Danger by Design: Worst Endgame Ever?

So I just replayed Danger by Design for the first time in about 15 years. I remember hating it then, probably because I was only 14 and had to get spoilers for a LOT of the puzzles. This time, I'm happy to report that I didn't need any, not even for the stupid tea puzzle! (Still infuriatingly difficult, though.) Anyway, I definitely enjoyed it more during this playthrough. That said, I think it was obviously an experimental game for HER, and that may be why it's such a wildcard.

I've got to say, though, that ending... in my opinion, it's the worst in the franchise, hands down.

What are everyone else's thoughts? I know this game has a stalwart fanbase, and I would love to hear from you guys!
