Just finished King Edition! For anyone new to Abscess, I strongly recommend playing 0.82 or even 0.75 (for a shorter playthrough) first, as the new ending does feel explicitly designed for those who played an earlier iteration of the game.
I can see why some folks are upset or confused that King Edition omits Gurgle, but I'm personally very happy that there's now a "complete" version of the game. Incredibly cool that DGT can say they've got a finished title under their belt that they can be proud of with the possibility of revisiting whenever they feel inspired to do so.

What nags at me now is that I have no idea if exploring the No-Go Doors or avoiding every instance of A CURSE IS COMING! (which I did) has any effect on the story. I've never wanted a Prima Strategy Guide for an indie game so badly lol.
