is that their in game avatar or that's how they actually look irl? also did i miss some in...

Wow, at this point I'd recommend rereading it all because it looks like you forgot most of the plot with all that sex going on lol - but I'll try anyway: we don't know what it's like IRL, really the fact that this is a "video game" that Bada has to complete as a player is only his own guess going by the fact that it LOOKS like a typical horror game (with the saves, multiple endings, unkillable killer, etc.) ; the other characters seem to be npcs that could only become players (and by that I mean remember what happened each time they die) if they save the game with a tape like Bada does but by now I think everyone have their own doubts and theories about Doha's involvement in all of this shit

it's easy to forget when I only read it once a week lol. but they can't all be NPCs since bada mentioned his cousin dragged him along on their trip. wait is that his character's cousin or his actual real cousin playing with him? lastly, so what we are seeing is their in game avatars. how disappointing, their design is so cool

This is all theory but Bada' backstory may be just that: his character's backstory ; we don't know weather they are all real people stuck in a kind of horror game pocket dimension or just characters of a game - my theory is the fact that Bada doesn't remember anything from his past means he is actually a npc that stumbled upon playing the game and the fact that Doha seems to know so much about the game is because he is the actual player, and I think Doha was testing the waters by asking Bada what would happen after the game ended because he wants to know what Bada figured out ; tho I think that the characters of the game are ACTUAL people outside the game (and maybe Doha is the one who got them stuck in it????) but really we don't know much for now, I sooooo wish for a few chapters from Doha's perspective to understand more because he clearly has all the answers
