all analogue nowhere characters are unreliable narrators and the actual plot is just a mixture of truth and brain chip glitch hallucinations

you may be closer to the truth than you realize.

Some say the entirety of the techno-mage plotline is OpenBlade relaying its adventures with the mage to Fosschild.
