For those who have finished Dark Fall 2: Lights Out (MAJOR SPOILERS) - 09/30/04 05:37 PM
Okay, there are major spoilers here and I'm just going into it. So again, if you haven't played the game and don't want to be spoiled, read no further!

I got to the end of this game last night and I really, really would have liked a little movie at the end showing the implications of Malakai's fnally getting back to his own time. He says, "My past crimes reversed..." does that mean that essentially the events of this game never happened? So what does that mean to the horror of Fetch Rock? Did it just not happen? Was the lighthouse even built? And if it wasn't, did Benjamin Parker ever go to Cornwall? But if he didn't, how did he send Malakai back? Are we dealing with a really complicated Grandfather Paradox here?
My husband posits that perhaps the time wherein Malakai was at Fetch Rock for 2 millenia still exists in some kind of bubble only in Malakai's memory. So when he goes back he carries the record of this strange alternate reality that never happened in the new timeline. But then...if Malakai was essentially sent back from 2090 BCE about five minutes after he got there, are Corbin and Maria and Vimal and all those people still gone? Or did they even exist? Because the DEOS installation as it was when Malakai was launched only existed because he was already there. So did he even go? Was the lighthouse ever built?
And did anyone else notice that Fang Rock was the exact shape of the probability curve on the data pad in Mitsuyo's room?
I just think about these things...
