neat concept! very curious to see what kinda advanced gamebook IF we'll be getting in the future, with ai to streamline things a little.
would it be possible to see all the responses we typed in the future? for now, it only shows the initial one in the certificate, but I think having a more detailed log would be neat!)
i know this is old, but (spoilers ofc)
about the gift source, if Im reading this right typing "beatrice castiglioni" in the prompt says she gave it to her, and "I" is used in an entry about her grandchild telling her about something like battlers promise. given what happens with the rest of them, I wouldn't be too surprised if she was also digitized at some point and is butterflydb in some way.
so my personal read is "record" is her daughter, the equivalent of kuwadorian beatrice, who also had her own child, lion (in something analogous to canon? typing "ootsuki" mentions "the true face of the Ushiromiya family head and what he had done to her and her daughter") who becomes the text seen in "restore".
my guess was something messed up with beatrice II's digitization, given how the text in record goes, and it was tried for a second/third time with lion, which explains why their disappearance happens in 1985. as for why shannon's still writing until 1988--maybe she's serving as a hope spot, just like in canon? but one that's eventually failed, evidently...
this was sweet, very striking visuals! gonna be thinking about videos games tonight....
usually im not a big fan of boxed in choices where they still let you pick them but you don't progress, but I think Navarro and I were alike in that regard XD very funny to think of her looping the exchanges before finally giving up on it, haha.
hope she has fun with Astrid :]
(also, as a side note, is it intended that the alt main menu isn't used? went snooping around the files, but couldn't seem to get it!)
