But things like Remember11 and to a lesser extent things like Ever17 and Umineko also require thinking. Yet I would be laughed at by pretty much anyone if I tried to present them as 'real literature'.

>It seems pointless to ask for a game wanting a particular ending, but how about a game where you don't know who you are, until the end of the game, and you find out you're the big villain, and it simply ends with you doing the bad thing that was initially stopped by your memory loss. Like you travel back in time to purposely make sure you don't lose your memory so you can do that villainy thing.
Remember11 has something like this. Probably. Possibly. Depending on who you ask. Actually, nobody knows for sure.

I actually thought the opposite: The hours and hours and hours spent connecting the dots and starting to understand the game was the best thing about Remember11 for me. The only thing that bothers me about its lack of closure is that there's no way to 'check your answers'; my theory is mostly correct, but it still has holes, and there's no way for me to find out what part of the theory is not correct.

What the hell, I even quoted it back then, apparently...

(Major Remember11 spoilers)
Final level reached
The final space-time transfer occurs (final level).
Satoru (I) is lost from the world.
His final destination...?
Was the "Plan" a success as expected?
Was it a failure?
Where is self?
The eternally unescapable maze of memory.
The shadow Satoru saw just before his fall from the clock tower--
It is already imprisoned in time-space.
It may have been "Self"...
-- Into the Infinity Loop.

It is already imprisoned in time-space. How did I miss that?!

Also, the graph representation of the timeline also gives me a new way to look at things...why is that all the way at the end of Satoru's week? Does 'it is already imprisoned' mean that everything was already successful on January 11th? Is this piece of info at the end of the timeline because that was the date the loop became stable...?

That's because there was nothing to remember. Satoru is a completely different person who just happened to have some of the original Satoru's memories.

So... is this it? This is the end?

If that's true, this is an NGE-tier troll ending. What the hell, you can't just throw a truckload of inconsistent references ranging from DMT to Japanese folk songs to quantum technobabble and then cut everything off when it's finally time for answers.

I don't have a 100% complete save yet, so those remaining bad endings had best tie up all those loose threads fast, or I'm gonna go full Inubushi Keiko.
