Thank you, Noah, for answering all my questions and clearing up the sources of confusion.
As a token of my gratitude, I present you with: another question!!
Regarding edging/stroking to a given number (N) of pages... are we to include the current page in this count? Sometimes there are only a small handful of posts/pictures on it.
So, how are we to interpret "the last N pages"? Is it...?
- "the last N full pages" (i.e. ignoring the current one)
- "the last N pages, starting with the current one"
- "the last N pages, plus the current one" (i.e. N+1 pages)
- situation-dependent (e.g. only count it once it hits a certain post count)
- "the last 15*N posts" (since there are 15 posts per page)
- however the %^#@ you want to
In my opinion, option E makes the most sense... that is, counting N
pages' worth of posts, rather than strictly defined pages from top to bottom. But it also seems like the most tedious.

Maybe we should always just round
What Kristycookie said is correct. If it is not mentioned then it means a restart (Floor 1). However, I always give the freedom to personalize. In a new update, to also include the feedback that has been given, in contrast to the current denial endings of the roof there will probably always be a chance to get multiple options. Maybe in some this will be a chance to end on multiple floors or maybe even a smaller chance for release. This means that in the reworks this will be clarified in every roof tease.
As for the pages. Option F definitely made me chuckle and seems like the best attitude when doing things for fun

. However, it is a fair question. The way it is defined it means the last three pages that have any pictures. This could lead to a page that has fewer pictures than a full page (which could be considered luck within the game). The amount of three (possibly four) should be high enough to compensate for a lesser third page. Yet again, if you feel like you do not deserve the key by doing three pages then you are free to cover the whole topic

Also, in the reworks I am thinking of making it optional to randomize the pages so that the pictures that have to be edged/stroked to differ from key to key (based on feedback that has been given). This will bring some new complications, but we will figure it out.
Anyway, with games like this it is always hard to find a balance between overloading with such detailed descriptions that people are too intimidated that they do not dare to give it a try and creating instructions that are clear enough for you to keep the immersion. I am glad people play and ask questions!
On a complete different note: currently personal circumstances complicate actively participating myself, which I find a shame. Nevertheless I will try to keep the game running for all of you. The tease that will be released on the 11th still needs some work and it might be delayed a few days. Hopefully you all will respect that.
