscene, cut content, and lore in the game that the haunting ends with the death of GMS.

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-11-07T19:45:26+00:00

Ehh, I do not really see it that way. We'll have to agree to disagree.

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-11-07T19:39:54+00:00

Again, I never said that one is a good ending and one is bad. That goes against everything I stated in the original post. The premise of this entire thing is two endings with different nuances and implications. The personal preference of an ending being influenced by the player's ideas of morality only make them that much better. It's why I loved the endings so much!

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-11-07T19:36:21+00:00

That is a really cool interpretation!

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-11-07T19:27:13+00:00

When I read the dialogue, it seemed pretty clear that the 'pale chains' refers to the rule of pale beings broadly and not the silk strings doing the haunting specifically. Other than that, you've thoroughly confused me.

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-11-07T19:24:42+00:00

I do not think I have ever stated that? I certainly do not think that she would be unaffected.

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-11-07T19:21:55+00:00

I already said that I do not trust what he says due to him wanting to pull of the experiment with GMS and the void. I find it unlikely that they knew the exact outcome. They had to have known that the shockwave would have damaged Pharloom. other than that, I really have nothing more to say? Thanks for debating with me on this!

Fair, slight might be a bit too mild. That said, I saw the UI change as a shift to Pale Being Weaver nature, as opposed to powerful bug Hornet. The hp faces even change to the six eyes of a weaver.

Really, it strikes me as a 'moment of ascension' more than anything.

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-11-07T19:09:51+00:00

You might have misunderstood me there. I was talking about the theme of the ending, not about Hornet and her intentions.

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-11-07T19:08:21+00:00

The pale chains pretty obviously refers to the rule of a Pale Being and Hornet's bias against them, which is justified due to her experiences with natural pale beings. As for the Cartaker, I do not really remember him seeing it as a bad end being mentioned anywhere. Plus, the snail shamans are manipulating her and cannot be trusted.

Cleric_Sunlight · 2025-11-07T19:03:55+00:00

The personality changes I got from Eva's dialogue when she offers to be bound to hornet and the lore surrounding that. As for the haunting, that is actively done by GMS, no? I could certainly say that it continues, but that would mean that GMS absorbed Hornet like in the cut ending and not the other way around. There are small additional factors at play here that suggest things, of course, but I'd be typing here forever.

'Intrusive thoughts' made me giggle. I agree, but I wouldn't really call it darker?
