The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

    I played it about a year ago! They've been updating it since I played it and added paths. There are a couple endings I thought were quite hopeful, I'll spoiler it for you

    spoiler

    You have to go through these cycles 5 times, and ultimately decide if you want to continue endlessly doing this thing or if you think Death should be reunited with Possibility (what the Princess really is), or a couple other endings.

    The princess always takes the form you think she should, she's essentially a mirror. If you think she should be cynical or villainous, she will be. If you think she's a trapped helpless princess, she'll be one. She gets more complicated as you repeat cycles by adding more context. You can also get a version of her by rejecting to enter the house, it's very fractured. I also really liked the version where she degrades by asking what she wants if you rescue her first lol.

    The raven/narrator really does think the world will end if you don't kill her, because he's obviously quite uncomfortable with Death/Change.

    I'm gonna encourage you to keep trying until you get to somewhere much different. You will know when the game actually ends, it doesn't end after one or two or three passes through.

    There's an ending with her where you've both betrayed each other a couple times, but you show real tenderness to her and real love. I thought it was quite touching. I can give you the sequence if you wanna experience it, first time try to rescue her until the narrator takes control and then let him kill her (using you), second time give the knife to the witch, third time reconcile with Thorn and you get to smooch her! It's actually really nice, I liked it.

      Oh that's really nice!

      spoiler

      I was wondering if the only resolution I'd get was after doing the cycle enough times, but I wasn't sure what that would even look like with how horrible everything I've seen has been.

      I'm surprised. I tried to let her out, maybe twice? One time I definitely remember her deciding to kill us both. I did notice how complicated some of her states are, the ghost form sticks out at me as being really hard to navigate. I'll try to avoid the house again too, I tried that once and the game forced me to enter.

      Thank you, I definitely will. I knew there would be endings I didn't see, I didn't know how varied they would be. I tried trusting her a few times, it seemed to end badly for me. Very interested to see all the other paths.

        This is a very light spoiler, don't read it if you still wanna be blind

        spoiler

        She reacts based on how you anticipate she should, don't bring the knife down and you can trust her! She'll just be a lonely lost scared princess.
