![]() ![]() I mean, the temporal tear has been fixed so she can't really be spontaneously ported back. In my opinion it's not actually a loop back, but a fast forward. You can't change anything.", so Michael living simply means she moved on to another timeline.Īll doppelgangers are versions of Alex who decided to sacrifice themselves and ended up in limbo alongside Anna and submarine crew.įinally I have a theory about that final loop. As the ghosts say you can't actually change the past "No. In our particular timeline Michael died but in others there's a slight difference, like Alex telling him to stay. This means that this story has been played out in all possible scenarios across all existing planes of existence. For some evidence on this: during Aldler house trials Clarissa wants you to find a knot and when you do she refers to it 'eternal recurrence' also in Adler house ghost-controlled Clarissa says "We've watched the universe's conception fly to its demise over and over and over again" about Maggie they say "We've. Unlike the classical theory though which portrays timeline as a single circle in Oxenfree it's multiple recurring cirles or knot parallel universes and each of them endlessly repeating themselves. The game is based on the concept of "eternal recurrence", which generally assumes that the world will re-occur infinite amount of times in a fashion that's similar, but not identical. This is a very vague statement which doesn't really confirm these are actually time loops (they kind of make fun of Alex for calling it so). Ghosts say "The 'time loops', as you've taken to calling them which we do find so adorable are of your own making". I found that line which you're talking about. Okay, regarding loops I kinda have a running theory here. I mean, I must''ve missed any indication of Anna becoming one of the ghosts. You mean anomalies? I felt that anomalies where smaller versions of ghosts' frequencies. Was Maggie aware of that? It seems like she wasn't. I only remember Alex talking about Clarissa getting a dog in the epilogue.Īnna is communicating with Morse Code. That's why the ghosts blame her for their situation. ![]() One of the letters says that submarine sent a distress signal which was jammed and Maggie went for the textbook response (rather than analysing it thoroughly) and had the sub hunted down. Was the sub sending a distress signal before it was spotted? I'm going to have to go back and check that, but there may have been something else going on there. On the other hand though, one part I don't get at all, why is Jonas' mother anywhere near the happenings? I mean, she died far away from the island and I guess it wasn't through nuclear disintegration so why is she there at all? Since Anna died from ghosts trying to take over her body too hastily I don't think she's become one of them at least there seems to be nothing to indicate that. ![]() I remember one of the diaries I think mentioning that it was the nuclear detonation that anchored the crew. The ghosts say that you can't change the past.but then what about Michael? When do they accuse Alex? They do resent her for being a part of humanity in general, I mean humanity which wiped them from memory, but they're appreciative of her dabbling with their signal because it gives them a shot at leaving the other side.Īnna is still gone. Originally posted by Gremlin:The ghosts aren't in control of the time loops, and accuse Alex of being the the one to cause them. Then again, I was unwilling to believe there was no other ending to Mass Effect 3 and we all know how that turned out ) Anyway, anyone got any thoughts on this? So, what exactly is the "vanilla" way of recreating the past? I made one mistake in my last playthrough, because in a flashback I told Michael to stay with Clarissa when in fact when angry at Alex she states "Michael was going to leave" rather than "we were going to leave". Hence I'm thinking there must be a way of configuring them to cook up something different. I mean, the dead submarine crew say they've witnessed the world's demise countless times and that all they have is their anger (as in, they're unwilling to accept that their death and the fact they've been forgetten by society).Īlso, of the three key decisions only telling Michael no to leave has direct influence on the outcome whether to break up with Clarissa and whether Jonas should see his mom have no effect. The general premise of the story is that you can't change the past and that fate governs happenings. I'm kinda unwilling to believe there's no other ending than the loopey-loop one. ![]()
