ok i just finished rereading and I understand the cassette tapes in the bags are actually a shocking revelation
ch11 p21 - bada: remember items don't count in the inventory until the game starts
ch8 p18 - bada: you can only save after the killer appears
ch30 p18 - bada: the save will only be recorded after the killer appears
ch13 p6 - doha: the tape already in the cassette player contains previous save data right? is it alright to throw it (old tape) away?
bada: yes cause the newer tape creates new save data. EVEN IF YOU KEEP THE OLD TAPE, IT WILL BE GONE IN THE NEXT GAME (session). why do you ask?
doha: just wondering. thought it'd be a good idea to keep a copy in case something went wrong.
ch22 p20 - doha: even if everything you say turns out to be wrong, I'm not leaving your side
seongchan discovers that doha is keeping two cassette tapes in his bag, one with yellow color (hyungshin's tape from the car) and another tape with green color. why the hecc does he have two tapes on hand and the green one has a check on it???
doha is so sus, why do i feel like he knows something about the game that bada doesnt?
and seongchan feels that the tapes look "familiar".
i kind of agree that maybe those tapes were tapes owned by other NPCs?
I think Nam doha doesn't die at all, considering how the cassette tapes are fully functional my idea is that he literally rewinds the tape and the story starts over
And Seongchan saw Nam doha use the tape to save in a previous run, that's why he remembers it, but what you said is also true I think
I binged it and it was really good and I have so many questions
i find it so weird that we never see nam doha die. it always restarts from bada's POV after he dies and he just asks doha "how did you die?"
I'm still wrapping my head around the saving with cassette tapes. What does he save? I thought if he saved, he would restart the game from that save point but he always starts in the car again. Is he saving items? But he also mentioned one chapter that would need to redo puzzles in order to get the mission item again so it also doesn't get saved?? Someone mentioned that he's saving memories? Can't he just die and not save and lose or his memories and return to being a game character? Or is it because he's already saved so his memories will always retain from his last save point??
did him seeing doha kill a random villager trigger something? I'm so confused, will reread and patiently wait for s2
