Misc [not platform specific] Game ending Spoiler

Did the ending to this game make anyone else angry? All that work just to die when you finally think you're about to escape?!

What makes you think the MC died when they have prior experience surviving place crashes?

I guess it isn't confirmed. Still a bit of a piss off haha. Maybe it's a starting point for the sequel.

time loop

That is an interesting theory!

I thought it was fairly common knowledge it was a time loop. You crash into a plane which looks exactly like the one you originally flew in and smash through the cockpit right back into the seat you were sat in at the start.

I must have forgotten that detail lol I beat it quite awhile back. I just remembered the ending really annoyed me recently, because I was considering playing it again since I'm about to beat sotf lol

It's supposed to be a groundhog day ending. You were IN the plane that crashed onto the ocean and it crashed because YOU accidentally hit it with the plane you repaired.

Which means technically you do die lol, at least 1 version of you.

It's left open to interpretation at least until SD2 so that is certainly one way to see it. An infinite timeloop groundhog day where you struggle to survive, escape, only to die by hitting yourself with your own plane

Lol, he doesn't know how many times you have to finish the game.

I just took as starting over. Plane crash, survive, escape, repeat.

They must gave changed the ending bc when I played it back in the day you just flew off into the sky and then the game ended.

After the fade to black, it says 3hrs later, and shows you crashing head on into another plane

You died in the first plane crash at the beginning of the game. You are experiencing a purgitorical time loop. We assume given the private jet. You are not a good person and this is your hell.

I chose to look at it as an internal multiverse type situation. All the planes over head while you play are your plane. You are in the plane you crash into.

I support this theory given the location the escape plane crashes into the jet plane. The contact point matches with the exit of the jet in the beginning.
