Yeah
It's based on what I understand, mc, red hair guy, and MC's cousin are playing the game before and they seem to have reached far and many places too. But then MC's cousin removed MC's tape so he completely forgot that he have been playing the game with other players too. Now the red hair guy is explaining to mc how they have been playing and such. That the things that's been happening.
Now, this is what I think. All of them are players, and it seems like they have their each cassette tape. If I'm guessing right, then someone within them removed their tapes and basically betraying them by playing the game by themselves. Since like what the red haired guy said, he is afraid that mc and ml will remove his tape. That'll makes his memory about the game lost and he will start all over again thinking that he is the only player and everyone is npc.
Can someone pls explain wtf is happening?? I am so confused rn
