The Endless Empty

Thank you for your kind words and your fantastic fan art! I would love to share it in my social accounts, with your permission of course.
Yeah that skip is not intentional, I’ll fix it as soon as I get home.

As for merch I would love to make some but being that this is a independent game made by one person, merch seems like a too big of an investment for me. If you know any companies/artists that do small scale runs of pins and other merch I’m willing to check them out though.

Ok here is a guide on how to end with the businessman

There is a way to stay as the nothing through the whole game but that's a bit more complicated.

Okay, I'll check it!

*SPOILERS*


I suppose that's true. A happy ending or one with complete closure would seem out of place in a game like this.
I guess I just wasn't expecting the end to literally be right there, so I was kinda surprised, hahaha.
May I ask what determines what ending you get??
If possible, I'd still like to go back and try to find the other endings!

Either way, I absolutely loved this game. It was such an amazing experience! One I'll be left thinking about for a very long time.. I never thought any game would surpass my love of Gingiva, but boy did this take me by surprise! A wonderfully delightful surprise at that. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful game!

The ending is based on what character you are during the last chapter of the game. (As you noticed your player changes forms throughout the game). These changes are based on how you answer the multiple choice questions in each chapter and how you solve the puzzles (almost every puzzle in the game has multiple solutions). I can give you more details depending on what character you want to end with.

Hey VonSmore. I didn’t know Steam only lets you post if you have bought the game, that’s kinda lame. Check your private messages on here I sent you something.

About the ending you did nothing wrong, but I will try to explain my thinking

Big time spoilers below.

There are multiple endings that slightly change how the game finishes. Each one though has you in the final hallway and open the door to the endless/credits. None of the endings are good, yet none of them are particularly bad. I felt forcing in a happy end or full closure would betray the themes the game has delt with so far. Just think about what Starr said after weighing your heart when asked if you made it to heaven: “It was never up to me, it was your choice all along.”

The Endless Empty

Awesome thank you.

I've posted it on my facebook https://www.facebook.com/SugarySweetMachines/
and twitter https://twitter.com/ErikSheader

The game also has a steam community going if you would like to post your art there I would great appreciate it. https://steamcommunity.com/app/959410

And no worries rpgmaker.net can be confusing at first :)

With confidence, I can without a doubt say this game has most certainly taken my breath away.
It's filled a void in my soul I never even knew existed. To see something I longed for so dearly present in such an magnificent way.

I'm truly delighted to have come across this game.
(And really sad that I'm almost done with it, haha.)

Anyways, this game has had a BIG impact on me, so I drew some fanart for it!
It's nothing amazing ,but I tried my best!
(Especially since it took me a few hours, lol.)

(Hope the link worked, would suck if it didn't.. -m-,,)

Thanks for making such an amazing game!


Wow! I love it! Anxiety is so cute.

Would it be okay if I shared this on my game's social media accounts. I will be sure to leave a link to your deviantart.

DreamHack Atlanta annoucement (plus other dev updates!)

This project is looking great

The Endless Empty release trailer

Thank you!

Yeah the songs featured in the trailer are original material made for the game. Overall the soundtrack is really eclectic with funky stuff, pretty stuff and strange stuff. I will be releasing the soundtrack to download at the same time as the game.
