Peak.

yes
thanks for playing :D and sorry for the long cutscene :/
deleting file0.txt (which is located in AppData) does indeed put you back in the beginning without having to replay the cutscene after death over and over. im planning to somewhat "fix" this by making the dying cutscene shorter and curing the game's dementia.
also, if you didn't know, it's possible to skip the cutscene after death by immediately pressing Alt+F4 once you die, as file0.txt does not get written to AppData until about 8 seconds pass.
im glad you decompiled my game (cause no one really did that to one of my games before). i actually plan to share the project files after finishing this demo under a permissive-ish license, probably MIT, but i would have to learn Git and create a GitHub account first.
once again, thanks for playing my game, and have a nice day :D
