HSR spoiler talk ahead
.
I think this is a popular theory, where we are in a timeloop dream in Penacony, and upon a re-watch im starting to think it's true.
Some moments that stand out to me are when we first arrive in Penacony and meet Acheron, where she seems to recognize us. We also have a series of images flash on screen that might be what we've experienced before. That being said, I don't think the Acheron we interact with throughout the story is anymore aware of a loop than we are, this moment felt like a slice out of time.
Another moment is when we're tracing Firefly's footsteps and in the tv room, she says she wants to try again. I wouldn't have given it much thought had Acheron not drawn more attention to it. She also seemed more attached to us than what a day would allow but thats my own view.
What really kinda sealed it for me was when we met Aventurine at the end. When we were walking down the hallway, he said it was a familiar hallway to a familiar room and says he remembers the little game we played. The way it's phrased makes it seem like he's just talking about our meeting at the beginning of the game when he gives us his room but he says "I finally remember". I think that memory he was referring to was that but now it seems so far away since he did indeed remember everything. To us, we met him a day ago. Maybe with his memories back, it's been much longer.
There are other things that I'm absolutely missing but these were three key moments for me. There's just some little stuff that seems to allude to reversing time, such as clockie and the clockwork powers. And there's definitely something going on with Misha, and I bet we've had a closer relationship with Robin at some point.
Whether it's the Watchkeeper's legacy or the family or how anything is possible in a dream or hell if there's another memokeeper around who's less benevolent and is messing with everyone's memories, I don't think this is our first run.
And a fun similarity: Acheron sometimes speaks with red text, something that happens in umineko no naku koro ni which happens to be a time loop of sorts, or rather a retelling of what story was actually told. When a certain character speaks in red text, it means that what she's saying is the truth.
I'm very curious to see what the red text means for Acheron. She says we will see the world in black and white, but sometimes red will appear when there's a choice being made.
So maybe the red text she speaks is a choice being made - but there's no other choices. Like when you refuse for her to join you and Black Swan, she asks for you to repeat your answer until there is only one option left - also in red. This would also call back to what Aventurine told us when at the beginning of the game and what he repeated at the end:
Allow me to make you an offer - one you can't refuse. No reason to choose otherwise...
If it's a time loop, maybe the red text she speaks are things that will absolutely happen in every loop?
Anyway this isn't any actual theory crafting, I'm more just typing out my train of thought. I've seen other theories too - especially about Acheron and Firefly - and I'm really curious to see where this is gonna go

*sigh* well sooner or later she will get mixed up in this mess
But in all seriousness:
While i dont agree with her, we shouldnt harass her because of it. Cuz imagine being angry at PM for not protecting its employees from harassment.....so you go ahead and harass a person working with PM because of they desire to work with a person they worked 3 years with and that might know/understand more about a certain situation than us. How are we better than them? Dont you find it ironic? That’s just low hanging fruit
As for Cassie:
We’re sorry for our behavior but prior to your response we would love you to give it a second thought. Yes you guys have been friend for years but if your friend done something wrong you should steer them to the correct path as a good friend should be. This ‘controversy’ is no mere mistake and shouldnt be taken lightly
