I never made any sense of the epilogue in Braid. I think that has something to do with the fact that I couldn't figure out how to get half of the books to actually say anything.
The mystery of the ambiguity was fun for a while, but I tired of it once I realised that I was never going to understand it. There was no moment when everything clicked and the entire game made sense. World 1 felt like it wanted to be that, but the epilogue ruined it for me. I love it when a mysterious story clicks into place and you can watch it unfold a second time picking up on the pieces you initially missed. Braid did not do that.
Fantastic game, though. I still haven't found half of the secret stars.
