i've hit a roadblock with the force quit boxes (late game spoilers): i cant get any of them open. I thought the number zero gives you in the "Q's robot head falls off" ending would open the Q box but it doesn't. I think I know what D's box is supposed to be (Phi's brooch and that thing Diana wears in her head?) but I don't know the name of the second thing. C box I have no clue.

is there a specific fragment i didn't pay enough attention to? i also haven't figured out who killed mira or gotten the fourth ending in the 3 way standoff that isnt kill mira/eric/nobody

you're off track on most of the force quit stuff. I can't really tell without a flowchart but the most important thing about the who killed mira choice is listening to what eric says right before it

Thanks, I finally figured out the Eric thing. Also apparently i unlocked the third outcome of the AB game without noticing so I've got more to see still that'll probably lead me to the right answers

I'm glad they used back to the future to explain a major mechanic in the game, lol

You might have all the info required for the "Mother's Memento" password already but it requires some pretty specific, non-obvious wording and honestly stood out as one of the weaker points of the game for me. Off the top of my head I think it's BLUEBIRD BROOCH but there might be a space between "BLUE" and "BIRD" -- the "Twin's Birthday" one should be obvious when you get the relevant ending. Also it's very possible that I'm confusing the force quit box passwords with the truth door ones because I was in a hosed up haze when I finished the game so apologies in advance if the info contained in this post is totally inaccurate and useless

Oh wait ok looking at the second part of your spoiler I can maybe help you along. With regard to "who killed Mira" you can either let the timer run out or type something along the lines of "I dont know" to pacify Eric. As far as the fourth outcome in the Q-branch standoff section you'll fill out that ending by typing in the name of a character who you won't learn exists until late in the game. It's someone important and it will probably be pretty obvious to you once they're introduced in the story. If you really really want me to I can tell you the name but it's worth figuring out naturally because that ending is one of my favorite moments in the entire game

I actually just got through the ending that gave me the required information for both of those things and holy poo poo.

i think i got the perceptive ending before i was supposed to put it together because i followed the advice on the last page and checked the status screen during the twins ending and figured it out. this game is loving amazing

Oh actually I've only seen two. crossbow (the Mira reveal) and biohazard symbol? I think that's the D team one where Diana (who I'm almost positive is pre-robot Luna) sent the VLR radio Message about radical-6

The Q fragment where Eric asks you who killed Mira got spoiled for me but I probably never would have figured out the answer and that response seems extremely antithetical to the design of these games, kinda lame IMO.

Saying "I don't know" but I guess letting the time run down would have made more sense and is a choice in other decisions, I should have tried that.

The D team stuff where Diana and Sigma hang out and have twins is incredible and probably the best directing in the game's scenes that I've seen so far

Not the ending really but the fragment where a Qbot shows up to kill C team. Not knowing they were just cleaners for zero would have me freaked me out and I thought Q was a maniac or something

Lol I saw the "Perceptive Ending". Good poo poo, also kind of confirms my idea for the structural gimmick of the whole game. Unless it's just a gag. It makes complete sense considering how every other game in the series has been built though. Tomorrow I'm going to finish this, or maybe Wednesday. I have the key for the Truth Door now and I imagine it's going to be a domino effect of unlocking stuff, although I don't even really know what unlocked the Twin ending, unless it's just "see every other possible ending and then we will drop the Delta reveal

That ending is one of my favorite parts of the game and I stumbled on it really early by just going back to that scene and typing in new names every time they popped up in the story. Went back there after the Twins ending and yup sure enough that was the ticket -- really really good poo poo
