So, was anyone else disappointed that this was rather short and with a non-ending? The physics were no doubt amazing, and a lot of the game play was pretty darn neat. But the story they touted as being so immersive was kind of a let down. Anyway, feel free to give opinions on the game in general.

Just beat it. While I wish it was a longer game, I liked the ending. Didn’t understand it one bit, but I liked it. 😉
