Prompt 4:
I played through this game and restarted multiple times in order to eventually reach "the truth." The more scenarios I decided to pursue (the casino, the grocery store, etc.) and then came to the conclusion that it was just an ordinary day, the more I found myself wanting to get to the bottom of it and find out the truth. I went through the first several scenarios feeling very uncertain about what the truth was, or how I would eventually find it. I thought that choosing to investigate things myself, such as going to the grocery store and talking to the clerk, would eventually lead me to the truth when it was really just a matter of continuing on my original path. So, I did feel like this game suggested those different paths as they were areas that crime was occurring, but they rejected those paths as holding the actual answer. Even then, when I did finally reach the truth, there is not a "clean" conclusion to the story and I still felt like I was seeking the truth to a certain extent. The repetition of the ordinary day passages at the end of most of the paths was interesting, as I found myself anticipating those passages as I tried different paths that didn't lead to the truth. I almost wanted to be able to pursue different paths and "change my mind" rather than just following the story to bed and then restarting. It felt somewhat repetitive in this way, but I suppose that aspect does mimic what an ordinary day might feel like.
