I'd like to thank my office's network for crashing today, allowing me to work at home today so I can enjoy this live for a change. Thanks for the WFH entertainment!
There was one part near the end where the cop says something like "Okay, forget about all the murder stuff for a minute, I came here for the watch." The protagonist says "Oh, I don't have it on me, let me go get it," to which the cop replies "I'm not falling for that" and knocks him out. So I had to loop through the whole thing again, except picking up the watch this time. That made me kind of legitimately angry.
I think this was intended by the developers but maybe it didn't translate for everyone? Spoilers for the end, but that sequence got me to go get the watch immediately the next loop, which then caused me to realize it was going backwards, so I waited and that got me to the last bit where you are in the past with the father. So I didn't actually go through the loop again, it stopped right at the beginning. I thought it was a clever way of hinting at what to do next since the first thing you'd do is go get the watch, but I can see how annoying it would be if you didn't look at the watch for longer than normal because you pick it up so many times, so why would you stare at it in this loop?
I feel like the player is encouraged to stare at it in that instance because the husband's hand immediately starts to fade out as the time winds backwards. Maybe that is a reference that only plays for folks old enough to be versed in the time travel mechanics of Back to the Future, but seeing that immediately made me want to find out what happened when he faded away entirely.
