After that finale, I'm emotionally spent. I don't want to speak ill of the game, but I was crying by the end, half because of the emotional impact, and half because I was so fucking confused. Good time travel stories never reveal the full extent and rules of their time travel, but that last episode is impossible to follow. I was convinced that there was another entity controlling the latter half of the episode because none of Max's experiences made any fucking sense in terms of traditional time travel. How the fuck is she supposed to be in the memory void, or in a snowglobe, or in the frozen diner hearing everyone's thoughts? It's all just so incoherent, which is actually a great way of conveying Max's own frustration and confusion with the entire situation.
This will all take some time to process. I enjoyed it and I'm glad I played it, but I honestly don't understand what it is that I did.
I let Arcadia Bay get destroyed. Chloe lives on.
