>Thinking you’re the protagonist with amnesia when in reality you were a sleeper agent for a dark god, and in every other timeline you slaughtered all of your friends and became it’s avatar.
>Turns out that that as a result of infinite timelines you happened to get amnesia in this one from an accident, and as a result became a decent person
>The final boss is you from one of the infinite other timelines trying to “correct” this one by either forcing you to accept your destiny or failing that, eliminate this entire timeline.
>They have every skill you’ve learned up to that point plus mad buffs from the dark god
>But whatever you choose to be weak to in the beginning of the game is still effective on the alternate you, and is essential for winning on most difficulties.
>The battle takes place on the back of the partially revived god.

You guys realize that the antagonist isn't always evil right? The antagonist is just whoever the main character has to fight against. The protagonist can be evil you know...
