>At first, I thought it was a joke, a cheeky edit by whoever had uploaded the video and was playing some SilvaGunner-esque prank on whoever thought this was the real ending, and I found another video hoping it would be a little more sensible. This was no prank. This...thing was the real ending to the game I had just completed. I was floored. I was shocked. I was in pure disbelief. I couldn't believe all the tension, all the fear, all the worldbuilding and character development that the game had built up over it's 20-hour runtime, culminated in something so lame and cheesy it makes the average Gmod video look like Shakespeare by comparison. I was insulted, saddened, and angered: I felt like I had been stabbed in the back. I took the game so damn seriously, expecting to be rewarded for my commitment, and this is how they treat me? This is the ending I get after 20 hours of hell? These were the thoughts that ran through my head as I closed the video. These were the thoughts that ran through my head as I read the video's comments, perused forums, and even learned the development history behind this atrocity of a conclusion. These were the thoughts that ran through my head as I began to type this. What I had just experienced almost invalidated everything I had been through. The amazing atmopshere, exciting gameplay, engrossing story: all of it was eradicated from my memory because of this one awful moment, this two-minute cutscene in a twenty-hour game.
