Also mad spoilers here I think so scroll if you don’t want spoilers~~
This SHOULD have been the ending twist (this did NOT happen but man it should have—)
Abby gets bit, OR her and Ellie fall through the floor into a room with spores. Ellie doesn’t choke on the air, because she’s immune. Abby doesn’t either, because she is too. Thus making her father, the doctor, an equal hypocrite to Joel. Both parties accept this, cue some flashbacks, end game. BOOM. DO IT RIGHT NEXT TIME IT WAS JUST PLAIN... unsatisfying and felt like I wasted a bunch of hours.
I enjoyed the lesbian scenes, they just felt unnatural a bit, (speaking as a bisexual) and the trans boy was perfection.
I could even come to agree with Joel’s death since Abby lost her dad, IF it was discovered the doctor would sacrifice another child, but not his own immune Abby. (Not a thing again— I wish it was though.)
Alternative Idea on How it Could Have Been Done:
Part II- Abby’s gameplay, discovery of dead dad, slowly hint it was Joel’s fault etc etc, ending: she gets word of where Tommy is.
Part III- This game.
That way we actually liked her and didn’t laugh every time she died or try to jump off buildings on purpose. :p
Cheers to hoping a dev sees this ⭐️
