Notice there is a lot of diegetic music in the both Bastion and Transistor, and sometimes if you listen to the lyrics it will give you hints about the plot. *SPOILERS* I think that is a pretty good analysis of the plot, but something tells me Red and the man in the Transistor have secrets of their own that the game does not reveal directly. Hope you all have a great day and thank you for reading this! And I don't think any other recent games I have played have made me think so much about the plot. But I just really wanted to share these thoughts (and hopefully some can agree with some of this).Įither way, I enjoyed the game, the art, the music, the battle system. So that is part of my take, and still I have many questions and thoughts and all about many aspects. I would like to think her actions released all the Traces/other people inside the transistor and allowed all the citizens to live a real life in the real world. Removing herself from cloudbank (her being the last user, the last architect/programmer/admin of the transistor) she kinda shut down that virtual reality, perhaps ending the endless loop of recursion and managing to get out into the real world. And with it she can use it to either rebuild cloudbank, now an empty virtual reality without any people, or use it to end that plane of existence. However, I would like to believe that Red takes control over the transistor (for me this is the key to the portal (the cradle) between the real world (the country) and the virtual world (cloudbank). So, for me, I think that the Camerata kinda succeeded with their plan to reduce the changes, by kinda "by mistake" making the people having to log out and go to the country.Īlso, I think that the place where Royce and Red fight is inside the Transistor, not at "the country" and perhaps inside the transistor you can have that infinite loop some speak of, explaining the transistors in the background as other planes of that loop wherein cloudbank is existing. I believe "going to the country" is leaving/logging off from cloudbank for a less "perfect world where I can vote and get the changes that I want" a world where you have to take things as they are. I think, that at the end of it all, the country is the real world, the world outside of cloudbank, outside of that virtual reality. I believe it was a bit more positive than that. And it kinda doesn't fit neither the story nor the character. Like I posted there, I try to keep a less morbid feel to it than "Red committed suicide and went to "The Country" as in "heaven/afterlife" to find her Mr Blue and be dead together".I am sorry if I sound naive and too optimistic but I think that is a far too simplified answer to what happened in the end. "The Story of Transistor" [(The last comment by "Donna" is by me where I give a few thoughts of my own). Well first of all I want to thank you all who have been posting about the story and your thoughts on the ending of the game.Īnd second: I came across this today and wanted to share it. However, wide and complex speculations aside, it can feel good to also get some confirmation on a few thoughts too. And I like that it's kinda ambiguous and open so that we can have these kind of discussions about it. I just finished Transistor (one play through so far) and I have been looking for explanations to better understand the plot, this world and the ending.Īnd I have read some things here on steam as well as online on different wiki-pages for Transistor. Hello, I am new here so forgive me if I make any newbie-mistakes.
