Thanks this was helpful TT so it's like if an npc accidentally even inserts a tape and plays it, they remember that round and ascend to a non npc player. But as you said, if there's 6 cassette players and 6 characters, everybody can have a cassette player for themselves. But the plot churns cause they keep messing with each other's? Is it like this?
I think if you separate the Cassette player and Cassette tape it will be easier to understand. Keep in your mind that the concept of the game is to have the player explore the new locations (open new map) and each map have one save points.
Save point = Cassette player = one save point per map, This is simple.
to saving the progress you have to insert the cassette tape and PLAY.
The saving has 2 functions, save the memory and the map.
The cassette player are not binding to any tapes therefore you can remove another character’s tape and replace with your own.
What people seem to confused is how the “Cassette Tape” works not the cassette player or save points.
The cassette tape work like an ID card, you can use any cassette player to save your progress, but not all the cassette tape belongs to you. If you insert another character’s tape it’s their save point. (Like when Bada insert Yongteak’s black tape)
BUT this ID card aka cassette tape can be overwritten aka other people can steal your tapes and erased your progress then replace with their progress and use it as a save point item for them
The problem is, they are not enough cassette player for all tapes. They already found 4 cassette players but there are already 6 tapes (including 2 cassette tapes that Doha carried with him in chapter 31) . It’s implied that not all of 6 members can become players in the same round.
Now I think if you guys reread hiatus chapters with the game concept in mind (explore new map and save) and separate cassette players and tapes it will easier to understand.
Bonus, they’re 6 members in the group, 6 Cassette tapes has been found.
6 tapes including Bada 1 Doha 1 Sungchan 1 (the one with check mark) Yongteak 2 (black and white tape with “END END END” written on) and yellow 1 (I can’t remember the owner name) . And remember the Tape can be stealth and NPC can become player.
