It's hard enough getting people to understand that we don't deal in canon on this wiki, but realistically the place would explode if we said they were — a determination about the sources we find accepable — when the production team called 'em "canon". Plus, the stories don't technically have multiple endings. There is a "right" way to play the game, and there are no social aspects to it. It's pretty linear storytelling. Although it's possible to do things in different orders, you kinda have to do almost everything that's possible to do.

Attack of the Graske did at one point bear a notdwu banner. If that's been taken down it should be replaced. It's very clear that you can fail the options and the game just ends. So failure is an option. Plus, ya got the whole thing of the Doctor breaking the fourth wall and talking to you, which is a nightmare for us to deal with. At one point, we actually had an article called "You" on this wiki because "you" are a character in Attack of the Graske. I'm not kidding.

I'm honestly not sure about The Eternity Clock, because I haven't played it or seen anything to do with it, aside from the videos on the site. Isn't the deal that it's just a side-scroller? If so, and there's not much deviation in the narrative path, then it very well could be allowable.
