Incidentally, this makes me realise that somebody should write a Death Game AU of the Bunker Diary. Seriously, it’s like three quarters of the way there already. There’s definitely attempted killings and death traps for the trapped characters along with the other general mindfuckery, and really where everything goes wrong is when they break the kidnapper’s rules. As we all in this genre know, you gotta follow the rules. (This is why you saw that newspaper article about how it was relentless misery, by the way. The writer clearly is not a fan of Death Game set ups. Also, no happy endings.)
The notes: now this explains something I wondered earlier. I thought it was a bit suspicious that in the Main Game last chapter, Sara and Q-taro’s occupations were incorrectly listed due to the paper switchup, but Keiji’s still appeared to be accurate. That becoming ex-detective works nicely for me: he wasn’t totally lying, but it’s not just coincidence that it lined up correctly. Also, after the discussion that Alice and Keiji had about Alice’s murder, it is extremely interesting that Sou is not listed there. Neither are Kai and Joe – is it because neither were intended to be here but tried to rescue Sara? And, so far as I can see, Nao also isn’t listed (unless she is the most surprising boxer ever). Very curious, unless we’re missing a page. (I typed this up while holding the screenshot on the 4 pages, so it wasn’t clear this would all be brought up.) And if we are missing a page, it seems like they’ll all be 0.0%ers assuming this is some sort of vote because of how it’d total up. (A vote of who will survive/win?)
The difference between the 2 ending sequences to chapter 2 part 1 is… very interesting. This game creator is giving themselves a lot of work to pull this off.
I was going to keep on writing until the end of chapter 2, but realised how long this is, so mid chapter split it is!
