I've bought the game on Steam at the beginning of June, but wasn't really sure, if it is for me (not a real gamer). However, I like the cyberpunk genre and sociopolitical themes. So there I went.

The game did not disappoint at any point. The whole story and the Eye are captivating. The beautiful music, the wonderful illustrations, the characters... I got lost, submerged and felt homely, like my alter-ego cybernetic body, the Sleeper (I've played as the 'Operator').

After more than 100 cycles, my story on the Eye has taken its turn to finish. There were so many characters I fell in love with, as I am sure, many of you did, who played the game through all its cycles. I was submerged in the game in every cycle and the hours I've enjoyed playing this game.

"You will both hold things for each other, remind each other of the choices you made, remind each other why it is important to keep going despite the moment when it seems impossible. You will keep each other going."

While I found all the endings to be beautifully written and touching, my personal favorite was the greenhouse AI ending. I found it to be such a poetic way for the sleeper's mind to move on beyond the constraining, painful physical form and become part of something incredible that humans couldn't even begin to imagine, something truly larger than themselves.

What about you? What ending did you pick for your sleeper?
