I just played through this game for about the fifth time, it's honestly such a great narrative and such a good fit for your target audience. My only question is, what do you deem the final ending? The one that makes the most sense and you had the most connection to when you finished that is?
This game is based on a linear short story that I wrote, and in that story, it ends like most of the paths here -- with Todd ultimately defeating Future Todd in the past, inhabiting his body and going to the future (er, present), then trying to save Clint. So I think that cluster of paths is the most "canon" in the sense that they best represent the overall events of the story.
But ultimately I don't think they're my favorite. My favorite ending is probably the one where Todd ends up with a girl who's NOT Angela, because one of the major themes of the story is how shallow and superficial Todd's attraction to Angela really is. I also like the ending in Africa where Angela uses the device, because trying to imagine the events of the story from her perspective is a lot more interesting to me (I also like the one where she encounters her future self within Future Todd's body).
