As someone else mentioned on page one, I also had Kid die the first time I fought Lynx. I reloaded my save and managed to live this time, but Kid and Magil both left Serge behind ultimately after using the Time Egg. Both endings were marked the same as Kid’s ending despite the credits being different with the party not present and present. I rebooted the game and immediately encountered an event I hadn’t seen before by falling asleep. I looked at the light and spotted a ghost. The weird part now when I saved, my playtime has been exponentially growing from two, to four, to eight hours with saves all within a minute of each other and I have an animal sticker on the file. I decided to come clean to the old woman this time too in the clock tower. Interested to find out what that changes if anything.
Lot of weird stuff already! Very curious how the game works to have multiple endings. Please don’t tell me
Edit: Ok I misread my save file for the time thing. It reset on playthrough two lol and I read minutes as hours lol.
