The only thing I still don’t get is what door the key in the piano room opens? The only one still closed is the one you respawn at, and that one doesn’t open…

If you google the title along with the author of the only real book in the game, it may throw some light. :)

I didn’t touch the piano on my first play, that seems to have made me unable to make that interpretation. My head must’ve got stuck in the “did my job, returned home” ending.

When I did play it, it only seemed to imply something in the lines of “he was as human as we all are.”

I also never thought of Rick Deckard what you oh so subtly just told me. I don’t consider it a spoiler, since I already saw the movie and most probably would’ve never guessed it.

(And it’s really just the sitting down at the piano at the end that implies this at all, but if you assume there’s a Blade Runner thing going on, that fits too.)

(Add’l note: I kind of forgot that there are a bunch of different cuts of Blade Runner out there, and that not all of them as strongly imply the thing about the main character I’ve been referring to but trying not to completely spoil.)

That code opens the first door in SS1 and became a sort of trope.
