(and yes i know some people will find this overly sensitive of me, but from what i've seen a lot of people have felt similarly so i thought i'd make a post where we could discuss what we think of this ending, rather than all the threads just trying to figure out how to get it)ĮDIT: spaced out paragraphs for accessibility

Overall i feel like maybe the only way this ♥♥♥♥ed up shock ending would be ok is if they gave him a legitimate good ending as well like they did all the other routes, but for him to have a neutral (which is apparently the good end), bad, and EVIL ending is so sadistic and i don't know if i can play this game anymore.

it just completely sours the tone of the ENTIRE game, which i feel was irresponsible and poor writing for something marketed as very wholesome, especially considering its LGBT ties- joseph's story could've been about the struggles of religion and coming out, instead they just pull a camp trope of him as a hypersexual demon who preys on men. This whole thing has left a really bad taste in my mouth and i can't even really enjoy the other routes because of something joseph says in the level 18 text about him being the real reason they all live in the same area, have unhappy lives, dead spouses, etc. It’s not that i can’t handle a twist either, but this felt like cheap shock value more than anything else imo to write a character as so (seemingly) genuinely sweet and kindhearted and then flip it on us 'haha you really thought he loved you? well he actually wants to kill you and your family!' like it's one thing to just reveal him to actually be a jerk and another to reveal that he's actually a murderous sociopath. i know some of you are really excited about it, and I'm genuinely happy for you, but i personally felt it to be extremely upsetting to the point where i don't know if i can touch this game again. I've thought about the cult ending a lot, and it honestly still breaks my heart.
