Oh my....perhaps this backtracking to fix past inconsistencies could allow for a game environment in which "Mandela effect" events happen naturally from time to time. Could make for an interesting game mechanic.

You're right. There is backtracking in the demo and when it happens it looks quite eerie. The world around you just decides it wants to look different and changes.

That sounds like it could be mechanically cool. Or at least lead to a cool setting.

It seems like it would work very well in a horror game. Though random generation doesn’t lend itself too well to horror.
