Okay, I beat Braid, but, I feel retarded, it didn't click at the end. But, I want to figure it out by myself, so can someone somehow HINT to me, one step at a time, towards figuring it out? Like, I don't know how, maybe like emphasize on a book in there or something that happens to clue me into putting it all together? Know what I'm trying to say here? But easy now, just a little small vague piece at a time, I want to figure it out without as much information as I can get away with at first.

Hey you posted this on Gamefaqs too right?

Anyway, I'd say don't read any so called 'explanations' online, because the story is open to interpretation, and you'll kill it's subtlety if you read those.

Read this.
It's the script for the game, and reading it in that straightforward way should help you get some idea of the story.

I don't know if this actually happened, but from my interpretation:
-Maybe a way to specific hint ahead-

The cake is a lie.

(Sorry if it is a way too specific hint, I'm not a qualified English teacher. :D)

Sure did, but the board was deleted, so I didn't get to check out any posts made in there --- if there were any. And I HAVE read that it is indeed open to interpretation, but I figured there was still at least some base for a general idea that would click at the end, but just didn't happen with me. And I definitely didn't find the script, I think that will actually help a lot, thanks! I'll give it a read-through and see if I can put some things together.

Ehh, still a little lost, but, wasn't there "hidden" text? I remember I read a couple in the epilogue, and I missed one of them, wasn't sure if there were more. Don't they add to the story and help to interpret it?
