am squealing on the inside with the new alle's ending (there was just multitudes of paintings of rutile! definitely not replaying just for the hug cutscene omgg- and then the consensual toxicness <insert the chef hand waving things when the food is good>(it was written that way, rightt, im not reading too much into it?))
calcite's ending add so much lore to rutile's backstory tho, i really love how the whole burial = respect thing gets tied back becuz rutile in the beginning was like, im too poor for that and calcite was like i gotchu dw and then u know, she dead
i always thought the og endings were ever so slightly unsatisfactory like i thought the ball ending was a bit extreme for rutile (maybe it just didnt read to me that she was that motivated but the motives were completely understandable- just reread the first devlog and noticed the detail that this was from alle's pov lmao) and the dead ending was well, she died; i felt like the updated endings and plot was really good though!
(also the art for the cutscenes are all so impeccable)
(also idk if gabriel was written to be punchable (just from my pov) but damn his characterization is just so good as well)
(also also tiny thingg: apparently you can walk out during the winter part of the game and outside is still showing to be fall, with pumpkin and cow there (also also also i love how you get to pet the cats!!!))
