hiya! here are some of the very disorganized notes i took while reading this :)
ooh this is a diabolical idea. knew there was a loop going in, but didn't expect THAT to be the reason. i'm already imagining ways to play up shane as a slimeball.
i'd love to see some examples of how you envision the horror adapting based on certain fears--some ideas i can already picture (i.e. PCs barely survived ABH? horror looks like a carc) but did you have other things in mind as well?
this is inspiring me to riff on it, like, you know what room i would want to see in the studio? an editing bay, where the player sees dozens of tvs showing dozens of different interviews starring themselves (or for a real headfuck, some person who looks almost like them, making it clear that THEY are the "replacement" actor)
it's favourably reminding me of a certain japanese video game that came out in 2017 (i'm not even mentioning the name of that game because just comparing the two would be spoilers) -- if you know, you know :) loved that game! love that i am getting that game's vibes here.
appreciate the very clean map, easy to mentally navigate for those like me who often struggle with maps in these things.
this is real fun! i imagine i'd have to do a bit to adapt it for our table but i bet i'd get some good reactions from my players.
