I think I’m slowly coming around to the idea that to end the story within the tropes of a psychological horror as Alan says, a cliff hanger ending for both he and Saga was the only way to end this game and their story succinctly. The only way their “price” could be paid while also saving their loved ones and maybe themselves was to literally end the game, with no closure. They might be bound to the spiral, but they have fulfilled their roles and the story can finally conclude. Trust me I completely understand why someone would hate this ending but the game wears its tropes on its sleeve, reveling in them, and I respect it for that.
Regardless of my feelings on the ending, which will no doubt develop as time goes on, the final profiling of Alan was some of the smartest writing I’ve ever experienced in a game. It just kept giving, and giving.
