When his brother died? Yeah...

In the end, we understand (well, that was sometimes obvious when you go back to the "purified areas"...) that the true villain is the Batter (the hero) - it's a monster who wanted to eradicate the world, and the bosses were just kind people who tried their best to run their towns. At the true ending, the Batter switched the power to "OFF" (... the meaning behind the title), and all the lights shut down: there is no more world anymore.

Also, the "despotic" queen of the world was his ex-wife. He killed her, and their ill baby too. One of the most famous quote from the game was her words "You don't even know his first name", talking about the baby. That's heartbreaking...
