***WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS BELLOW***










I wanted to discuss a bit of the story, since it is a story shroud in mystery and some things are not very clear (not that that is a bad thing).

From what I understood, the void seems like some kind of purgatory between hell and a real world and apparently we are to blame for it, or so I was told by some sisters, mainly Una, but never got what exactly happened.

I also got the feeling there are more than one surface / reality, as Yani and Ole seem out of place to the other sisters.

The part where Godsend enter into play completely lost me. Seems like Godsend is some kind of salvation spirit or something and needs a sister to reincarnate, but if that is the case, what happens to Godsend if we self ascend?

I'm also curious, who is the Golden Sister? :D

Also, is there a particular reason why most of the Brothers simply disappear after the feast? I welcome that, otherwise the game would be too hard with all them wandering around, but at the same time, it just feels out of place. I mean, they probably returned to the nightmare, but it was all too abrupt, causing the last 3 chapters of the game a bit easy if you manage to kill the remaining ones.

Last food for though, how did we end in the Void? According the story it seems that we, the nameless Sister, Yani and Ole appeared almost at the same time, and the relation between those three sisters is a bit strange.

I doubt your dilemma could actually be solved by anybody. So let the mystery itch and hope that any of it will be revealed in the Eng. release.

But I doubt they will share the answers with us >,<. I think IPL always wants the players use their imagination as the only source of answers, I haven't seen any straight answers or facts in Tension. The only things that makes sense are brothers and things they say, they have no reason to lie, dont you think?

Sisters – conscious sweet lies
Brothers - blunt self-eluded confidence

I have finished the Polish edition of Tension, great game, great story, excellent style.
Just have some thoughts and questions about game endings. I made it to the 4 different endings: freed 3 different sisters, and got out by myself. So, if I calculate correctly there are 11 endings for different sisters (including the ending for the nameless sister, which sadly I cannot access, since her tree is not reacting to painting when the hero is filled with colours - bug?), 1 for the hero and 1 negative ending, when the time passes (I read about it in the Polish edition guide, the ending for the nameless sister is mentioned there as well).
I read somewhere, I can't remember where ;), that there are more than 20 endings of Tension.
So the question is basically: Are there any other endings that I haven't thought about? Is it possible to end the game teaming up with Brothers (how)? Or get other endings by killing all the Sisters and/or Brothers?

You can free a sister and go out with her)

Thanks WhiteWind, but how? When I use the revolution sign on the chosen sister (while filled fully with colours) and get out of her chamber, I have only little colour left go get to the "exit" chamber. When I go in, automatically I get the ending movie, where the sister gets out alone. Any clues?

Yes, of course)
Game will not stop after the movie if there is the bridge in the exit chamber. So, you need twice amount of color to get out with sister.

So:

1- Create Bridge
2- Refill colour (potentialy tricky)
3- W on sister
4- Watch sister movie
5- Run like mad :D
6- Profit

? :D

OK, thanks very much guys - I got it now. This is going to be tough. I'll need more trees filled on max ;)

By the way - about the nameless sister: Is there really way to revive her? I read that I have to use the W on the tree in her chamber. But the tree doesn't react to color. Mamybe I'm doing something wrong, the Polish edition guide is my only source on that one, it is mentioned there that the tree may be bugged. So is this really a bug?

Is the tree white as in ravaged by brothers, or with the colour you first painted it with?

I tried on the russian version and it always worked, all bight crashing further down the revival sequence.

@ Throdax - the tree is still in the colour I first painted it with, and inactive. Was your edition with the patch?

By the way, I managed to get out with a sister - I got the differet poem after my exit (than when alone) and more points at the end. Nice, but I still like the sisters' endings the most - not only various nice poems but colours and other effects change with different sisters.

I used the original DD and unpatched russian version.
