I've bought the game and its great! I've been playing it a lot but now its on pause becuase I'm gonna stop for a day or so. I have one quesion though.

Is it possible to "beat" this game, like in a normal video game? Or can you just go on forever? I was just wondering because I would enjoy the game better if there was a resolving of all of the issues, the most important of which is where all the parents went?

Oh and don't mind about spoilers, it doesn't bother me.

No you don't finish it like a "normal" video game. Thsi unique factor is an essential part of VV's charm, I think. As for where the parents went, I suspect we may find out in VV3, who knows?
