Okay, so the plot has the hero character fighting the Big Bad,
Turns out, the hero is actually a clone and the Big Bad is the original, the difference between the two is that the hero is a clone of the villain created by the villain to 'restore his old self' and to ensure that his sins are not given to his prior name (instead going by an alias and insisting him and his former self are two different people)
The hero is in all ways identical to the villain, having the same experiences (up to that face->heel turn), the same thoughts, appearance, personality, everything.
The villain gives a monologue essentially summing up to "My God, what have I done" and "Please kill me".
What does the hero think at this point?

| I guess the hero realizes the world is too dangerous with either of them. He decides he must fall beside his counterpart and as he grabs a-hold of the villain, he shoves a katana through the back of the villain and through his own heart, killing both of them. |

Mem, that'd be quite a big disappointment for the audience. A dramatic death like that should not happen without either:
The hero being reborn - the story to continue after his death
OR
A sequel.

To be honest this probably will be a one-off thing because it's taking 7 - 9 years of development time because I'm writing *the whole game* from scratch. Not a third-party engine, not reusing existing assets, etc. etc.
The whole engine is being worked on by myself, no other developers on the project. (The other reason why I'm not making a Windows version without a cross-compiler)

??
The renderer backend is all for Vulkan, because I assume in 7 - 9 years Vulkan will be supported on like everything
I started writing this engine last year, and it doesn't even have a full renderer yet, it can just import DAE models and that's it. No camera rotation, no world placement, etc. etc.

But hey who knows, I might even rewrite the whole thing
after all Mass Effect 1 was supposed to end with Shepard being indoctrinated and joining Saren or something like that

I think I got it For some kind of space magic reason the hero creates a time bubble, kills "the other himself", and goes back in time to prevent his creation in the first place and to stop "himself" from becoming the monster
Now how to explain a time warp without well... space magic?
