i decided to try it out and now i can tell its moreso my fault if i happen to enter kris' menu so yeah its good!
(btw, ill just offhand mention but feel free to ignore if you dont want to or just cant for any obvious reason but a full quick game reset button could be useful for all of these games given either possibly 1. challenge runs or 2. just generally realizing you are fucked and want to reset quickly instead of waiting to get killed)
