⚠️ THIS POST HAS HUGE SPOILERS FOR PASSWORD VN, READ WITH CAUTION ⚠️

Ok so let's talk about Password's ending and why I didn't liked it. But before that I want to clarify

I enjoyed the VN for the most part and my issue is with the true ending, the rest are ok.

I have nothing against Grizz and I think he did an amazing job.

This is my opinion, you can like the ending, you can love the ending, you can think the ending is better than any other VN out there.

I'm playing Syndicate when it's released and I'll continue to support Grizz during the development.

Roswell is a bitch

With that covered let's talk about my main issue with the true ending

Endings that go back to the beginning and basically nullify everything that happened

I always said that an ending that goes back to the beginning of the story is lazy, is basically a "everything was a dream" ending, even tho Dave retained his memories all the character development the rest of the crew went through is thrown into the garbage, and you'll never be able to convince me that at least one character though that Dave lost his shit, the way everyone goes along with "yeah so this happened, well it never happened but basically that's what would've happened" makes me question the intelligence of the group.

If you played Tyson's route, congratulations. If you played any of the other, though luck, Tyson is canonically Dave's boyfriend.

During my playthrough I played specifically 3 routes, Tyson, Dean and Sal, my favorite of course being Sal's route. So now imagine getting a bittersweet ending for the route you played, then you start playing the true ending and Dave goes like, huh I guess I want to fuck Tyson now. Remember, he retained his memories, so if he was dating Dean the suddenly change of heart to Tyson feels weird and forced.

Characters acting out of character

This is something that bugged me off even in the other endings. After Benson dies in any other route shortly after Oswin takes his own life, not being able to live without Benson, even tho killing himself would make the survival of the group less likely, in the ending he uh is sad I guess? But he rather accepts the fact that he died protecting the group and he's ok with that. And Tyson in the canon ending immediately confess his feelings to Dave when confronted, no need of 20+ days of character growth?

Roswell is a huge asshole and he doesn't deserves a redemption arc

Roswell joined the club of vn characters I can't stand and within reason, his plan although much more complex is basically this.

"Dave you have to survive or everyone else will die, and I'll make sure you live even if I have to kill everyone"

Nope, sorry, he was dying? Yeah don't care. He did it because he loves Dave? Yeah that's even more fucked up. He was alone all his life? Cry me a river. His plan is fucked up and he inflicted an eternity of trauma on Dave while betraying all of his friends in the process.

There we have it, I did not liked Password's ending, thank you for coming to my ted talk, next month I'll talk about why bad endings are important. Smash the like button, subscribe to my only fans, and I'll see you soon (probably not) ❤️

I wanted to draw my OCs interacting with my fandom blorbos and... I have made something so wonderfully cursed 🥺

They are definitely getting tired of Kizan's ramblings... though Buck doesn't seem to mind!

Holy Shit it's Dean Password!

[shutterafterdark]

Been too long since I've drawn any of the PASSWORD guys. Here's a quick sketch of Dave and Dean.

[nickshutter]

[ark-barkness]

Considering that Dave is constantly being wracked with the onslaught of perceiving multiple timeline outcomes (idc what Oz has to say. They are multiple timeliness. Not what ever he wants to call them. (Side note: I still love you oz lol.)) Of his friends dying or people he knows. His mental state is not the best among protagonists. Except chase, he's up there with Dave when it comes to have to deal with BULLSHIT. Whether it be people, or mental trauma. (I just hope there is a timeline where his dad is alive though. Tbh, I wouldn't be mad if that turns out to be a big twist in password where David comes out of hiding and lives with his son again. While meeting his son's new boyfriend uwu (preferably Tyson for lore and character reasons)

Mmmm interesting that you mention Chase, I think you just gave me an idea...

⚠️ Spoilers for Password ahead ⚠️

Well, you'll be happy to know that there's indeed a timeline where David is still alive. In day 21 (although is not specified is it's just a dream, but I don't think it is) we see this one where David is alive, Tyson is living with Dave's family and Dave is getting married to Sal(?) There's possible another one or two but this is the one I remember rn (tho I think there's one where Memphis killed Dave instead of David)

Now for your other theory...

Password - VN

Comecei a jogar outro Visual Novel há 2 dias, e estou simplesmente viciado! Estou extremamente impressionado com a qualidade, para um jogo indie, e o quão “inovador” e original em sua história ele é.

No jogo você é Dave, uma hiena que está terminando o colégio e, de alguma forma, fará uma viagem de férias para uma mansão com seu grupo de amigos, onde ficarão durante um mês; já que depois disso provavelmente cada um seguirá sua vida e outra oportunidade como essa será rara.

São 6 amigos (que acredito serem todos “possíveis husbandos”) os quais você pode escolher passar mais tempo nessa imensa e isolada mansão. Ela em si já apresenta um ar que faz Dave sentir certo desconforto ocasionalmente, além da presença de um cofre misterioso que tem apenas um painel para colocar alguma senha - algo não está certo.

Antes de chegar à parte contendo pequenos spoilers, TENHO que dizer que, novamente, estou apaixonado por um personagem fictício, e, pra variar, é o urso. Assim que fui baixar o jogo, já pude ver a presença de um urso nele, mas falei para mim mesmo que não sairia escolhendo ele logo de cara, e sim escolheria quem mais me acataria pela sua história/personalidade (e não apenas pela aparência).

Mas cara, justamente em relação ao meu post anterior, Dean (o urso) consegue ser um bom exemplo do que eu tentava explicar: ele já expressa interesse por você logo no começo do jogo (que é algo que me atrai nas pessoas, de alguma forma - como dito aqui), além de ser um tanto quanto “antiquado” no quesito namoro (ele ainda quer nos levar à um encontro e levar as coisas devagar), o que eu acho extremamente fofo!

(Isso não é tão no começo do jogo, mas não chega a ser spoiler. Eu simplesmente tive que “enquadrar” essa frase porque eu me DERRETI de amor quando li isso - “metahh” demais *¬*)

Simplesmente adorei a forma como a “direção de arte” está montada, com as artes dos personagens em 2d, mas os cenários sendo fotos reais, além da montagem com a trilha sonora de fundo e o texto; que me faz ficar realmente apreensivo em diversos momentos (acho muito incrível como um simples jogo que não passa basicamente de textos consegue mexer tanto com seus sentimentos).

Com certeza serei um patrão assim que estiver ganhando meu próprio dinheiro, acho muito legal poder auxiliar na produção de um produto tão bem feito e, principalmente, voltado para um público tão específico (e bem carente de conteúdos como este).

Certo, agora um pouco sobre as peculiaridades fantásticas do jogo.

O cofre funciona através de uma senha, que basicamente não tem como você saber qual seria ela, no entanto, conforme você prossegue no jogo, chega um momento em que você eventualmente chega num “bad ending”, que acaba por revelar uma senha; com esta senha, você pode voltar (no seu último save) à sua última visita ao cofre e inserí-la, o que fará com que Dave tenha flashbacks sobre o ocorrido, fazendo-o tomar decisões diferentes das da primeira vez. Isso é uma mecânica simplesmente GENIAL! 

Além de ser super interessante de se ver aquelas as “realidades alternativas” que ocorrem quando Dave passa pela mesma situação, só que com uma informação a mais; é bastante divertido você mesmo tentar descobrir qual seria a senha para prosseguir na história.

Uma coisa um pouco triste, no entanto, é o fato de que (pelo menos por enquanto, e pela minha experiência) você acaba sendo “forçado” a ver diversos bad endings, para que consiga avançar. Ainda que eu não tenha tanto problema com isso, eu não deixo de me sentir mal; e talvez pessoas mais “frágeis” possam levá-los como ‘gatilho’ ou algo do tipo.
