I find the ending satisfying. Mankind did not know they were saved, so there's no question there isn't any hero's welcome when he woke up. Let's just think of his life extension as his award. It's a really good, intellectually opening story. Great job on the team AND the writers!
Joe was.. lone from the start. Being a painter, joining the army, holding a sign for a buffet.. that was sad enough. He only had Frank, Joe is so quiet. It all happened, and Joe.. will never forget. He is in a world tottally new to him.. and now he's a centre caller.. he's alone. He has nobody. He has no family. No visible friends.. nothing. Just.. alone. It almost made me cry. The museum scene is the most upsetting to me. He was.. very.. um.. sad from the start. He has criplling memories, many questions, a new world to settle in, a terrible job and history. I feel bad for him. I feel bad.
Those who didn't like the ending are too used to cliche happy endings. What did you expect? Joe receiving an award for saving mankind? Mankind didn't even realize it needed saving.
Is it just me or do the guys who where at the hospital with him (the one at the end) look like the original ones who where frozen with him at archon? The one who was crazy with the tv was the one who was frozen with his eyes open, the weird dude who kept saying get the kingdom save the girl too..
Most people don't get it. The ending wanted to tell us that we live in the so called "Silent Age". Where everyone is obsessed with electronics, which is greatly depicted in the Subway scene. While most of the players would say that the silent age was the apocalyptic scenery. This is a great game, and compares the apocalypse with the time we are living in currently.
Just finished this game today and I literally cried at the end but it was a very unique ending. Joe cannot settle in this world that's why he was not enthusiastic and he lived a loner life. The reason behind it being called a silent age is because there is no sociality in this world everyone is glued to their electronic devices and life goes on monotonously because of work pressure and other things. Overall this was an amazing game I loved the story
This ending reminds me captain america being defreeze after being 70 years freezed in ice, a totally new world and life for him, so much things lost...
I really like this ending, the music, the atmosphere, that Joe can now live his life knowing he saved the world from himself, that he broke the cycle that kept history from repeating itself and ending the world.
One thing I noticed was in the area where the bar is the vehicle he arrives in from the island is still there but rusted when you use the device to switch to the same area in the future which made me know there and then he never left that place. It's kind of mind boggling actually that where he is in the very end after waking up from cryostaisis is actually an alternate timeline to the one he started in.
well, not exactly. he slept in hibernation for 30 years which means his body didn't age, he slept for 5 weeks after coming out of the cryo chamber, that's why he has a beard
For the people who think he would have friends, becomr popular, and recive a award for saving the world... dont expect that. The ending is fine but its just sad that hes still alone
Is it possible that the meaning of the ending is that the developer is trying to show us, how ignorant we can be because of the electronic device creating the situation as if we were living in the silent age, pretty much a distraction will happen if we keep on being ignorant? Gosh, I just love the ending, it's not like a typical videogame ending that only shows the good ending, but it also leaves us questioning what the real meaning of the ending was.
It's quite simple how the Spanish flu was the deadliest thing back in the day but now that we have advanced medically it isn't a thing to be feared. Similarly, the avian flu was considered deadly in the 70's due to lack of medical advancements but it was not something difficult to cure in 2012
If I was not mistaken many speculated that flu was a bioweapon and because it is several decades later, it would make sense if people had already found the cure
But Joe 😢😥 what will he doing now after his new life in 2012😭 we need silent age 2 to complete the story But unless he saved the humanity he's hero no one know that
It's so sad that Joe goes through all of that (he literally time travels multiple times while saving humanity) just to end up working at a call center all alone. He's never gonna get a word of thanks for it either since nobody knows what happened. It's really sad actually and he seemed like a okay guy too
just finished the game a few minutes ago. And seeing the comments, the final age where he is, is the real "Silent Age", everyone with his electronic devices... makes us think about it.
I didn't understand did joe really save the world or as the doctor said was the end of the world just an illusion given by the time travel device? anyway great game❤️
Not a time traveler We've survived a pandemic (COVID-19) but with many casualties sadly The new US president is Joe Biden Also there's a war between two countries (Russia and Ukraine) and US is providing aid to Ukraine Next update in 5 years if by any chance I remember this comment 😅
He's not sick anymore because he was cured by more advanced medicine. Basically everyone already developed an immunity towards the once "killer desiase" It actually make sense. Example : The flu might be able to kill people from hundreds of years ago, but now it's just a nuisance. Joe basically saved himself and the human race in this story
@@teasable Day of Tentacle is another time travel adventure game about stopping a tentacle that falls in toxic goo from taking over the world. I have not played it but I hear it is very good though much more difficult than this game (more confusing puzzles). Ben there Dan that is another good relatively easy adventure game where you control two friends and try get them out of the place where they have been kidnapped. Another relatively easy game is Paradigm where you control a mutant trying to avoid old nuclear bombs in Not-Russia from going off and blowing up the world. Let me know if you try any of these.
What i still dont understand...but maybe it should be let like this and not debated is why humanity died in the first place. If there is a continuity law...that means the future cant be altered . How did the first joe spread the virus yaking in consideration he followed the same steps? Like didnt he had the same revelation and freezed himself? Or it can be explained by quantum and probability...like ...every event that happens has multiple ways to happen and a probability yo happen. If repeated enough times could have other outcome. Idk man. Its still a good story and game. Just finished . Thx epic games for making it free and visible
He put himself in a Cryo tube which freezed him and stopped his aging process The doctor who was working there told that their company buyed the Cryo tubes from Archon in which Joe was present. So they treated him from the virus and he woke up from his sleep that's what it means
DON´T WORRY ABOUT HIS FIRST JOB, IN REAL LIFE, HE WILL WRITE A BOOK OF HIS JOURNEY, APPEAR ALL OVER THE MEDIA AND BECOME MILLIONAIRE. IT´S KNOWN THAT WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE IN LIFE CHANGE YOU AND MAKE YOU GROW, SO HE IS NOT THE SAME PERSON HE WAS BEFORE HIS ADVENTURE.
BeSc List HOW?!? Not every game has a perfectly happy ending where everything turns out to be sunshine and rainbows. Even then, he at the very least saved mankind, this is a more neutral type ending
@@onionthewifiplayer3223hi sorry for unbarably late comment. The ending was bad. bad because it was undatisfing not for being"sunshine and rainbows" It had so much potential specially if it had a bad ending.
@@shimaaalayie9965 hell yeah. I would be so much more satisfied with the "creating a loop" ending, where he wouldn't freeze himself and just be the patient 0 and doom the mankind.
@@kytičkářyeah especially when joe mentioned he probably would spend his last moments with his lesiure time in polise car.here my fan ending based of this:after the doctor said her diolog leaves the room with a cough than instead of showing joe his life at the end, showing what he mentioned he would does near the end of the word.with the same creepy format they used to show their ending.

Yeah 🥲
And despite all that he still had the guts to save mankind and didn't complained about not being rewarded
Those who didn't like the ending are too used to cliche happy endings. What did you expect? Joe receiving an award for saving mankind? Mankind didn't even realize it needed saving.
I did not understand the ending I expected Joe to return to 1972and resume his everyday life and not get in 2012
Thank you
I expected it to end when Joe realised he was patient 0 and that he caused the doom of mankind, because it would close the loop.
@@kytičkář yeah i also think the game should end right there, or else it wouldnt be logical
Is it just me or do the guys who where at the hospital with him (the one at the end) look like the original ones who where frozen with him at archon? The one who was crazy with the tv was the one who was frozen with his eyes open, the weird dude who kept saying get the kingdom save the girl too..

Fuck it, that was a fucked up end
🖤❤🖤
But thats waaay disconected theory
They should make a movie about this game.
Or a show for each chapter.
yup. or even an episode in Black Mirror
And the actor will be either Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt or Jim Carrey. I see them fit to play as Joe IMO.
I also want a movie on it good idea
@@khachakir oooh yeah it would be a good black mirror ep

What a sad ending. I don't think Joe enjoyed his new life. He probably had no one...
Yeah
And no one will ever know he saved humanity
No I think
he never had anybody
This ending reminds me captain america being defreeze after being 70 years freezed in ice, a totally new world and life for him, so much things lost...

A hero that world will never know him!

Sooo... basically mankind still dies a sort of silent death. Welp thats effing depressing .
Who else is playing this during coronavirus pandemic?
Hell yeah...
Me
I am already finished The Game right before December 2019
Just finished it today
I finished it after. Games about apocaliptic endings really do feel different after the coronavirus pandemic.
This was a good ending. Sure, it's still a dead-end job, but at least there's a chance for a supervisor role.
In a sense, Joe is true saviour. He's kind, and he doesn't look for any rewards for the good deeds he has done. What a guy
is it possible that he was crazy and imagined the whole game
No, the other guys were saying end of the world stories, which it means all was true
Maybe he was in a coma until we see him wake up with beard in a fu white suit,those other guys may have been just sick
Wow, so many people in this comment section fail to understand this game
explain it
Another great game. :) I do love how time travel 'cause and effect' type scenarios make you think. Thanks for uploading :)
Oh come on! it can't end this way!! Joe nearly got mankind extinct and now he's an employee? what!? come on!
miss shopping ................😔
Sorry I’m late but he saved mankind
I mean extra 30 years in life, neat though
Poor Joe. Slept his 40 years (of what, 70 years?) to save the humanity but ended up in a call center.
well, not exactly. he slept in hibernation for 30 years which means his body didn't age, he slept for 5 weeks after coming out of the cryo chamber, that's why he has a beard
This game is so good. This is how games become precious memories for a player, not for the gameplay but for a cool, touching, well carried out story.
This game was a master piece I'll never forget it
8 years later Joe discovered coronavirus
lol you got me
Ah shit here we go again
I wonder how many folks will come here from the free Epic giveaway?
I one of them
@@flame7822 So was I 🙂A good laid back game not requiring too much of one.
Me, just finished the game. good one.
@@alvaruspe7723 I agree. Nice.

i was thinking that the ending would be loop again
I was disappointed it wasn't, it would be so much better...
I was expecting Joe to become a programmer, then created this game to tell a story man. It would have been a better twist given his ability at puzzle.
Nostalgia hits like a train after playing this game 8 years later.I remember when me and my brother used to play this game together.
Great game but I'm a bit confused on how when he woke up, it ended up being a non-lethal avian flu. Did it just weaken over the years?
It's quite simple how the Spanish flu was the deadliest thing back in the day but now that we have advanced medically it isn't a thing to be feared. Similarly, the avian flu was considered deadly in the 70's due to lack of medical advancements but it was not something difficult to cure in 2012
If I was not mistaken many speculated that flu was a bioweapon and because it is several decades later, it would make sense if people had already found the cure
Ngl, the decease that almost killed the mankind is kinda like coronavirus tho.
But Joe 😢😥 what will he doing now after his new life in 2012😭 we need silent age 2 to complete the story
But unless he saved the humanity he's hero no one know that
How the doctor knew that he had to play dead the first time he went there if Joe hadn't told him what he needed to do and happened in archon
It's so sad that Joe goes through all of that (he literally time travels multiple times while saving humanity) just to end up working at a call center all alone. He's never gonna get a word of thanks for it either since nobody knows what happened. It's really sad actually and he seemed like a okay guy too

I didn't understand did joe really save the world or as the doctor said was the end of the world just an illusion given by the time travel device? anyway great game❤️
What? The doctor never said that? He did save the world.
@@blfimrtsgnziv9549 yes in the end the doctor said that the device carried illusions, so it could all be an illusion
He did save the world but no one absolutely no one will believe his story
And no one knows the mankind is on the verge of dying at that time
i wonder if after he left the hospital he tracked down Doctor lambert or any of his old “friends”
Great series I have ever played.
The unsung hero of mankind :(
Not a time traveler
We've survived a pandemic (COVID-19) but with many casualties sadly
The new US president is Joe Biden
Also there's a war between two countries (Russia and Ukraine) and US is providing aid to Ukraine
Next update in 5 years if by any chance I remember this comment 😅
Miss this game
It makes no sense. How can he be not sick? There are many things unsolved.
He's not sick anymore because he was cured by more advanced medicine. Basically everyone already developed an immunity towards the once "killer desiase" It actually make sense. Example : The flu might be able to kill people from hundreds of years ago, but now it's just a nuisance. Joe basically saved himself and the human race in this story
+RaZ You need to see the whole video
The medicent in the 1970 is bad but when he woke up at 2012 the medicent becomes like 300% more efficient
Can anyone recommend a similar game like the silent age ?
I want one too

I personally really like “A Broken Age”, it’s $5 but totallyyyy worth it! You can play the game from 2 perspectives too!
7 Years from now, one of my favorites tbh.
Try the game "father and son" Or "another world"
What i still dont understand...but maybe it should be let like this and not debated is why humanity died in the first place. If there is a continuity law...that means the future cant be altered .

have u noticed there was an illuminati image
Where
What
@@max-greg On the wall of the patient who needed pen and paper
@@opaldemon9437 that could of been a shadow from the lamp
He fell asleep for three decade ? He must have been asleep becuase of the time traveling
He put himself in a Cryo tube which freezed him and stopped his aging process
The doctor who was working there told that their company buyed the Cryo tubes from Archon in which Joe was present. So they treated him from the virus and he woke up from his sleep that's what it means
How do you compare intro and the ending?What do they tell?
wow awesome runs for the vid
Thanks for watching :)
lol sounds like cap after being frozen for 70 years
He must have been hilucinating the whole game
Maybe in real life it happend and hidden from people.
What..
Thanks epic games for having this game free i claimed played wow what a story it is ❤
NPC’s, no matter what they do for the world, remain NPC’s. Sad
Really good but when the first time came from future with the disease why he didn't thought to go cryogen
I bought the game on mobile im 8 i dint know what hapen
DON´T WORRY ABOUT HIS FIRST JOB, IN REAL LIFE, HE WILL WRITE A BOOK OF HIS JOURNEY, APPEAR ALL OVER THE MEDIA AND BECOME MILLIONAIRE. IT´S KNOWN THAT WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE IN LIFE CHANGE YOU AND MAKE YOU GROW, SO HE IS NOT THE SAME PERSON HE WAS BEFORE HIS ADVENTURE.
So where is his time machine?
It broke on the last time travel
I really liked it but I have a question
This game so creepy & mystery
wow what a cheap ending...

Joe mama
But anyway really good nice job
so he failed bummer man all the things the player did is just the waste of time.
How? If he failed, there wouldn’t be any sign of life after he woke up -or if he ever wakes up-
he didn't fail
