After yesterday, I'm starting to wonder how much my actions really make a difference in this game... It makes me reflect on how I might act if I were able to rewind time and maybe, change how I did things... Wow, life sure would be a whole lot different! But, would it be as interesting, or meaningful? If I knew the outcome of every decision, or at least how others would respond to my actions... I don't know how I'd feel about that to be honest...
This just got a whole lot more intense! I'm somehow supposed to save this entire town from a massive storm?! How?? It's not like I can just tell them all what I've been seeing and doing... Not only would that put myself in a very very awkward position, but none of them would believe me anyways! This is quite the problem...
Anyways, enough about the actual game. I'm not sure where to begin in analyzing this from an ethical perspective. There's of course the question of "Is it ethical to manipulate others or the outcomes of the future because I know how they'll respond anyways?" But then to go beyond that, is it my place to make those changes? How do I know when I should and shouldn't 'rewind' and make things different? Do I just go forward making every decision and then trying different permutations of that decisions until I'm satisfied with the result? You could spend a lifetime on some actions doing things differently, seeing how it worked out...

I'm slightly anxious about today. I don't know how I feel about some of these decisions I have to make. I guess it raises the question of how ethical is it to be able to make decisions or actions knowing that you can just rewind time and it's as though nothing ever happened? What's the difference between that and just never being caught or anyone else ever knowing?? Wow, these kids are really at each other's throats! What could possibly be worth a potential murder, much less at a high school?!?

Right from the beginning, I started feeling slight amounts of anxiety as I was informed that every decision I made in the game would have lasting consequences. I like the freedom I have to just explore. I feel compelled to read and look at every little thing in the game. There's no time constraints (yet) that require me to go from one objective to the other in any hurry. Wow, this just got a whole lot more interesting! The ability to reverse time?? Did not see that coming... I'm guessing I will have to witness and the prevent a lot of different disasters or incidents, judging by the scene in the bathroom... Really interesting developments. I was not expecting this at all from this game! I'm slightly overwhelmed by all the possibilities that could result from my actions, but I think I'm going to just press through the game without worrying too much about that, and just see where it takes me.
