I had similar feelings at first, which is also why I googled up the other endings. But then I came to really like them. I even got the true ending for my save game. As short as the endings are, they do touch me on an emotional level. At the very least she was able to say goodbye and accomplish something great - many lives end without such a chance. Hollow Knight in comparison is the better game, but I do love the artstyle, music and themes in Ghost Song just as much. It feels more like a Super Metroid game and exploring the planet and surviving it's horrors / dangers felt great, while the hub area gave a sense of piece. I also love when things are kept misterious. Despite its shortcomings, Ghost Song is one of my favorite Metroidvanias.
Then the ship takes off, flies past the static zone, the ship computer says it recorded "Little Blue's" consciousness, and the robot lady who was always building her own body says she'll build one for "Little Blue". There I fixed it with 30 more seconds of thinking than the devs did.
My headcanon goes like this: First, I would have had Deadsuit ask where Charlie's body was when she finds the crash site. Then after the Big Bot fight, I would have Charlie's body on a table in the next room hooked to a bunch of machines. Seymond would walk in and apologize again. He would say something along the lines of how much death he had seen over the centuries, and how heavy it weighed on him. During the crash he saw an opportunity to prevent, or at least delay, one more death. Charlie was unfortunately too far gone to properly transfer to the Deadsuit, and so she was working on borrowed time. Souls not captured before death couldn't be recaptured. If they could, Seymond would have already brought back everyone he had lost. The Deadsuit would then malfunction and more soul energy would start to leak. Seymond would say to go back with what little time Charlie had left, and spend it with her family. Charlie would instead decide to use her final moments to convince Construct to lower the field. She would first say that her friends will die if it is not lowered, but upon being damaged, she would say it was her family that would die. The mention of family would stir Construct to action. The final scene would be Pasha begging Deadsuit to get up and come along. She would say that she couldn't, she was too tired. She would say she was sorry for leaving her. She would collapse, and he soul would hover for a moment. It would pass through Pasha, engulfing her in purple light, and then fly off. Pasha would stand for a second in silence, and then say, "Goodbye...Sister." I'd sure as heck have an after credits scene where a Relic captures a floating purple orb in her hands and says, "Hello little one. Maybe we have been going about this all wrong. Maybe he cant be destroyed, but maybe he can be persuaded. Will you help us child?" with an improved Deadsuit materializing next to her. Gotta plug the next game even if it will never happen.
@@miclowgunman1987 just finished the game and this right here…I would have been so much happier with this other than what they gave us. Amazing game. Really felt like I was playing super Metroid again but this is horrible ending. What you got here is so much better.
I'll admit I like your endings more, but they aren't necessarily better. You're ignoring the fact that this game is about letting go and starting over. Charlie is, ultimately already dead. Almost everyone on this ship is already in the process of moving on to a new stage in their lives. - Matilda, who has been doing all the calculations required for space travel, has to come to terms with not being able to understand Seymond's static field. - Raven has to make peace with leaving her old body behind, and all the minutiae that she'd grown familiar with, moving to an unknown vessel that she knew would change her in many small ways. - Molly gives up being a tinkerer, conquering her fear or failure if she can't make it as an artist. - Gigi's old life is inaccessible to her, the man she once considered her only friend having chosen to die before trying to communicate, and the people she worked for literally still looking to kill her. - Pasha's going to be starting school, which means leaving the crew - her family - behind, at least temporarily, but she might find a new calling elsewhere. - All the people mutated by the forces at work on this moon are people who succumbed to obsession. Bounty hunters trying to kill Seymond, but willing to kill anyone else, or already insane from direct exposure to the Roslock. Henrietta and Mutt are the most obvious examples, but there are others. - Charlie's life ended when he crashed. His spirit was caught by the static field before finding its way into the Deadsuit. Meanwhile, his sister and friends grieved for him and are in the process of moving on. The only thing keeping him with them seems like it wasn't designed to hold souls indefinitely. When he went to sleep, after he stopped talking, he was well and truly dead until the suit booted back up, and he was getting more 'tired' with each passing day. If he were to return to them, it would mean he would just be postponing his true death for a few more days at most. But Charlie DID have a purpose; to save his crew. He succeeded, and that was everything he wanted to do with what strength he had left. Ultimately, there weren't any other possible endings.
I haven't meet 'Henriette the changed one'. Completed the game, now playing New Game plus, same thing. I am also missing some key modules to help me get access to certain areas too. A bit hard to see them or know where whey are. Amazing game!
There was so many great things about this game but the ending was kind of bad. why couldn't they take blue with them, who was charley? what was the planet really, a death world decaying body of Charley, there was a lot of loose ends. not as many bosses either the Map was tiny. but graphics , control were brilliant and overall great game.
SPOILERS: LOTS of SPOILERS below: In the game, it's explained that the moon was once a populated world with a society of people living on it. For various complicated reasons (look up THE CUT MACHINE" (PEBBLE OF PERSPECTIVE) for Ghost Song on UA-cam as it reveals these various complicated reasons. The Cut Machine (Pebble of Perspective) is a HIDDEN story sequence in the game that answers A LOT of questions. They seriously shouldn't have made this hidden since almost everyone who played the game does NOT know about this hidden story sequence and they should have included this in the normal game for everyone playing the game to see), giant humanoid insects invaded the society (you most likely ran into them. They are those fly looking things with the white wings that attack you as you go deeper in the game). They wiped out 99.99% of the entire planet's population and destroyed it's entire society. There is A LOT more to this story (including the scientists and entities who caused this). Again, best to look up THE CUT MACHINE" (PEBBLE OF PERSPECTIVE) for Ghost Song on UA-cam since the crazy crap that happens is a bit complicated to explain. ALSO... The Deadsuit (Blue) was really Charley (Pasha's sister). This gets indirectly explained if you get the Charley ending (which is the secret ending and I had to look up videos on how to get it since it's EXTREMELY confusing to get without a guide). I originally got the Roper ending (the normal ending) which explains nothing. Ultimately: The "Ghost Song" was this: the game's main mission (to save Pasha and everyone else) was the metaphorical "song" of the ghost (Charley, who is Pasha's dead sister, whose ghostly form inhabits the deadsuit / Blue) which is her final act in life before she passes on to the afterlife during the end of the game. (Personally, I'm hoping for a sequel where Charley is still inside the deadsuit and the crew carried her into the ship and they flew off with her to another planet).
Dude used Blade Runner as analogy to this game… Which to me is a brilliant comparison; cause as w/Blade Runner, this game- “Was it legendary? Was it as good as it could have been? Why not &…where exactly did it fall short?” For one varying reason or the other, Ghost Song fell ever so very short to being a genuine classic; even still it remains a genuine classic. For that doesn’t take away from the stellar atmosphere, ambience, dread, serenity & sense of loneliness that this game nails spot on. Imo this game deserves a lot more eyes & playthroughs-it’s an amazing experience coming from “1 single dev???” Genuine art
Isn't there a skull boss if you bring a ship part there? I forgot to bring it in my playthrough and i am lazy to play the game all over again, the sword after it is pretty nice though
Yes, this boss is called Kellunhelk the Cracked Engineer. You can trigger the boss fight when entering the area with a ship part or the curious gizmo from Mabac's shop 👌 The location is deep in Junk Pit.
Is there a story explanation why youre "finished" in the end? Or did devs just wanna be edgy and have MC die in the end because they read online that sad ending = good writing? I couldnt bother finishing this since controls and the game are so bad, but i wanna know how it ends
It is implied throughout the game that the Deadsuit is somehow flawed and you are running on borrowed time. That is why after each part, you get more and more tired. By the last part, you are literally leaking out soul energy. Even if you did not get wreaked by Construct, the suit would have likely failed. Even if it didnt, leaving the solar system would mean that you would be consumed by the Worm-God, as described by Saymond. I'd have done it different, but the mood of the whole game was melancholy yet hopeful. So there was never going to be an ending where the Deadsuit left with the rest of the crew. Maybe Relic can bring her back for part 2 though.
the game is so awesome but I was expecting more of the ending
Just finished it with Charlie ending. I am in the same opinion as you are
Me too
worst ending ever

@@johnpenguinthe3rd13 i ate the pebble of perspective. Was that a mistake. Or was i supposed to take it somewhere?
People need to utilize the blobs and flys more. Flys in particular made dolly a joke.
I love the flies. Started with blobs. Firing bugs at things is quite satisfying
I used the flies on a few bosses, first I would try to avoid using them. If I died, I would use them as it made bosses easy
dam, we have been... the death sister of Pasha all this time

Both endings you still get left behind. So there is no good ending.

Also I hate beating a boss and getting nothing.
You ruined the whole experience with your teabag nonsense
This game has a headshot feature
That was awesome, I wish I was as coordinated as you were, still having trouble with first boss 👍👏.
The ending is so unsatisfying
henrietaaa 20 deaths fuk !
Tal cual, para mi el jefe más jodido del juego xD
I freaking hate her. The 2nd fight. I cant get a rhythm on her
how do u get triple jump?
You need to talk to Mabec, the voice from the elevator
@@Kryogench where do I find her?
I have a video on it
You can get a 4th jump
@@6romansoldier LIAR!
This video highlights exactly why I didn't like this game.
It just devolves into spamming skab device and painwheel to output the most damage.

Good game, shitty ending
I have only seen dolly once and everytime I go back to that same spot, she's never there
For my she went to the area next to the elevator that you can fall down after she killed me.
you can find her at the very top of the map on the hill before going into the cave with all the moths in
