I'm just vomiting out plurks this morning but I want to talk about the absolutely wild shit that is the Pyre Ending Song
Quinnfernal
Pyre is a game with an EXTREMELY fluid plot
Quinnfernal
you have eight or nine party members, and at the end of each of the cycles through the Rites you send one party member back out of exile to the Commonwealth
Quinnfernal
you can choose who to send each time, and the people you send and choices you make affect the end state of the world
Quinnfernal
who made it back home, who's stuck in Downside, what became of the Commonwealth and the rebellion
Quinnfernal
then after you go through the epilogues for all the game's characters
Quinnfernal
you get the Big Supergiant Game Song
Quinnfernal
but
Quinnfernal
the entire song is dynamically woven together from different possible lines and verses
Quinnfernal
based on what happened in your version of the story
Quinnfernal
so you don't just hear The Ending Song
Quinnfernal
you hear your Ending Song
Quinnfernal
it's unique to your run
Quinnfernal
you can't just go look up the song on youtube to listen to it again
Quinnfernal
that will be the end to someone else's story
Quinnfernal
even assuming you get the golden ending where you win every Liberation Rite and bloodlessly overthrow the Commonwealth
Quinnfernal
it's still going to be different based on which characters you sent back
Quinnfernal
meaning even that ending has 84 permutations
Quinnfernal
each with a different ending song
Snake-Kun
I'm thinking they recorded 2 ending songs
Snake-Kun
One in which everyone stayed in the downside and one in which everyone went to the commonwealth
Snake-Kun
And then they switched back and forth between them
Lightning Bolt
There's specific things that happen depending on who ends up in the same place together though, isn't there?

plus technically you can lose and end up with your opponents ascending
