WTF just happened!? Oh yeah, there's the ending too, but I was too lazy to record and process it... since it's like 40 minutes long. I think I've already seen it on Youtube anyway. Maybe I'll get around to it later.
But yeah. Can a game's ending possibly be both touching and what-the-hell-is-going-on inducing at the same time? Trusty Bell proves yes. As I saw many people mentioning, the story kind of falls apart right after Chapter 6 and you're sort of left in the dust because weird junk starts happening. Your characters don't even seem to notice the WTF-ness.
The game is kind of short as well, that's about 25 hours in. I haven't done the bonus dungeon yet (which may also change the ending, I don't know) so tack on a few more hours, and it's still on the short side for an RPG.
Anyway I guess I'll tackle the bonus dungeon over the next few days, then give my final review of the game. There IS stuff to do on a second playthrough so I'm not totally done with Trusty Bell yet.
