Developer Updates
Quick update: I am currently writing a non-interactive novel titled “Reality Tunnels” that will serve as a direct sequel to both Thousand Dollar Soul and God’s Assassin, tying these two stories together. This novel is at least a few years away from completion (it’ll probably be longer than all paths from both games combined), but the main events are all planned out, and I’m starting on the first draft now. It will be free to read once finished. For the purposes of Reality Tunnels, Ending #29 in Thousand Dollar Soul is considered the “real” ending. You can read a brief summary of the trilogy’s timeline at reality-tunnels.com. Cheers!

the way the story is revealed is really a work of art. on my first play through i ended up with one of the ''worse'' endings and was left unfulfilled with the story. but once i went back and changed my actions bits of information become were revealed that suddenly had me going back through every action trying to find out more. this game does not only tell the story in a way that is pure genius. as you go back changing what you did it really makes you question the previous actions you took and the negative way you can effect people 5/5 recommend completing all endings to understand how great this is

I know it's April Fools but I want to believe. Greg'd be an improvement on a lot of the other dudes on the Internet in that he isn't wearing a fedora and doesn't seem to hate women.
