if you wanted ISAT to be quick to finish and frictionless you would have put bonnie in a time loop instead

i got stuck like act 3 cause i couldnt figure out a way to beat the king and i kept missing one crucial component of every out so i stopped playing for like a month before finally coming back and finally taking that mf down without either of the items cause i memorized his attack patterns

I remember having a distinct moment of realizing I remembered the layout of each floor exactly, and kind of just going "Oh...I get it now"

It’s 100% makes sense and I love it in a time loop mechanic. I just had visceral reaction when I got to the “right” door and got told to go back where I just shouted “oh fuck you game”. So, I guess it works as intended.

I agree, we should torture players and protagonist more

And then you take the option because it's what both you and Siffrin want. But then Siffrin goes overboard and you get that dissonance that makes you regret it...the same way he does afterward. Easily one of the best moments of the entire game. Crazy that it's missable.

It's a time loop story, the suffering is the good part

I’ve never experienced interactive media like this game where the character’s inner monologue made me feel seen while also being tied to them at the same time. The experience of playing is 1000% necessary

Yeah it was awful. But it made the ending so much more impactful

It has been very draining each time I play it, so even though I know its one of my games of all time and I got it last year, I haven't finished it. It hurts too much each time!!!
