I feel like I must've started out as the most boring and paranoid Colt though given I got the “kill literally everyone in an area” achievement in my first loop

It’s very funny to me how this game completely justifies the weird video game thing (well, several of them, but) of there being a whole load of food just sitting around everywhere given the whole event takes place over the course of a single, forever looping day, nobody needs to worry about it going bad out there lmao

The little details about this fucked up little community are so good

I can appreciate how some people may find the repetition a little too much but I really got a kick out of gradually getting to refine my approach to a given area and time period as I progress through the storyline and nudge ever closer to the goal

I pretty thoroughly enjoyed getting owned repeatedly by apparently pretty high level Juliana players a couple of times on the way to the finale, those explosive rounds she can unlock are rough

Overall I really like the game, though I think it might’ve oversold me on the idea that the player was piecing together a series of ways to group visionaries rather than just the one possible set, so that felt a bit deflating once I cottoned on to the format of the finale. It was still real fun getting there, though!

I also re-did the ending to see the other choice - I initially figured Colt would stick to his guns and broke the loop, which was a pretty bleak ending! I speedran a loop and made the other choice, and that seems… like perhaps the more cared-for ending, what with how different it is.
