Play the last level again, and when time is reversed once you reach the princess, watch her actions.
**SPOILERS FOLLOW BUT YOU PROBABLY GUESSED THAT ALREADY**
The last sequence was really neat, but the final bits of story at the end I found kind of confusing. Especially the Tim being a child thing possibly with his mother being the princess (maybe)? Childhood regression? Oedipus complex? I have no idea.
I'm hoping the total completion of the game yields more answers (yes there is more to the game).
Personally I feel that the whole game is showing how we are all looking for our own princess and sometimes we take what we already have for granted. But the ending is by far the best part it not only shows you that for someone to save their princess they would have to do everything perfect (was i not the only one that had to rewind multiple times in the ending) but when you get her its not what you expect and can come back to try and destroy you.
one word to sum it up
amazing
I've been struggling with it a bit as well. I think that everything is a metaphor, even the princess. A metaphor for what? I have no idea.
One thing I did notice that is probably important is several alluisions to the Manhattan project are made in the epilogue. I think they are saying the giant flash that starts when you reach her window is analagous to the first atomic bomb blast. When the scientists first saw the monstrous results of all their work they were horrified, and the same can be said of Timbo. He realized for the first time that he was a monster. Or something.
It's a tough nut to crack indeed, and I'm not the best at this kind of stuff.
Also, there are hidden texts in the epilogue. If you leave the red book open and stand in the areas where you hear a woman's voice singing the text changes. And the green books only serve the purpose of closing the red books.
Follow the End's advice, I could tell you what happen that made me cry but you have to find out by yourself.
I watched the princess and I'm still confused. Someone explain the ending to me :(
