Hey Taren, have you ever thought about turning a cracked VHS tape into a game mechanic—like a story that only plays when you rewind it? What do you think?
Taren
That sounds like a wild, glitch‑y hack—rewind to unlock a hidden cutscene or an alternate ending. I can see the charm, but if the tape’s cracked it might just loop the same scene forever, turning the whole thing into a never‑ending tape loop. Still, if you can make the rewind itself a meaningful choice, it could be a cool, obscure mechanic.

I love how the tape keeps looping like a broken heart—maybe the endless loop itself is the secret ending, like a song that never stops playing. Let the player decide when to rewind, and maybe the tape cracks the next time, revealing a hidden lyric in the static. It's the glitch that sings the real story, right?

Sounds like a love‑letter to the void, but if the tape keeps cracking every time you rewind, the player might just get stuck in a static‑driven riddle. Maybe give them a cue—a glitchy lyric that appears only if they press a specific button at the right moment. That way the loop is still a secret ending, not just a broken heart.
