>>713296225also expanding on this, the main reason I lost interest in decoding the true ending is that I had already had to replay the game multiple times to do "branching" paths and find new information, and it felt like i was going to have to rerun the game even more times to get more information, and I was getting extremely sick of playing the same levels over and over again. Even if I used the level skip mechanics or took advantage of methods like walking into the HUD and swapping out the level to fast travel, it was still tedious as fuck redoing levels constantly just to get from point a to point b.
I really felt like I was at a point of "I know where I need to go but I don't care enough to spend the time to arrive at the location where I know the information is"
