So for anyone who didn't get the ending, the entire game takes place inside some giant sea creature and at the end this creature is caught and slaughtered, allowing the protagonist to fall free from it's digestion(?) system, onto the conveyer and into the crusher. This is proved by how the protagonist falls, and by the other creatures in two pieces in the background, whos guts and internal creatures also fall onto a conveyer.

Close, it is a newborn. The entire time was an embryo or fertilize egg. The creature like sharks was eating its smallest & weakest siblings.

Also some animals lay their eggs inside other animal like a parasite their offspring grow inside of an animal. Nature is scary & wild.

Well, saying cannibalism is inherently bad is more so a moral thing, that can very well be different depending on ya views on the world and in a world where a pathogen can turn its victims into rabid suffering beasts longing for the sweet release of death and said pathogen causing that to spread. Cannibalism is tame especially when it comes from the need to survive and desperation as well as common sense.

(well maybe snakes coz a lot of people HATE them for some reason, probably the amount of snake = evil symbolism in cultures) and even though it is sad to watch, the weird fetus creatures aren't evil for cannibalizing. to us it may be wrong but i'm assuming to them eating members of their own species is the same as eating any other creature. human morals are completely made up so they don't really apply to nature. to judge an animal for a doing something that's completely natural for *them* just because it is immoral and unnatural for *us* is just silly. like when people call killer whales mean for eating penguins cause penguins are cute, lol.

I love these classic flash game style games!!! Especially the ones where you swallow things and get their powers or get bigger and bigger.

You can not know for sure, but I asked the creator in a Q&A if there would be a sequel, and he answered that that would be hard, as he implied that it got killed :/

Dude, that is just about the saddest take on this game so far :'(

[@unchained8491]

I agree that’s what the game is trying to tell, but I believe everything is not for nothing. I believe being alive and experiencing things is a lot more interesting than just blank space as if nothing exists.

Sharks do that in real life, they hatch inside their mother & the biggest eat the smallest one. The female mates with different males so, the strongest offspring survives & pass down their genes if they get to adulthood. Nature is wild.

[@LeviathanPLSDONATE]

for those who didn't understand the real idea of the game, actually the name "swallow the sea" is about the human being with its heavy machinery and destructive technology devouring more and more the sea and destroying its ecosystem little by little as shown in the end of the game

[@anaxolotl6637]

For anyone thinking it's weird for the embryo to eat it's undeveloped brothers and sisters, remember that most of us likely had a twin with us in our mother's womb, we just ended up absorbing them.

[@Bookhan_beats]

The Ouroboros (snake devouring itself from the tail) is a symbol of the cycle of matter in the universe, which devours itself to be born again and so on indefinitely

The final frame before the screen goes black shows the chrusher being lower than the previous frames.

So the first things you ate are your own kind. The red snakey things and the blue stuff are clearly of a different species. I wonder if the character you play as is the offspring of that big purple snake face eating itself?

[@Jermain-cz4bh]

nah else it wouldnt have legs and a trunk

[@GeorgeDCowley]

I think those are parasites eating the parent's corpse (we see signs of it being dead early on, and the last scene supports that).
