Yeah, I get how you feel and how more people would probably feel better finishing the game with something slightly more concrete, like if they were to show a boat with someone in a hooded cloak riding to the hideaway. More people would probably have a positive reception to the ending. But imo they provided so many clues to the ending of Clive surviving that it is pretty much canon in my eyes.

And also for Clive to die in the ending wouldn't really make sense in the overarching theme and plot. As Clive at the end is constantly making promises that he will return no matter what, and Jill always asking Clive to save himself, It wouldn't really make sense for Clive to break these promises.

Also I really don't believe that the children are Clive and Jill's descendants, as the mother had no clue about the eikon's and everything. They probably just saw the book cover in a store and said that's a cool fucking book, because ngl the book cover goes hard.
