Hello Charlotte 3 Afterword

• Hello. Thank you for playing Hello Charlotte.
• When I began to work on this project, I didn't think much of it. Just like I didn't think I had a future to begin with.
• But, somehow, over these three years of game development, things changed for the better.
• I was able to come in terms with myself, and found a place to belong.
• I still have to deal with a lot of things, but somehow, they became less heavy in my head.
• Somehow, they don't seem as hopeless anymore.
• The final game is a tribute to a certain someone who didn't get a chance to be born into this world.
• Someone I came to both love and hate.
• Someone I wish existed, anywhere, somewhere.
• ...
• In the end, Hello Charlotte was a personal story.
• In it, some events, namely deaths - were entirely metaphorical. Some were so very real.
• I can only hope that this story was able to reflect the feeling of desperation and hopelessness over losing someone...
• ...and the despair for the inability to bring them back no matter what.
• It's a feeling I've been living with for a long time.
• A feeling I constantly fear of experiencing in the future that's to come.
• If you enjoyed the final episode even a little, I'm glad. If you didn't, that's okay, too.
• If you bought this game and not pirated it, thank you for your support. Your input won't go to waste.
• Thank you for visiting the House. Let's meet again in the future. Sincerely, etherane.

TWC Post-Ending Afterword

• Thank you for playing "tomorrow won't come for those without ██████".
• It's a story that takes place in a future where humanity is plagued by external psychodiseases.
• A future where humanity abandoned false narratives in favor of so-called "absolute narratives".
• A future where transparency became valued above all else, and personal privacy has lost its importance to ensure safety of the community.
• A future of eroded imagination and bad short-term memory.
• It's a story of grief. For what's to come, and what's no longer here.
• But at the same time, it's a happy story. It's a story of no tomorrows.
• So let us put our Rosaries aside, and laugh.
• A wonderful futureless future awaits.

MRSIS Post-Ending Afterword

• Hello, -username-!

• You have finished Mr. Rainer's Solve-It Service.

• The themes I had in my head while writing the script were
• digital age, endlessness and hunger. While the main idea
• stayed roughly the same as when I started the project, the
• details underwent a lot of changes during the development
• process, and I'm happy with the end result. Finally I get to
• make a cute text ADV about small animals! It even has
• pictures! Is there anything technology is not capable of
• these days?!

• This story lacks HEINO's presence, but as I was writing the
• script, he made me understand that he's ultimately not
• interested in being around ÜLAR. Which is why he got up and
• left.

• The bits I had most fun with are the extras. Maybe next time
• I should make a game that consists entirely out of
• commercials and short pseudoeducational videos. The future of
• online entertainment is so exciting! The possibilities are
• endless! Perhaps it'd be a story about a character who can't
• lift a spoon no matter what they do, dropping it over and
• over again, all while streaming it live. The food keeps
• spilling all over the table, yet they frantically try lifting
• it again with an awkward laughter and distressed noises, only
• for them to dissolve into a neverending string of "Thank
• you"-s as the chatbox on the side explodes with an avalanche
• of reactions ranging from pitying to grateful. Then we all
• could truly laugh together.

• Thank you for reading until the end, and good luck with
• finding all the info collectibles if you haven't caught all
• of them yet.

• As for now, here's The Glossary, where you can find all the terms sprinkled thoughout the game.
