so I have a theory. I think "Mike" is actually Thomas and the Young Man is "Mike". Maybe he grew obsessed and killed him because the Real Thomas didn't reciprocate the love he wanted. But he also couldn't bear the reality that he killed his friend/someone he loved so he chose to isolate and live out this fantasy filled with normal routines to keep the lie of Thomas still alive. The radio frequency voices, the voice saying "hello", and the giant bug are all aspects of his psyche calling him out ((the illusion is fragmenting)). The meat part stumps me though. I know the love allegories of flesh consumption/cannibalism. So he grows and eats "Mike" and kills "Thomas" on the final days as a means of staying in control? Ending things on his term?Like if He can't have them then nobody can? They'll be apart of Him always?
awesome game! short and leads up to the end perfectly. Was a bit confused though on the ending as I didn't quite know that was the end but nonetheless fun.
