yeah by straight adaptation I mean the writers would just have to make those choices and it's like any other slasher movie, completely ignoring everything that made the game interesting

or it could be an interactive film like Bandersnatch, then it would essentially be a live action version of the game but probably worse

actually I'm liking the death loop premise more and more. it's at least thematically relevant to the game, except the characters are the players. slasher Groundhog Day sounds great if it's done well
