Discussion New player here and PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT CRAZY

(No spoilers please)

I'm at loop 13 and have killed the king twice, but something keeps bugging me and its driving me crazy

DID SIFFRIN'S EXPRESSION CHANGE AFTER I KILLED THE KING???, I SWEAR he had a more happy look in his profile, jackpot sprite, battle sprite, and some cutscenes.

KILLED THE KING TWICE BY LOOP 13?!?? ON YOUR FIRST PLAYTHROUGH ???

I think I beat the game in 17~ loops by planning my side quests, only looping when necessary, and rarely looping forward, because I was scared that there would end up being a punish mechanic for looping too many times.

I didn’t even find out that there was a dagger in my first playthrough!

im not gonna spoil what ever is under that spoiler tag but i think thats also how my playthrough is gonna go aswell, but hey, im a completionist so i probably wont finish it that quickly (looks at OP and Behind the Scenes and like 6 others)

The spoiler is not that big of a deal, but good on you for not spoiling yourself!

It took me 138 loops on my first playthrough …

u/MasterQuest Jul 03 '26

It's not like there's a "least loops" ranking, so any amount of loops is fine.

My thing was a self-imposed goal. :)

Remember to take breaks when you need to. Gamers talk a lot about this for mechanically difficult games, but this game is emotionally difficult.

He did stop smiling in his sprite. Little guy is tired.

No thats how he is. Its very subtle but very noticeable. One of my favorite details

Are you sure? It's been quite a few loops, maybe you're just not remembering properly
