I really enjoyed it but I wanted more from the epilogue. What happened to the rest of the Contestants? What did they go on to do? How did they live life after the experience? MOST importantly what are Sean and Tiana's Punishments?

Loved it. I remember when I first discovered this game and played till 3 am in the morning to catch up. I guess I have to read about all the other endings now.

Four empty contestant pods near the door, then two full pods, then an empty pod.
The sponsor was there, and could have come in if they wanted.

This game is so damn deep and well constructed, but what is up with the "trust" or "standings" screen? I cannot tell which bar belongs to whom. Is this being tweaked for the next project?

So.. 7 Pods... 4 Contestants, 2 Additions. But knowing how many people are actually there, it makes the conclusion seem... like one more game.

@ExitCorners is his twitter handle - in case you are interested in progress updates. As of July 14, 2019, Percon estimated 1-2 more weeks before episode 29 is released.

None of you likely care, but I found a little secret in the timer of chapter 8: I actually tried to wait for the timer to completely count down only to stop at around 14:10:00 and change to a ¯\_(-_-)_/¯

SPOILERS!!! For those who haven't gotten to arc 2 yet.
I just realized an extra bit of detail/foreshadowing that shows just how far ahead Percon really is in this. In the puzzle with the weight distribution and limbs, Beth says something about "being easier if you didn't have to deal with the left arm" in terms of weight calculations, and Ink replied "It could be his left, we don't know which way he is facing." Then Rae gets angry that he couldn't figure it out, talking about "being abnormal." This is exactly what happens to Rae though; he is facing AWAY towards the computer terminal, and then loses his right arm, same as in the puzzle. His attitude and demeanor also change afterwards, as if he is "less than a full man" now because of it. Amazing story!

I made a discovery (kind of): There is some binary code under the text which is shown at the very end of chapter 28; it translates to: "The rest is up to you."

[spoilers] I felt there was something weird about Sean!!!! He just talked... wrong?? if that makes sense?? like his sudden decision with Liza was just... and he and Tiana being suddenly added to the game was too weird to be passed off as coincidence. Funny that everyone on the other end of the gemini has a part to play. Also, I love Sent literally so much. What a great villain!!!

I started playing it last year, every chapter was full of surprises. Later paradoxes stepped in. Every update contained yet another unpredictable plot twist. Just when you start believing that you understand what is happening, another chapter and another update shatters all your understanding. Mindblowing until the very final chapter. Great job, developers! It was a wonderful adventure into the mind! Cant wait until June 19. I wish I could tell more, but it is impossible without spoilers.

@syylone - or at least end the chapters with the chapter number we're finishing. Or grey out the chapters that we've played.

"Do you think you know who it was"? I have NO idea!! I have to pick someone since the game is forcing me but I really don't want to. I may just stall on the game just because I can't decide.

I would like to simultaneously thank and shame the developer for putting the image of procreational activities with books in my head. Thanks, now it's going to be stuck there.

I thought long and hard about whodunit, only to find that it doesn't matter what name I click because Ink doesn't listen to me.

I thought that you were going to make it continue on between chapters instead of reverting to the home screen each time?

-SPOILERS- Now I understand the whole game and its characters.
- Ink, literally, is a lone person who is "friends" with Sean.
- Rae, is a guy who dated Tiana, but after burning houses and such, including Liza's, Tiana and Rae broke up, and Tiana took the RN from him as a sorta "taste-of-your-own-medicine" kind of thing.
- Liza is a blind girl who's father helped in the making of the game and put her and her grandmother Beth in said game.
- Beth is Liza's Grandmother and has a huge garden. She realizes later that her son, Liza's father, was in on this and wrote two letters. One for Liza and one for Nolan, Liza's Father.
- Aether is a robot. Sent was the prototype for her as Sent loved Ink, and so did Aether.
- Sean and Tiana were in on this. They only put themselves in the game to get these people on the right track, which never happened, so they took things a bit...further.
That's basically it.

Fair point, but you have to remember this was best they had.
They had no clues, no motive, no evidence anyone did it, no big leads at all, so this was the best they could do.
With that in mind, I think it's pretty clever what they came up with.

Maybe it is true that it isn't super common, but it's still quite possible that we would add one just by how one would use a language in its written form, based on personal style and on the style of the game that the contestants are in. Using that as the ultimate big trap to bait out the mastermind sounds kinda lame to me.

I think the exit/corners trick with Tiana was actually really clever, true, most people would usee a dash or colon or something, but a slash? Really?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@kevc: If you look back at Ch21, when Ink is texting with Sent on the Gemini, Sent specifically gives him the name of the game with a slash. Every other time the game is mentioned before that message, it is done by someone speaking, so realistically, Ink should've been the only contestant who knew it had a slash in the name.
True, some of them could've used dashes, but using a slash as a separator for 2 joint words isn't very common.

That's a pretty weak excuse to fish someone out lol. If I heard the name of a game called "Exit Corners", and asked to write it down. I probably will also add something like a comma, hyphen, slash or something like that: maybe even a semi-colon. It's not surprising at all. Using that as the bait to lure out the big bad is pretty poor writing IMHO.
