4/Endgame Consequences


Mephistopheles

Once the 3 in-game days are up and the player has used up all the available time, the screen changes and a divine, floating figure appears to them. They introduce themselves as Mephistopheles (based upon the satanic judging figure in Goethe's 'Faust') and they tell the player that they have actually been stuck in Purgatory for the last 3 days and that this figure has been watching from afar, judging the player's actions and moral choices. This has all been a test...

Consequences

Depending on who the player helped during their 3 days and how much good Karma they built up will impact what kind of ending they get. This Karma score is displayed on the screen as a green/red meter and shows the player their overall allegiance and which side of the dual nature of morality they are on. If the player is in the green, Mephistopheles will congratulate them on their choices, however if the player is in the red then they will be doomed to wander the land of Distant Shores forever...
