Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate you sending a link to the VOD too; I (and the rest of the team) absolutely adore watching people's playthroughs! I'll get to it as soon as possible. I've tuned into some of your streams in the past and had a lot of fun in them!
And thank you for the critique. After watching some people play the game, I agree that restarting the entire fight at that point looked like a huge pain. More unfair than it needs to be. My initial reasoning behind this decision (as the writer) is that the guilt-bearer was wracked with nerves and overall isn't great at lying. Furthermore, since it was a representation of a past event, the outcome is unavoidable. But I don't think that was executed as well as it could have been. I agree that it comes across as a bit too convenient. I'll take your words to heart and think of ways it could be improved in a future (post-jam) update! Thank you again!
