> This is a game about war and hate. Child who plays this war suffers from real war which claimed the lives of his parents and destroyed his childhood. So, there is could be only one ending.

I respectfully disagree. I don't think you should change it, because it's not my business to tell you what message your game should send, but imagine this: the player reaches the enemy battlemaster with no kills and they sign a truce instead.

I think seeing the child deal with his grief in a positive way, and take what I think is the only right lesson from what he's seen (that war is terrible and should be avoided), would be a beautiful thing, and giving the player control over that ending would be very powerful.

Well, that's one way of looking at it, but I do think the game says more about war than it does about the child. I enjoyed it either way, well done =)
