December 15, 2014 at 9:20 pmWow, what a huge coincidence. I JUST beat this game not even 5 minutes ago (or at least got one of the endings). I was wondering why there were no choices in the game, and it wasn’t until I checked online just now after beating it that I realized that the phone messages WERE the choices, I thought that was just added flavor to the game.
So just a heads up to anyone who hasn’t beaten it: those emails you get are important in determining where the story goes.

December 15, 2014 at 9:47 pmI missed that sale due to a lack of funds. I wonder if they will repeat it right around Xmas.

December 16, 2014 at 2:47 pmYou really need to play it with a guide if you want to get the true ending.
You have to choose the correct options in the emails and there is no real indication what’s the correct choice other than trial and error.
