I just finished the game. I'm going to keep this in an update, rather than my review, because I want to keep the review spoiler-light. I am sure there is another ending, perhaps more. Quite possibly the ending i got was not the 'best' ending. But fuck. It meant the world to me.

I just finished the game. I'm going to keep this in an update, rather than my review, because I want to keep the review spoiler-light. I am sure there is another ending, perhaps more. Quite possibly the ending i got was not the 'best' ending. But fuck. It meant the world to me.
We get onto the spaceship, and Kay is chosen by the alien/angel in the same way her mother was. I get through the fights. LeBlanc is down and looking rough. I leave him on the balcony to continue ahead, hoping to find my brother. It is the first time in a long time I've been the only member of my party. I go through the rooms, the religious ramblings of the ceo's daughter's ghost - who seemed to be pawpaw - confirming that we are the last descendents of jesus. I reach the room, where my screaming brother is tied to a chair. When I try to save him, I am intercepted and told to sit down.
The progression up until now has been fairly linear, but I am a roleplayer first and foremost. My Kay wouldn't just sit as she is told. I backtrack to the balcony where Leblanc is, and find him gone. I hover over the scene. A small diving icon appears over the water.
As Kay hoists herself over the balcony, the blast-off sirens start blaring. Pawpaw emerges to scream in horror as I dive into the water. I hold myself down to stay clear of the explosion that kills my last surviving family member and the insane man who kept him hostage. Leblanc comes to pick me up in his boat. And I am not sorry. I am not sorry for leaving, for surviving and for surviving once again. Kay is the same age as me, and estranged for the same length of time that I have been. It doesn't matter if what they say is true, about you being the chosen one. It just doesn't matter.
Safe to say, I'm not going to try to get other endings myself. I'll look them up though, and process it all before I do my review. NORCO may just be my favourite game of all time, now.
