Throughout Superhot you are slowly doing more and more egregious actions, like robbing airports and stealing planes and whatnot. As you go through the game accomplishing these tasks given to you after you put on the headset, you become very familiar with following orders. By the end of the game, the last level, you put on your headset and continue as normal. Upon finishing the game, you remove your headset. A knock comes at the door and it's a being (either a drone or a person can't quite recall). Your character is then at the edge of your roof. You look left, nothing. You look right, empty. You look up, sky.You look down, and you see the ledge. The only place left to go is to step off.
It's very powerful. It has quite an impact and I understand why they chose to remove it, however I wish it were made an option because it is such a strong story for those who feel comfortable with the subject matter. I am very glad that I played it a few months before they pushed the update removing that ending.
For anyone interested, you can still download that version of the game on Steam.
