I love the pairing of a person who appears to be cold and detached with the burning, usually self-immolating nature of being dedicated to something to the point of utter madness. She is so very human in that way. Perhaps this madness is an inextricable part of hope and love, because what else would drive a person to choose this?

@@onischultz flesh represents decay of Ariana's health due to lethal radiational sickness. Many hints are placed all around the Sierpinski early point at what we deal with - cancerous growths in replikas, gestalts dying out due to unknown illness (symptoms described are from radiation sickness itself), spikes on unknown planet where Penrose "crashlanded" and "This place is no place of honor" plaque represent nuclear long-term waste concepts designed to drive random people of the future away from those sites...
What I love about Elster's determination is that just like Doomguy, it tethers on insanity caused by loss, but unlike Doomguy (not his fault, just cheesy writing), we get to see and be part of that loss. It almost isn't a power fantasy like Doomguy. It's Adler's qoute, but at this moment it might reflect on Elster even better. "I have no mask - And I hate everything." Once Elster remembered the promise she was angry at Eusan. Angry at the universe. Angry at herself for forgetting. And angry at anything that might stand in her way now. I think that at this point, she (Elster) is now fully back in sync with her old self, not the Replica L-STR512, not the original Gestalt that served as her pattern, but the unique Elster that promised Ariane. She transcended being a replica for the second time with her time on the Penrose being the first time, now more of a Gestalt than a Replica.
If there's any way I think such emotion can be accurately described: I think characters like Johnny Silverhand, Elster, the Doom Slayer; and other such vengeful killers in fiction pick up their guns not because of insanity - but because they wish to seemingly improve their own resolve for those they still care for in life and lost in death. Violence begets violence sometimes. In this case, it's begotten by starting a fight that dramatically escalated in favor of the victim over time - an unforseen consequence to otherwise dominant powers of their respective worlds.
Love this comparison to the fullest. Though, if we’re comparing Elster to Doomguy, would be best to compare her to Doomguy from the older games, either Doom 1 or 3 since he hasn’t achieved that certain amount of power to be considered a power fantasy character. We just play as a normal marine who has no real motive to kill everything in sight (not until he finds daisy dead, at least.) and is only trying to survive the invasion just because he got dragged into this whole ordeal of being sent to Mars because he had morals, which was not shooting innocent people because his superior officer said so.

This is by far the best track in the game, it just gets me in the mood for Signalis every time I hear it, this game is just perfection and I'll love it forever
This track was always one that pumped me up! It's great to have more of this stuff! I think the only extended one I am missing is Kentucky Meat Shower, for a similar kickass vibe. Thank you again for making these!
Reminds me a lot of Destiny 1's Taken King OST, especially Regicide and Dark Blade on vibes alone. _(Even though it might just be those booming organ synths; Although, obviously, the Dead Space vibes are immaculate)_ _(Also, through Regicide, it very weirdly reminded me of Arkham City)_
Talking about regicides... I hear some resemblance to the 40k game with the same name, namely to the track called rise of the waaagh! Can you check it out? Maybe I'm imagining things?
Because I can swear I've heard the same melody before. Not saying there stealing involved but they were clearly inspired by something, if not by regicide then by something else - that was just the first thing I remembered that sounded somewhat similar in structure
I can kind of hear what you mean with Rise of the Waaagh just with a slight reversal in the horn's booming highs and lows alongside the drums. As for inspiration I don't know any specific song that could've inspired it, but the game takes heavy inspiration from Dead Space (For instance, the industrial sound of the ost)@@Brandelwyn
I got the Memory ending. I will go back just to hear it in game because at the moment of descent my mind was too preoccupied with the sheer dread of WHAT can be down there that I kind of did not pay much mind to music.
Just finished the game few weeks ago. But is it just me or Elster looks like Sanakan (Blame!). Also long haired Ariane kinda looks like Cibo (Blame!). Both couples love each other. One of them become a superior being (Cibo and Ariane). One become protector (Elster and Sanakan)
