Kind of a profoundly bleak ending. The game sets up this vast narrative about the dangers of trying to conquer death, how it must be accepted, how we succumb to our worst impulses when trying to borrow too much from the addiction of life. And then the dead love interest is revived, dead-eyed promise that it was okay this time and we'll all return home happily. Its supposed to be a happy ending, but it feels sinister and uncanny. Upsetting. Wrong.

This game absolutely whips. I don't think about it often, but its one of my top five point and clicks whenever I remember it exists.
