So, what did you think of the ending?

Blame Lovecraft, hollodri. Frictional seem to be huge fans because they always take a few pages out his book; mostly the strange, supernatural finales that tend to fall flat on more grounded horror fans. Some people find Lovecraft really interesting, others (like myself) don't.

I'm a huge Lovecraft geek and the ending disappointed me, but I wouldn't say it's particularly Lovecraftian. Lovecraft would have ended it with an ambiguous death in the face of some horrifying tentacle-monster, or with the main character committing suicide in an insane asylum. Then some outraged villagers would have dynamited the castle. I almost think a Lovecraftian ending would have been better. The actual ending was just... meh.
