It’s me. Employee A.
I thought I had been asleep… but when I came to, I was sitting in front of my computer.
On the screen was a block of unfamiliar text—something I don't remember typing.
The words “3:44 AM” were repeated over and over.
What was I doing, sneaking out of bed in the middle of the night...?
That reminded me—I once filmed the team member who stopped coming to meetings during the early days of development.
As the workday was winding down, I was doing my usual rounds of the office and found him still at his desk.
He was silently focused, breaking apart the inner workings of an old game, piece by piece—like solving a puzzle.
He told me he was carefully dismantling and reconstructing it, trying to understand how everything fit together.
At one point, he muttered to himself,
“Why did they write this part like this, I wonder…”
Then he gave a quiet laugh and said,
“But somehow… I kind of get it.”
In that moment, I realized he wasn’t just “restoring” the game.
He was trying to truly understand it—to connect with the thoughts of whoever created it, and the atmosphere of the time it was made.
