And if things r turning out the way I predict it then NPC!Doha is the real villain in the game, that's why Bada saw him kill someone in the beginning before his tape got corrupted or something which causes the person inside NPC!Doha to get booted out. So friendly Doha was the player while batsht Doha is the NPC turned sentient, the person Bada is working with currently.
And maybe the other player guy has Doha's tape or hidden it somewhere bc it's destroyed/broken by him when they fought.
If I'm wrong then the twist has gotta be mindblowing
@tite ni toji I've about a million theories on wtf is going on. My first theory is that Bada IS NOT a player but an npc who became sentient who was driven into insanity and Seongchan became sentient because of the system/video game creator because they wanted to help or fix Bada. Everyone else is player BESIDES BADA. The trick to escaping isn't beating the game, but IMAGINING what the world is like post-game. Also would explain why Bada can't remember anything about his life outside of the game. He never had one.
@OpalEyes WAIT THAT ACTUALLY MAKES MORE SENSE AND A BETTER TWIST IF ITS TRUE BC I FEEL LIKE THE TWO GUYS JUST THOUGHT BADA WAS A PLAYER TOO BC THEYRE ALL PLAYERS IN THE GAME
@tite ni toji I had this thought when Yeongtae said Bada had been there the longest. Out of any of them and when asked about his life before Bada just got a serious expression but would always ALWAYS talk about the game. Also there's something surreal realising that Bada was thinking the players were npcs for a LONG TIME. Also can't remember who it was, but one of the players said something about Bada being the unimportant character. Never saying/doing anything especially relevant to the game just there as an extra just like a npc. It's going to drive me nuts because I don't remember who said it.
Also there was an ending where two characters were noted to have "escaped" in the ending journal. And one of the escapees was that guy who could partially remember things who in the next game run AFTER ESCAPING couldn't remember anything at all. I think the player who was using that character actually escaped the game already and maybe the other guy too? It would explain how he went from some memory to default. The character doesn't have a player anymore and thus went back to default settings. AND Bada can't kill the killer. The killer always immediately gets back up whenever Bada tries. HOWEVER, Doha can kill the killer. I'm thinking this is proof Doha is a player, but Bada is not.
