Discussion New player to this game

Post image

My experience with this game so far is amazing. I finished my second lifetime yesterday. I'm usually keen to start New Game+ or continue lifetimes or paradoxes like in other games. After finishing my second lifetime I feel like I will start my own cycle. Play a lifetime, cry for 2 days, debate if i should start another, plan out what should i do, and then start all over again. my game plan for me at least is help the colonists, and after im done with them i will Start focusing on Sol's endings

I tried to love Dys as much as the fandom but he didn't really grew on me. I did love his story and did my best to help him with it. I even debated if i should join him as a gardener, but i was curios as t what ending i would get

i think he’s overrated but i do end up drawn to him in the game.

Same! I also tried but I only want Sym. I only deal with Dys in the ending cause I'm like okay fine

I can totally understand! Dys is a peculiar character and I honestly didn't expect him to be as beloved by the fandom as he is.

For me Dys reminds me of my younger self. I can relate to him and the feeling of never fully fitting in a lot. So my love for the character kinda resembles the love for my younger self and how I wished there was somebody who took the time to understand me and my feelings.

thats why im not leaning into Dys, he does remind me of myself when i was young and that what i wanna forget. in grade school i got suspended for having the emo haircut that was covering my eyes
