What to study

Story delivery inside the ship's own computer: the dialogue box sits over a boot log for CATCORE 2.0, complete with a system time fault, a previous-state load, and a hex dump, so the game's premise (a crew reliving a loop inside a machine) is told by the backdrop before a word is read. The speaker portrait, the complete line, and the Next prompt are all settled and legible, unlike the trailer's other dialogue catches, which freeze mid type-in. Frame at about 0:28 in the Jan 2023 Trailer (Steam). No trailer burn-in or captions visible.
