6 itemsAbout the Game
The world wasn’t saved by the hero’s blade, but by the editor’s mouse cursor.
You are a dedicated video editor tasked with manipulating battle footage of a hopeless warrior who can’t clear a dungeon. Hired by a warrior with no skill but endless ego, you must produce flashy “clear videos” that make it look like a flawless victory.
Analyze pre-battle intel that reveals enemy attack patterns, then place the warrior’s limited action clips on a timeline to write a scenario where victory is inevitable.
Satisfy both the cheering townsfolk and the dopamine-addicted Demon Lord, complete a fake heroic legend in seven days, and save the world.
Design the Win Before the Battle Begins
In the video editor, enemy attack patterns and disruptive actions are provided as pre-recorded footage.
Before the battle begins, players preview the timeline to identify exactly when attacks will occur and plan their countermeasures accordingly.
Clip Editing
Design the warrior's movements by placing 「Move」,「Melee Attack」,「Ranged Attack」, and 「Block」 clips onto an 8-tick timeline.
Visual Effects (VFX)
The highlight of editing is post-processing! Instantly transform a simple walk into a Teleport, or turn a weak jab into a Critical Hit to overwhelm your enemies.
Running low on memory? Don’t worry! Meet optimization goals such as "Fill All Timeline Slots," "Land 2+ Effective Hits," or "No Damage Taken" to increase your available memory capacity.
A Story Told Through FAKE Clear Videos
Enjoy the stark contrast between the warrior’s shameless request emails and the hero-worshipping news that pops up on your desktop.
In reality, the so-called hero is always running away—but turning them into the savior of the world through a nerve-wracking con is entirely up to you.
