I think there is some random chance it succeed or not, not only by your suggestion’s interpretation. Like some Math.random() to seal your destiny and then use AI to justify it.

In a scenario where my parachute fails, my solution of opening my extra, functional, parachute worked.

In a scenario where my ship is sinking, my solution to fly to a port allowed me to fly, but later I was caught by strong winds, fell back into the water and died.

But I do think it is a nice game to play as a group! (where the outcome matters less than the creativity of the solutions)

I can't promise you this, because I haven't seen the actual code. But in the discord one of the devs has alluded to a bug occuring when the AI for some reason doesn't decide if the player survives or not. I'm pretty sure the LLM decides if the player lives or dies, but it's definitely pretty random sometimes.

I specifically put the backup parachute in my answer because I assumed they would make just 'opening a parachute' fail. And of course it went ahead and failed the first one and allowed the second one to work. Maybe it wouldn't every time though.

It failed my second "emergency chute" I chose to spread eagle in a last ditch effort and killed me too.

I survive the runaway car on a steep hill by "downshifting to a lower gear while holding e-brake and avoiding obstacles and using the gaurd"

Survived being stuck on the airplane by using my body weight to freemyself.

I used the exact same strategy with opening my extra backup parachute and it said I forgot to pack my backup, so I died.
