I left it vague as to what he is doing in that moment to let players interpret it differently. What it represents to me though has always been that of less physically damaging and more toying/molestation of the students body. It comes from a very dark place and I wouldn't want to shove that specific meaning onto anyone. I hope that this somewhat answers your question.
Thank you for taking the time to do this, it means a lot! What this game represents was somewhat shoved aside by those more interested in its direct horror (which is not a bad thing!) but seeing players confused by the ending did leave me feeling that I failed in conveying its theming. Seeing the work you put into this page is a very comforting reminder that regardless of what players take away from the game that people like yourself exist and can express genuine interest in something I've made. I am really lucky to have that. Thank you again for making this article it's very well put together and I loved reading the possible interpretations!
There is a lot of info online that could better show you how to achieve PS1 Style graphics but some of the major constraints of the style are
Low resolution textures with limited color pallet, Low poly models(I used Blender and Sprytile), Limited Resolution (I scale the game to 320*240 with no aliasing), and Lo-fi Sounds (I just change the sample rate of recorded sounds to 8000 or 16000)
I recommend looking into the actual limitations of the PS1 and working with those limitations in mind.
There is also The Haunted PS1 Discord (their twitter has link in bio) which has a lot of devs also trying to achieve PS1 style in various engines so check it out if you are interested. Their game jams are the only reason I've finished my games! I hope this helped wasn't sure how to answer this.
The game has to be run from the folder you extracted the zip. The exe should not be moved. It may also be that your using a 32-bit system which this game doesn't support.
