Watched the progression of the game via some Youtube folks, and playing the current version was a thrilling experience. It's not often a game thoroughly hooks me like this, which makes the way my game ended feel rather anticlimactic. I ended up getting something that would lead to an ending, the one that has a strict time limit to defuse? But I wasn't aware of what this was and had saved after that time limit had started. This has led to the save effectively being bricked, and whilst I know I can reset all events and objects on the file screen, it seems like an odd outlier compared to most events where pausing and saving is disabled. Which I guess would lend to the effect this event's meant to give, but it's rather unsatisfying having a Day 43 save lose a bunch of progress because an actually-dangerous event ended up locked-in.
One particularly annoying incident isn't going to totally dampen my interests, however, and I'm looking forward to where development will go from here.
