Glitch in the ending

It has come to my attention that there is a bug in Story Mode of v1.0 which causes the wrong ending variation to trigger. Basically, a character who is supposed to have died survives to the final scene.

This would be a trivial problem to fix, but unfortunately my computer and all my data is in another state. I won't be able to address this until late spring. If anyone else has played to the end of Story Mode and was confused by a certain character's appearance, just pretend you didn't see her there ^^;

Huh. I thought it was some kind of poignant statement.

I think the version you played showed it correctly.

Normally Tyalinne dies near the end as you know, but if the player gets through Story Mode without any deaths (which I doubt anyone has done), during the cliff scene Brian is a little more uncertain whether or not she survived. Then after the final scene she is shown to have survived. A faulty switch is causing her to be shown in the final scene even when the player doesn't play a perfect game, which is inconsistent with Brian reporting her death shortly before.

The variation where she survives was something I added at the last moment as a player reward. The ending where she doesn't survive is the more poignant one, I think, and is the one players were supposed to see first.
