It's a beautiful game, but I don't think I understand what's going on too well.
Can anyone explain it?
"One guy in a space station had to watch as the people in the underground launch facility unleashed armageddon upon the world - maybe while trying to kill some monstrous creature (we see the remains in the "blue" world). There has been some problem on the space station, as we can see from the cracked domes and such, but now the teleporters are back online and our guy can check out what has happened on Earth.
Unfortunately nobody remains, not even the monster. Only some machinery is still going, but the ecosystem is doomed, as the water supply is obviously polluted by green radioactive stuff. The once luxuriant planet is no more: its last beauty is a Christmas-like snowfall which is actually nuclear ashes fallout.
Humanity had a mining colony on an asteroid belt, but even that is now gone. So, to keep the voices (of the dead ones?) in his head quiet, our guy does the only possible thing and jumps with his escape pod right into the sun, maybe restarting a cycle."
It's pretty depressing.
