BAROQUE（Sega Saturn / PlayStation / PlayStation 2）
🌒 Ending Branches and a Fragmentary World
An amnesiac protagonist repeatedly descends the Neuro Tower in a distorted apocalyptic world. Its setting emerges in fragments, with conversations and developments gradually opening through repeated deaths. Without delving too far, this guide outlines choices at the bottom and an approach to interpreting the world.
BAROQUE — what should I check first in Ending Requirements and Interpreting the World?
At the Neuro Tower's bottom, you choose how to confront the Absolute God, with different actions producing different endings. One direction leads toward purification, the other toward fusion. The resulting presentation changes, so reach the bottom with this branch in mind if you want to see both outcomes. Discovering the actual consequences yourself is part of the appeal.

The story is not exhausted by one descent. Repeated deaths and attempts open conversations and accessible places, while dialogue with Outer World residents changes with progression. Advancing through the game is itself a process of connecting fragmentary setting details. Rather than rushing for answers, notice what emerges through repetition.
- ▸ Deaths and retries expand dialogue and accessible places
- ▸ Outer World residents' dialogue changes with progression
- ▸ Progress itself connects fragments of the setting
- ▸ Notice information revealed across repeated attempts
The distorted apocalyptic setting is conveyed through atmosphere and fragments rather than explicit explanation, leaving room for interpretation. Character dialogue, tower structure, and item names offer clues, yet no single definitive reading is easy to establish. This leaves ample space to form your own picture. Remember intriguing fragments and enjoy later connections to deepen immersion.
- ▸ Atmosphere and fragments leave the setting open to interpretation
